Temus Accelerates Growth with Strategic Partnerships and Executive Appointments to Power Singapore’s Smart Nation in the AI Era
“As Singapore advances toward Smart Nation 2.0, Temus is proud be partners on this journey, by bringing together public scale, private innovation, strategic partners, and talent to we deliver human-centric AI and digital transformation for lasting societal and economic impact” said Ng Lai Yee, Chief Executive Officer, Temus.
Lai Yee adds, “Temus is entering its next phase of growth with our clients to harness the full potential of Singapore’s AI era – and this is only the beginning.”
Resaro partnership to build and deploy trustworthy AI at scale
Temus and Resaro, both signatories of Singapore’s AI Verify Foundation, have signalled their intent in supporting the responsible adoption of trusted, enterprise-grade AI.
AI adoption is projected to deliver up to S$198.3 billion in economic benefits by 2030 in Singapore, but scaling from pilots to enterprise-grade systems will require stronger guardrails – ranging from MAS’ FEAT principles to the adoption of AI Verify as a national framework.
In this partnership, Temus will continue to deliver its strategic advisory capabilities in designing AI governance frameworks and orchestrating AI for business outcomes, while Resaro will serve as an independent, third-party AI assurance provider in evaluating AI solutions. Resaro’s platform automates and scales the evaluation of AI solutions against AI quality indicators that bridge business, governance and technical considerations, embedding assurance into the development lifecycle.
Sutowo Wong, Managing Director, AI & Data, Temus, said: “This isn’t about auditing AI after the fact; it’s about building trust into the very fabric of the AI development lifecycle. Our partnership with Resaro operationalises governance, providing a clear, automated path for our clients to move from pilot projects to production-ready systems with confidence. We are providing the essential toolkit for Singapore’s next wave of AI-powered transformation.”
April Chin, Co-CEO, Resaro, added: “Singapore is leading the world in responsible AI development, through initiatives such as AI Verify. As a premier member of the AI Verify Foundation and an independent AI assurance provider, our role is to ensure that AI solutions meet the highest standards of performance, safety, and security. This partnership with Temus bridges technical testing and evaluation with governance requirements and business adoption of AI.”
Peak3 partnership to accelerate AI-driven insurance innovation
Temus and Peak3 announced a commitment to work together in positioning the insurance sector as a potential growth frontier for AI acceleration. Peak3’s cloud-native platform currently supports over 2 billion policies and serves 50+ insurance partners globally, including leading names such as AIA, Prudential, Zurich and Income Insurance. Its core capabilities span policy administration, claims processing, and distribution enablement, providing a resilient backbone for insurers across multiple markets. With AI layered onto this foundation, the potential multiplier effect is significant.
Insurance is increasingly seen as a sector where digital adoption has lagged customer expectations, creating inefficiencies in operations and gaps in product relevance. Analysts predict that the global generative AI in insurance market is projected to grow from about S$1.03 billion in 2022 to S$19.4 billion by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 34.4%, reflecting the scale of opportunity for digital transformation. In Singapore, the integration of Smart Nation services and public sector datasets could further accelerate this shift through embedded insurance models – making protection more seamless, personalised, and relevant to citizens and businesses. Through today’s memorandum of intent, Temus and Peak3 aim to help the industry capture this potential.
Samuel Chong said: “Temus’ partnership with Peak3, aims to empower more Singapore-based insurers to move beyond experimentation into enterprise-grade AI. By building on Peak3’s proven platform, we can apply AI to sharpen efficiency, unlock new business models, and deliver more tailored customer experiences. Insurance is a sector ripe for this next stage of growth.”
Bill Song, Chief Executive Officer, Peak3, added: “With billions of policies managed on our platform and partnerships with leading insurers worldwide, Peak3 is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of AI-powered insurance transformation. Through our partnership with Temus, we will combine proven capabilities and advanced AI to enable more insurers to realize the full potential of embedding secure, context-aware protection into everyday life at scale, while unlocking new value across the insurance ecosystem.”
Temus deepens collaboration with IMDA TeSA and AI Verify Foundation
Temus has committed to expanding its relationship with IMDA to grow Singapore’s AI workforce, and the AI Verify Foundation (AIVF) in building trustworthy AI.
This expanded commitment reflects Temus’ deepening partnership with IMDA and reinforces its pivotal role in shaping Singapore’s AI landscape and digital transformation. The collaboration complements Temus’ existing partnership under the TechSkills Accelerator (TeSA) initiative, further cementing its contribution to Singapore’s digital future.
Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive, IMDA, said: “We are pleased to expand our collaboration with local industry leaders like Temus through TeSA and AIVF. These partnerships are critical in developing tech talent and accelerating the deployment of trusted AI solutions that businesses and consumers can use with confidence.”
Temus expands its leadership team and commits to nurturing homegrown AI talent
Temus has announced its commitment to growing its digital and AI workforce through a comprehensive approach to capability development, both within the firm and across Singapore’s broader talent pipeline.
Central to this effort is the newly launched “T-Shape Community”, an in-house program designed to build AI fluency across all roles – technical and non-technical alike – by equipping employees with generative AI tools and practical know-how.
Concurrently, Temus continues to build on the strong momentum of its Step IT Up programme, an accelerated “hire, place, and train” career conversion initiative. Since its launch in 2022, Step IT Up has enabled close to 80 individuals from non-IT backgrounds to secure full-time technology roles at Temus, underscoring the company’s commitment to growing the Singapore core.
“Singapore’s Smart Nation 2.0 ambitions will only be realised when AI fluency becomes second nature across our workforce,” said Wu Chun Wei, Managing Director and Head of Cloud, Application & Platform, Temus. “We’re developing T-shaped professionals who combine deep AI expertise with cross-functional skills. This breadth and depth is crucial as AI transformation requires talent who understand both the technology and business context. That’s how we’ll truly partner clients to deliver on vision to value.”
In addition, Temus announced new leadership appointments to strengthen its growth in the AI era. Refer to Annex A for full executive bios.
Sutowo Wong has joined Temus as Managing Director, AI & Data, bringing extensive experience from his previous role as Director of the Health Analytics Division at Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH). With more than 20 years in consulting and public service, Sutowo combines strategic vision, technical expertise, and implementation excellence to help organisations harness data and AI responsibly.
Vincent Tay has joined Temus as Managing Director and Head of Public Sector, with nearly three decades of experience in IT consulting and digital transformation across government and healthcare. Formerly a Partner at EY leading its Government and Public Sector practice, he has spearheaded regulatory reforms, citizen-facing platforms, and strategic studies that strengthened Singapore’s digital governance.
Samuel Chong was appointed Managing Director, Insurance, bringing to the firm more than 20 years of leadership experience spanning insurance, fintech, healthtech, and digital transformation across Asia Pacific region. Previously Vice President at eBaoTech International, he drove business strategy, market expansion, and digital insurance adoption across the region. Samuel has also held senior roles at Fullerton Health, Dell EMC, Cisco, Capgemini, and Accenture.

The Reality of the Raya Rush
The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.
XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.
“Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.
Comfort That Carries Through the Season
Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.
“We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”
Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.
Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned
Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.
The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

Specifically, in addition to the existing incentives currently available, customers who switch from old gasoline vehicles to new VinFast electric vehicles during the program period will receive an additional 3% discount for cars and 5% discount for scooters. The program will be applied across all four markets: Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
In line with VinFast’s pioneering spirit, GSM Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company has also announced an immediate 10% reduction in fares for electric mobility services on the Xanh SM platform in Vietnam and Green SM in Indonesia from March 11 to March 31, 2026. This initiative offers customers a more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective transportation option.
The program may be extended depending on international developments and future fuel price movements.
Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Sales, VinFast, stated: “The special ‘Trade Gas for Electric’ program launched in March across four key markets is VinFast’s timely response to geopolitical volatility that is affecting socio-economic conditions in many countries around the world. As one of the pioneering manufacturers leading the global electric vehicle revolution, VinFast together with companies in Vingroup’s green ecosystem aims to help reduce the impact of fuel prices on people’s daily lives while also lowering environmental pollution through smarter, more sustainable, and more cost-efficient mobility solutions.”
The special “Trade Gas for Electric” program will be implemented in parallel with and combined with other available incentive programs in each market. Through layered incentives, Vingroup and companies within its ecosystem aim to create favorable conditions for customers to transition quickly to electric vehicles, reduce dependence on gasoline, stabilize daily life, and contribute to building a cleaner and more civilized living environment.
