Every generation needs its own breakthrough: Wee Hur&rsquo s 2nd-gen leader on building a lasting legacy
SINGAPORE &ndash Mr Goh Wee Ping is a second-generation member of the family-founded property developer and construction company Wee Hur Holdings.
Mr Goh, who will be 40 in 2026, wears two hats as the group&rsquo s chief investment officer and the chief executive of fund management arm Wee Hur Capital.
While his father and uncles, who are in their 70s, remain on the executive board overseeing the company&rsquo s overall strategy and direction, the family has begun planning for life without the founders.
They call the shots when they are around so a lot of things can be resolved, Mr Goh said. 
The real test &ndash how the second generation rallies together &ndash will come when they are not around.
&ldquo This will be quite far down the road. We have some time to prepare,&rdquo he added.
 
Business succession and wealth transfer
Mr Goh noted that among the second generation, there is a wide age range, with members as young as 25 and as old as 55. The family has held &ldquo a lot of internal discussions&rdquo about succession planning. &ldquo We are not quite there yet, but I would say soon,&rdquo he said.
Like the controlling Goh family, many of the wealthiest families in the Asia-Pacific region are pondering the issue of business succession and wealth transfer.
Mr Conrad Huber, UBS business head for India and non-resident Indians, Indonesia and Japan International, said many private bank clients have said their priority is to grow the family&rsquo s wealth and ensure a smooth transfer of that wealth to the next generation.
He added that in Asia, the family&rsquo s wealth remains closely tied to the family business. Hence, business succession and wealth transfer decisions typically go hand in hand.
Wee Hur is taking a slightly different stance. &ldquo There is never a cookie-cutter approach to succession planning on the business side and legacy and wealth planning on the ownership side,&rdquo Mr Goh said. &ldquo We need to separate ownership from running the business.&rdquo
The business can be run by anyone &ndash professionals and family members. &ldquo We do not need to train our next generation to take over the business.&rdquo But we do need to train them to be better shareholders of the business, he said. 
When there is infighting and no family member on the board to sign off on key decisions, this can end up paralysing the family business.
What could go wrong?
A report of a survey by HSBC Life of 100 high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) in Singapore released on March 30 found that 45 per cent of respondents have a formal legacy plan in place, 39 per cent are in the early stages of planning and gathering information, while 16 per cent have yet to begin.
HSBC Life defines a HNWI as one who has between US$2 million (S$2.6 million) and US$10 million in investable assets. 
Among the respondents, 37 per cent cited concerns about the potential for family disputes or conflicts that could undermine the family&rsquo s legacy.
Fifty per cent of respondents think the next generation may mismanage or squander the family&rsquo s wealth, and 29 per cent worry that their successors might be unprepared or incapable of managing the family&rsquo s wealth.
A whole new world
To be fair, the next generation likely grew up in an environment very different from that of their founder parents.
Ms Angela Koh, head of wealth planning and family office advisory services at UOB Private Bank, said most business owners built their wealth through grit and hard work. She added that it is not fair to expect the second generation to follow in their footsteps, as the business environment has changed and they now face different challenges.
Furthermore, the next generation might have an edge in this ever-changing business landscape. Ms Koh said they bring interesting skill sets and attitudes that could be really useful for the family. For example, they are generally more tech-savvy, more comfortable with social media and may have fresh perspectives or new ideas that the business can try out.
&ldquo Every generation needs to find its own breakthrough,&rdquo Mr Goh said.
&ldquo When my dad and uncles founded the business, it was very different from now,&rdquo he added. &ldquo We have to find something different so that we can continue to keep up with the times.&rdquo
The next generation will stick to Wee Hur&rsquo s core business and continue to innovate and do the business well. But it needs to look at the periphery, and at what other businesses it can get into, he said.
Shaping the family legacy together
Mr Huber said UBS&rsquo clients have increasingly begun involving their next generation in family and wealth planning decisions.
He added that regular discussions about expectations, roles and responsibilities are integral for a smooth wealth transition. 
Ms Koh from UOB Private Bank said it is important that the next generation is financially literate, knows how to budget and manage money, and has some knowledge about investments and the associated risks.   
She added that there should also be a focus on education in ethics and responsibility, so the next generation builds responsible wealth.
Passing on wealth through insurance
After building a legacy plan, the next step is to think about how to pass on that legacy.
Mr Benjamin Cheng, chief executive of Howden Private Wealth, said life insurance serves a useful purpose for wealth transfer.
For instance, there may be family members who are not interested in or lack the ability to manage the family business.
In this case, the business owner can bequeath an insurance policy and shares in the business to these family members, providing a cash payout and a minority stake in the firm upon the founder&rsquo s death.
As for the family member who can lead the company, the business owner can bequeath a majority stake in the business to him, Mr Cheng said.
He added that insurance provides the certainty of a payout, so if one purchases a $15 million insurance policy, that $15 million is certain at the time of death.
Mr Christopher Albrecht, chief executive at Sun Life Singapore, said a family trust can also buy a life insurance policy on the oldest-generation member. 
When the patriarch or matriarch dies, the insurance policy pays out to the trust. The family trust then buys a life insurance policy on a member of the next oldest generation, and the process goes on.
&ldquo The money is being generated by insurance payouts for every generation,&rdquo he said.
Mr Albrecht added that there are also key person insurance policies whereby the family business takes out a life insurance policy on the business owner. 
When they die, the policy pays cash to the business, which can use the money to repay any outstanding corporate debts.
Jumbo life insurance policies
The insurance route is gaining popularity among Asia&rsquo s wealthy, as witnessed by two jumbo policy issuances in recent years.
Manulife Singapore announced on Feb 24 that it had issued a life insurance policy worth $380 million on behalf of a single client, possibly the largest in Singapore and the region.
The sum assured surpassed that of a whole-of-life policy from HSBC Life in Hong Kong in February 2024, which has a payout of US$250 million for a single wealthy client.
Most analysts still said this counter no problem....construction projects can last many years ....
In 3 March 2026 Wee Hur delivered stellar FY25 numbers: Revenue up 47% to $295M, net profit +27% to $68M (adjusted +130% to $106M). Key drivers - construction boom, Bartley Vue project, Pioneer Lodge dorm (10.5K beds), Fund I exit cash windfall ($300M).
 
Stock Impact:
 
Trailing PE drops - Higher past-year earnings make shares look cheaper now.
 
Forward PE steady-ish - Strong $673M orderbook & new projects signal future profits, but dorm competition may temper expectations.
 
Why? More profit = bigger EPS denominator in PE ratio (Price/EPS). Cash pile $251M + MTN funds growth without dilution. Solid buy for construction/property play.

What got oil price got to do with Wee Hur ? .....Maybe wealth funds switched here Wee Hur can earn something lah...
Recent pledges by Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands to support securing the Strait of Hormuz have eased tensions, contributing to a decline in Brent and WTI oil prices after recent all-time highs amid Iran-related disruptions.
Pledges Confirmation
These nations issued a joint statement condemning Iran' s attacks on shipping and infrastructure, pledging readiness to ensure safe passage through the Strait, which handles 20% of global oil trade. This follows initial hesitance and aligns with US pressure under President Trump.
Oil Price Trends
Brent crude recently hit highs above $110/bbl but slid to around $100-108/bbl as some ships transited the Strait, with WTI falling to $93-97/bbl range. Further normalization could accelerate declines if traffic fully resumes.

Worse performing stock in SGX 2026.

0.735 to 0.75, price stabilised and interest and support coming back 
The business presentation is it good yesterday , any no good thing to announce ? Prices dropped due to war sentiment?
US-Israel Strikes on Iran: Market Uncertainty and SGX Outlook
The joint US-Israeli pre-emptive strikes on Iran&mdash codenamed " Operation Roar of the Lion" &mdash have plunged global markets into uncertainty, as Netanyahu' s existential threat narrative and Trump' s " major combat operations" confirmation signal a multi-day campaign targeting nuclear sites from Tehran to Isfahan and Karaj.
Iran' s calibrated missile retaliation on Al Udeid base underscores the risks: proxy swarms (70% likely, oil +8-15% to US$85-95), Hormuz harassment (20%, Brent US$100-120), or critical closures (10%, US$130+ and equities -5-10%). This cascade prompts risk-off liquidation of cyclicals (initial energy pops like Rex Intl/RH PetroGas fading on blockade fears ST Engineering capex worries), driving flows into safe havens amid live Tehran explosions and vowed " crushing" responses.
SGX Monday Impact: STI gap-down -0.5-1.5% (worse than 2025' s -0.8% flares), with energy decoupling +8-15% (Rex, Sembcorp leads), defence/offshore +4-8% (ST Eng, Seatrium), banks -0.5 to +1% (UOB/DBS yield appeal, beta ~0.7), REITs/neutrals flat to +1% (Mapletree, Wee Hur infra resilience). Gold/silver gaps up 2-4% overweight defensives for post-de-escalation rebound, hedge energy calls if Hormuz escalates

I asked Perplexity AI :Any reasons to hold for Wee Hur(E3B) to cross the S$1.00 mark like CSE, Nam Cheong, Centurions? 2) Analyse and weigh the Pros and Cons? Answer:  Yes, Wee Hur (E3B.SI) has credible paths to cross S$1.00 (from current ~S$0.775, +29% upside), mirroring past rallies in peers like CSE Global (544.SI, peaked S$1.50+ on orders), Nam Cheong (1MZ.SI, volatile post-consolidation), and Centurion (BUOU.SI, dorm/student accom steady climb). One broker targets S$1.00 (Hold, sum-of-parts on dorms/property/funds) others S$0.90-0.95 (FY26E P/E 13x), with 22% 3-mo potential to S$0.87+.
 
Net Weighing: Pros outweigh (60/40 hold case for S$1+ in 6-12mo) if dorm ramp + orders deliver peers like Centurion show accom stocks grind higher. But cap gains at S$0.90-0.95 without surprises. P/E expansion needs volume.
 
Reasons to Hold for S$1+
-
Pipeline Momentum: S$935M orderbook to FY2029 (construction/property self-feed), Pioneer Lodge ramp-up (67%&rarr 95% occ), Australia launches (Cryna 2,000+ lots, PBSA). -
Recurring Cash: Dorms/investment properties (95% occ), PBSA funds (II/III scaling), div yield ~2% (1.5¢ FY25). -
Valuation Gap: Trades FY26E P/E ~8-10x vs peers 12-15x NAV supportive at S$1.00+ TP. -
Peer Precedent: CSE/Nam Cheong rallied 50%+ on orders Centurion dorm tailwinds similar to Wee Hur PBWA/PBSA. -
Catalysts: Mon post-results pop, broker upgrades, Upper Thomson launch H1 2027.
Pros vs Cons
| Pros (Bull Case to S$1+) | Cons (Risks Capping Below S$1) |
|---|---|
| Strong FY25 beat (+130% adj NP), cash S$251M funds growth  | Dorm fair value losses (S$49M lease decay), property cyclical  |
| Dorm/property demand (Singapore worker housing boom)  | Low liquidity/small-cap volatility (easy 10% swings)  |
| Multi-asset (constr+funds) lowers risk vs pure plays  | Limited coverage PTs cluster S$0.90, no S$1.20+  |
| Yield + growth (FY26 rev +30% est)  | Economic slowdown hits projects/occupancy  |
| Historical rallies (doubled 2025 on dorms)  | Debt via MTN S$205M issued  |
 
 
Net Weighing: Pros outweigh (60/40 hold case for S$1+ in 6-12mo) if dorm ramp + orders deliver peers like Centurion show accom stocks grind higher. But cap gains at S$0.90-0.95 without surprises. P/E expansion needs volume.

A post-announcement rally for Wee Hur (E3B.SI) similar to Seatrium' s (5E2.SI) is plausible short-term (Mon 2 Mar gap-up 5-10%), but less likely to match Seatrium' s scale or duration due to differences in size, sector hype, and liquidity. Seatrium jumped ~3-5% post-FY2025 (profit doubled to S$324M+), sustained by oil/gas boom Wee Hur' s +27% profit beat supports bounce from S$0.775, with PTs S$0.90-0.99 (16-28% upside).
Key Comparison
| Aspect | Wee Hur (E3B) | Seatrium (5E2) | Rally Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market Cap/Liquidity | Small-cap (~S$73M), low volume | Large-cap (S$7B+), high volume | Wee Hur volatile easier pop but fades fast  |
| Earnings Beat | +27% NP (S$68M), adj +130% | Profit doubled (+106%), margins up | Both strong Wee Hur sets stage for 5-15%  |
| Catalysts | Orderbook S$935M, div 1.5¢ , property/dorms | Energy backlog, asset sales | Wee Hur solid but no " hot" theme like oil  |
| Recent Action | -13% dip to 0.775 pre-ann | Stable pre-earnings, +3-5% post | Wee Hur rebound potential higher  |
| Analyst PT/Upside | S$0.90-0.99 (16-28%) | S$2.40-4.10 (higher multiples) | Supportive for Wee Hur  |
| Forecast | +22% 3-mo (to S$0.87) | 16% EPS growth | Mild bullish  |
 
 
Expected Odds: 55-65% for Wee Hur 5-10% rally Mon-week1 (like Seatrium initial) 35-45% for sustained 20%+ (Seatrium-style), needing upgrades/volume. Risks: Small-cap profit-taking, market weakness.
