Billionaire Robert Ng's Eldest Son, Daryl, Taking The Helm At Hong Kong's Sino Group
The 47-year old scion of the group's founding family will become chairman of the group's Sino Land, Tsim Sha Tsui Properties and Sino Hotels from August 31, the three companies said in separate filings to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on Friday.
Robert Ng, 72, who took over from his father and group founder—the late Ng Teng Fong—in 1991, is retiring from his positions at the Sino Group companies after building the group's footprint across the Asia Pacific in the past four decades.
'The board would like to express its sincere gratitude to Robert Ng for his contributions to the company over the past 44 years of service and his leadership in building a solid foundation for the company's sustainable growth and development,' Sino Land said in its exchange filing.
The late Ng Teng Fong moved from China to Singapore in 1934, built a fortune in real estate and came to be known as "The King of Orchard Road" for developing some of the oldest shopping malls in the area. Robert's younger brother, Philip, also a billionaire, oversees the family's Far East Organization, one of the Lion City's largest private landlords and property developers.
With a real-time net worth of $14.8 billion, the Ng family is among the richest in the city-state. Besides their vast interests in real estate—which includes the iconic Fullerton hotels in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney—the family also holds a controlling stake in Singapore-listed food and beverage company Yeo Hiap Seng.

Keppel's (SGX:BN4) Shareholders May Want To Dig Deeper Than Statutory Profit
Explore Keppel's Fair Values from the Community and select yours The recent earnings posted by Keppel Ltd. (SGX:BN4) were solid, but the stock didn't move as much as we expected. We think this is due to investors looking beyond the statutory profits and being concerned with what they see. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit? For anyone who wants to understand Keppel's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from S$431m worth of unusual items. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Keppel had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to June 2025. All else being equal, this would likely have the effect of making the statutory profit a poor guide to underlying earnings power. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On Keppel's Profit Performance As we discussed above, we think the significant positive unusual item makes Keppel's earnings a poor guide to its underlying profitability. For this reason, we think that Keppel's statutory profits may be a bad guide to its underlying earnings power, and might give investors an overly positive impression of the company. But at least holders can take some solace from the 19% EPS growth in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Keppel at this point in time. Our analysis shows 3 warning signs for Keppel (1 is a bit unpleasant!) and we strongly recommend you look at these before investing. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of Keppel's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business. While it might take a little research on your behalf, you may find this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with significant insider holdings to be useful.
