Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore's (MPA) Quah Ley Hoon will officially step down from her post as Chief Executive on 5 September, more than three years after she assumed the position.

In 2022, Quah was also awarded the Medal of Commendation by NTUC and Legion d’Honneur by the French Government.
