The transportation industry is a demanding, complex, and highly regulated business where suitable leadership candidates may not be readily available. Hence, for succession, the appointment of an appropriate CEO and Chairman is naturally challenging.

She asked if the Minister for Transport would share the broad criteria for the Chairman and CEO for designated entities, such as nationality, professional background, experience, and track record in the relevant transport industry.
