Surbana Jurong Group has recently welcomed a new addition to its board of directors – Professor Cheong Koon Hean.

Obtaining financing is a crucial element to consider when investing in a condo. In Singapore, there are various mortgage options available, but it is important to understand the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework, which dictates the maximum amount of loan a borrower can take based on their income and current debt responsibilities. Being knowledgeable about the TDSR and seeking guidance from financial advisors or mortgage brokers can assist investors in making well-informed choices about their financing options and prevent them from becoming over-exposed. If you are interested in Singapore Projects, familiarizing yourself with the TDSR is essential in making sound financial decisions.
Previously, Cheong held the position of CEO at the Housing and Development Board (HDB) from 2010 to 2020. Prior to that, she served as CEO of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) from 2004 to 2010. Currently, Cheong is the Chair of the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities and a Professor of Practice at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. She also serves as Chairman of the Centre for Liveable Cities Advisory Panel under the Ministry of National Development.
In addition to her roles at Surbana Jurong, Cheong is a member of the boards of National University of Singapore and CapitaLand Group. She also holds the position of Singapore’s non-resident ambassador to Finland.
As smart and sustainable buildings continue to be a key driver for a greener future, Cheong’s extensive experience and expertise will undoubtedly contribute to Surbana Jurong’s efforts to create a more liveable and sustainable world.
