The Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI) has announced the election of Low Peck Kem as its new President, following its 59th Annual General Meeting on 28 March 2025. Low, who previously served as SHRI’s President and is a long-time Council Member, will guide the institute as it celebrates its 60th anniversary. Her appointment is expected to enhance collaboration with government bodies and foster global partnerships.
Low Peck Kem, also the Chief Human Resource Officer at the Public Service Division and Vice President of the World Federation of People Management Associations, expressed her enthusiasm for the role. “It is an honour to return as President of SHRI as it celebrates its 60th anniversary,” she stated, emphasising SHRI’s role in promoting people-first practices.
The institute also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing President D N Prasad, who led SHRI for three years. Under his leadership, SHRI hosted significant events like the World HR Congress and launched initiatives such as the Fill A Bag, Fill A Tummy CSR event.
In a related development, Alvin Aloysius Goh has been redesignated as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from his previous role as Executive Director. This change aligns with SHRI’s vision to expand its influence beyond Singapore. Goh will focus on strategic partnerships and enhancing SHRI’s regional presence.
These leadership changes signify a pivotal moment for SHRI as it continues to inspire and innovate within the HR community.
