Philip Jeyaretnam, a lawyer and writer, will take over as the Chairman of the Board for School of the Arts (SOTA) next year in January. He is to replace Mr Lee Tzu Yang, who is replacing Theresa Foo as the Chairman of the Esplanade, reported Today newspaper. The appointments were announced this Friday by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) in a statement.

“I would like to thank Theresa for her immense contributions in shaping the Esplanade into the arts centre that it is today – a true cultural and national icon,” Minister of Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong said in a statement, according to Business Times. “I also welcome Tzu Yang and Philip on board as they assume their respective chairmanships of the Esplanade and Sota. I am confident that Tzu Yang will continue to leave his mark on our arts landscape in his new role at the Esplanade.”

“Philip’s vast experience in various leading cultural initiatives will put him in a good position to lead the Board in charting SOTA’s next stage of development. I look forward to the Esplanade’s and SOTA’s continued contributions towards making Singapore a leading city for the arts,” said Mr Lawrence Wong further added.
