Effective January 26, 2026, Mr. Chew Men Leong, former Chief of Navy of the Republic of Singapore Navy and a veteran leader in infrastructure and global business, was elected to serve as a director of High-Trend International Group (the “Company” or “Registrant”).

As the former Chief of Navy of the Republic of Singapore Navy, Mr. Chew played a central role in the development and implementation of Singapore’s next-generation navy strategy.

As the founding President of ST Engineering’s Urban Solutions business, he led a global portfolio spanning more than 150 cities, achieving annual revenue exceeding 1.6 billion SGD and an order book of over 6 billion SGD. Mr. Chew previously served as Chief Executive of the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Public Utilities Board (PUB) of Singapore, overseeing the nation’s critical land transport and water infrastructure.

Mr. Chew holds a first-class honors degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London and a Master of Science in Management (Sloan Program) from Stanford University. He has also completed the Advanced Management Program at the Wharton School of Business. He has served on the boards and councils of leading organizations including Jurong Port, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
