Pang Kin Keong, former permanent secretary for home affairs, will take over as chairman of the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) board from Oct 1, the national agency announced on Monday (Sept 28).
He takes over from Seah Chin Siong, who became NVPC’s board chairman in January 2021.
Pang, 60, recently took over as chairman of the Land Transport Authority board on Sept 1. He retired from administrative service on June 1, having spent 35 years in the public sector.
In its statement, NVPC said that Pang brings extensive leadership experience from his 35-year career, noting that he held senior appointments, including as permanent secretary in the home affairs, law and transport ministries.
He also led complex, multi-agency efforts in various areas, including chairing the Homefront Crisis Executive Group during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the onset of the Middle East conflict, which resulted in worldwide energy challenges.
“As chairman, Mr Pang will provide strategic leadership as NVPC continues to grow a culture of giving in Singapore and advance its vision of Singapore as a City of Good,” the agency said, adding that his appointment will help strengthen collaboration across sectors, create more pathways for people and organisations to contribute, and make diverse ways of giving more accessible and meaningful in daily life.
