Under his leadership, Singapore Pools also evolved its community engagement model, establishing flagship community hubs that foster meaningful partnerships with community and non-profit organisations, demonstrating Singapore Pools' commitment to community-building. Singapore Pools also revamped its board and sub-committee structure for better oversight over its risk, technology and organisational strategy.


Mrs Mildred Tan, Chairman of Tote Board, said, "On behalf of Tote Board, I would like to express my gratitude to Kai for his exemplary leadership of Singapore Pools over the past five years, including the unprecedented pandemic years. His commitment to responsible gaming and community impact has been invaluable to our shared mission of building a caring and resilient Singapore. Under Kai, Singapore Pools has innovated to become a digital forward company, deepening its operational capability and improving customer experience while not losing sight of its role as a socially responsible gaming company trusted by customers and valued by the community.


I also warmly welcome Oon Jin and look forward to building on this foundation together. With his wealth of experience, I am confident that he will guide Singapore Pools in its continued mission as a responsible operator that serves the greater good of our community."


Mr Kaikhushru said, “It has been a privilege to serve as Chairman of Singapore Pools Board over the past years. I would like to thank my fellow Board members and management team for their strong partnership and dedication. I am confident that under Mr Yeoh Oon Jin's leadership, Singapore Pools will continue to strengthen its role as a responsible and trusted operator."
