Yam Ah Mee

Chief Executive Officer
People's Association

Yam Ah Mee has been Chief Executive of the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) since 2005. The role of the Land Transport Authority is to spearhead land transport developments in Singapore. As Chief of the LTA, Yam has led major initiatives to promote public transport, optimise road use and expand community engagement programmes across Singapore. All these initiatives have helped Singapore to secure its position as one of the world's leading urban centres.

With proven success and experience to his name, it's no surprise then that
Yam was one of the driving forces behind the LTA's Land Transport Master Plan, published in 2008 as the blueprint for Singapore's land transport development initiatives in the next 10-15 years. Having studied at Harvard University, Yam has had an illustrious career both in the Singapore Armed Forces and in the civil service. For his exceptional leadership, Yam was honoured in 2008 with the prestigious Public Administration (Gold) Medal, a top National Day Award.
