Singapore will be seconding a senior official to spearhead the physical planning and development of the 30-square kilometre Tianjin Eco-City in China. 

 

In a statement on Thursday, Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development Co (SSTEC) said Mr Kok Poh June will join the company as deputy CEO in charge of Physical Planning and Development with effect from April 1. 

 

Mr Kok, an architect by training, was previously director (Biomedical Sciences, Cleantech, Media, Infocomms, and Electronics clusters) at JTC Corporation. 

 

In that role, he spearheaded the development of one-north -- a 200-hectare project in Singapore that combines educational institutes, residences and recreational amenities with research facilities and business park space. 

 

Mr Kok replaces Ms Tang Wai Yee, who was also seconded from JTC to SSTEC. 

 

Ms Tang concludes her secondment on March 31 and will return to Singapore. 

 

The Tianjin Eco-City is a landmark bilateral project between China and Singapore that involves both the government and private sector. 

 

Located in the Tianjin Binhai New Area, about 45 kilometres away from the Tianjin city centre, Tianjin Eco-City aims to provide a harmonious and sustainable community that meets the needs of an urbanising China.
