THE son of real estate tycoon Kwek Leng Beng has been named deputy chief executive officer at City Developments Limited (CDL), the property group said in a Singapore Exchange filing Monday morning. It also announced that it had found a new chief financial officer.
Sherman Kwek Eik Tse, 40, will assist the CEO, Grant Kelley, in overseeing and managing "key operating divisions" within the group, CDL said, adding that he would relinquish his positions as chief investment officer of the group and chief executive officer of CDL China.

The group also named a new CFO, Yiong Yim Ming, who had been senior vice-president for group accounts including subsidiaries and joint ventures.
Ms Yiong, 42, is taking over from the group's previous CFO, Goh Ann Nee, who resigned in January this year.
