ASK the president & group chief executive officer of CapitaLand what makes the group uniquely Singapore and he cuts to the heart of it. It is the embodiment of the spirit of excellence, says Lim Ming Yan. Which might explain why he is challenging the real estate company, already one of the largest in Asia, to even greater heights.
The next frontier for the conglomerate, which already has a significant asset base as well as design, development and management capabilities across integrated developments, malls, serviced residences, offices and homes, lies in technology.
"It is important for us to leverage technology to enhance our real estate," says Mr Lim. "It is real estate plus technology moving forward, that's how we are going to have to operate."
