Board members

NParks is overseen by a Board, comprising 10 members currently. The current Chairman is Mrs Christina Ong. All are non-executive members, except for Mr Ng Lang who is the Chief Executive of NParks. The Board derives its strength from the extensive and complementary background, qualifications and experience of its members.

The Board’s key responsibilities are to:

• Endorse broad directions, policies and strategies relating to NParks’ achievement of its vision, mission and objectives, and performance of its functions.
• Oversee NParks' operating and financial performance taking into account NParks’ budget, expenditure, assets, transactions and projects.
• Provide input and guidance on matters relating to NParks’ parks and infrastructure development programmes and establishment.
• Approve NParks’ tenders (as members of the relevant Tenders Boards).

The Board has established three committees – the Establishment Committee, the Audit Committee and the Garden City Fund Management Committee – to assist it in carrying out its duties.

The Establishment Committee’s role is to review key personnel policies and operational plans. The Audit Committee ensures that accounting policies and internal controls are in place. The Committee reviews the audited financial statements of the Board, the audit results and their evaluation of the adequacy of internal controls. The Garden City Fund Management Committee plans, develops, promotes and manages the Garden City Fund in accordance to its Trust Deed.
