KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 2): IOI Properties Group Bhd (KL:IOIPG) has promoted Ho Kwok Wing as its chief operating officer for property development in Malaysia.

Ho, 61, is replacing Teh Chin Guan who will retire effective Dec 1. In his new role, Ho will oversee the strategic growth and operations of the company’s property development portfolio in Malaysia, IOI Properties said in an exchange filing.

“In this expanded role, he will lead the strategic growth, operational excellence, and long-term value creation of the IOI Properties Group's property development portfolio in Malaysia,” the company said.

Armed with more than three decades of experience in engineering, construction and property, Ho is currently the company’s director of property development for the central region, a position he has held since July 2025.

He joined IOI Properties in July 2012 as general manager and was promoted to senior general manager in 2018.

Since then, he has overseen several major developments, including IOI City Mall Phases 1 and 2, IOI City Towers and Le Méridien Putrajaya. He has also spearheaded the planning of projects including IOI City Mall Phase 3, a 70-storey tower and The Ritz-Carlton Putrajaya.

Teh, who has been in the role since 2014, will continue as an adviser to the chief executive officer following his retirement, the company added.

IOI Properties, which also has projects in Singapore and China, is ramping up development in Malaysia, including the massive 100-acre IOI Rio City township.

At an estimated gross development value of RM12 billion, the project in Bandar Puteri Puchong will also feature a hotel and a shopping mall.
