Eastern & Oriental Bhd
Dato' Seri Tham Ka Hon, a Malaysian, male, aged 67, is the Executive Deputy Chairman of Eastern & Oriental Berhad. He previously held the position of Managing Director of the E&O Group from 16 May 1994 until 30 June 2016. Prior to that, he served as Executive Director at Land & General Group from 1988 to 1994 where he was in-charge of the property division.
Dato' Seri Tham's earlier innovative property projects include 202 Desa Cahaya, Kampung Warisan and Sri Se-Ekar in Kuala Lumpur. In 1994, he acquired Jack Chia Enterprise Berhad which owned the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang, recognising the potential brand value such an iconic heritage landmark could be built upon. He undertook the restoration and refurbishment of the historic 135-year old Hotel, from which the E&O Group proudly takes its name.
Leveraging on luxury hospitality, Dato' Seri Tham further extended E&O's expertise in developing premier properties in prime areas, cultivating the E&O marque with Dua Residency, Idamansara and Seventy Damansara in the capital city. In Penang, Dato' Seri Tham led E&O to assume the rights and obligations for the 980-acre reclamation concession off Tanjung Tokong in 2003, creating the island's first seafront masterplanned development, Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP). With STP Phase 1 successfully reaching development maturity, the focus is to realise the reclamation and development of STP Phase 2. Dato' Seri Tham took the E&O brand abroad by identifying prime sites in Central London with redevelopment and development potential for residential and commercial properties.
