Swiber group founder resigns ‘due to health reasons’

Raymond Kim Goh has resigned from his position as Vallianz Holdings’ chairman and executive director with immediate effect due to “heath reasons”.

Forty-eight-year-old Goh is also executive chairman of Swiber Holdings, which he founded in 1996, and is non-executive chairman of Kreuz Holdings.

Today, Goh submitted a request for trading of Swiber’s shares to be halted on the Singapore stock exchange, “pending the release of an announcement” – likely to be the news of his departure.

Goh was CEO of Swiber Holdings until September 2010 and remains responsible for the group’s expansion strategy.

He is also a member of Vallianz’s member of audit, remuneration and nominating committees. Vallianz is 25.2% owned by Swiber Holdings.

Goh holds a 0.64% stake in Vallianz through a family trust, and a 0.85% stake in Swiber.
