The Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) high-profile director of service quality Sulian Tan-Wijaya is leaving the statutory board.

She will be joining Hong Kong-based property developer Sino Land as its general manager to develop a new precinct in the Fullerton area.

The new development will cover the Boathouse, Fullerton Hotel, One Fullerton, Clifford Pier, a new waterfront boutique hotel and the old Customs House.

At the STB, Ms Tan-Wijaya also held a stint as director of tourism shopping and is a familiar figure on the local social circuit.

Ms Tan-Wijaya told TODAY: “I was enticed by the opportunity to work with this beautiful waterfront development, which is a unique blend of colonial heritage charm and cuttingedge modern architecture.”

Ms Tan-Wijaya will start her new job on Sept 6. When contacted, the STB declined to comment on who would be replacing Ms Tan-Wijaya at the statutory board.
