    [SINGAPORE] National carrier Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) chairman Peter Seah was redesignated as a non-independent director at the conclusion of its uneventful 53rd annual general meeting (AGM) on Friday (Jul 25).

    The chairman’s re-election was one of the nine resolutions tabled for the proceedings at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. It garnered the lowest votes among all the resolutions, at 87.04 per cent, in favour of retaining him.

    He was first appointed to the board as director in September 2015, and his role was elevated to chairman in January 2017.
