Outgoing chairman who transformed SBF

Singapore

"NO matter what we have done, we can always do more", Tony Chew says, when asked to reflect on what he has achieved during his six years as chairman of Singapore's apex business chamber, the Singapore Business Federation (SBF).

The prominent businessman - who is, among several things, executive chairman of Asia Resource Corporation and an independent director at Keppel Corporation - stepped down yesterday, after three consecutive terms. He has been with the federation for all of its 12 years, the first six as a council member and the rest as its chairman.
