Singapore Post’s (SingPost) local operations chief executive Shahrin Abdol Salam has resigned.
Shahrin left the national postal service provider “to pursue opportunities outside the company,” said SingPost.
In a statement, Shahrin said he decided to step away from the role “to focus on a new chapter” in his career.
A transition timeline is being worked out with Neo Su Yin, Singpost’s group COO.
Neo, who assumed the group COO role in January, will take on additional responsibility as SingPost Singapore CEO following Shahrin’s departure.
“Su Yin is familiar with the Singapore business unit having run the business from November 2021 till May 2024,” the company said. “We thank Shahrin for his contribution to SingPost during his time and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
Shahrin was appointed CEO of SingPost’s local operations in May 2024. During his term, he led the development and growth of the Singapore business as well as the integration of postal and ecommerce logistics solutions for sustainable long-term growth.
He has over 25 years of experience in operations management strategic planning, asset management, business development, engineering, and customer service.
Before joining SingPost, Shahrin held senior leadership roles in the transport sector. He was managing director of SMRT’s Thomson-East Coast Line and senior vice-president of strategic relations at SMRT.
Shahrin also played a key role in “driving the anchor network” of MRT lines in Singapore and contributed to developing the Rapid Transit System, which will increase connectivity between Singapore and Malaysia.
He graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Masters of Science in Management of Technology. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from RMIT University in Australia.
Parcelgate
Shahrin’s resignation comes months after SingPost fired three of its senior executives after they were found to be negligent in the handling of internal investigations over a whistleblower’s report that it received earlier in 2024.
The executives are the former group CEO Vincent Phang, group CFO Vincent Yik, and CEO of the company’s international business unit Li Yu.
