THIS BURSARY AWARD IS ESTABLISHED IN HONOUR OF MR PAUL MA KAH WOH:
The naming of the bursary after Mr Paul Ma Kah Woh is to build a legacy that enables future generations of students to learn of Mr Ma’s stewardship and contributions to the real estate sector. Mr Ma served on the Board of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd for over a decade, and officially retired on 31 January 2022.

 

He was also a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, Executive Resource and Compensation Committee and Investment Committee prior to his retirement from the Board.

 

Mr Ma’s strategic guidance helped Mapletree grow from a Singapore-centric company in the year 2003, to a global company with total assets under management of more than S$78.7 billion (as at 31 March 2022). Most notably, he brought the first Mapletree REIT, Mapletree Logistics Trust, to IPO in 2005, as the Non-Executive Chairman of Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd.

 

Thereafter, in 2016, he had the unique distinction of also guiding Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust as the Non-Executive Chairman and Director of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd.
