Two third-generation members of the Yeoh family have taken up alternate executive director roles at the trust, extending a board overhaul across the YTL group. The changes were reported on Oct 23.
Who Are the Two Yeoh Alternate Directors at YTL Hospitality REIT?
Yeoh Keong Shyan, 40, has been redesignated as alternate executive director to his father, Tan Sri Francis Yeoh Sock Ping. The elder Yeoh is executive chairman of Pintar Projek Sdn Bhd, the manager of YTL Hospitality REIT.
Keong Shyan previously served as alternate director to his aunt, Datuk Yeoh Soo Min, an executive director of Pintar Projek.
Yeoh Pei Xien, 25, has been appointed alternate executive director to Soo Min. She is the daughter of Pintar Projek chief executive officer Datuk Yeoh Seok Kah.
Pei Xien also serves as alternate executive director at YTL Corporation Bhd (KL:YTL) and YTL Power International Bhd (KL:YTLPOWR).

The latest changes follow a September round involving 12 third-generation members across three group-listed companies. Those earlier appointments covered YTL Corp, YTL Power and Malayan Cement Bhd (KL:MCEMENT).
- Most of the younger members are aged between 25 and 41.
- Most took alternate director posts to their parents.
- All 12 are grandchildren of the late YTL group founder Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay and Puan Sri Tan Kai Yong.
- All seven branches of the second generation are represented.
The pattern is fuelling speculation that the moves are part of preparations for leadership succession.
