SINGAPORE, April 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- M2B
World Asia Pacific Pte Ltd has announced on 3rd April 2010 the
appointment of Mr. Percy Chua Soo Lian as new Managing Director
& CEO. He has been a Business Advisor to M2B in 2008 and
then as Director of M2B World since April 2009. M2B World Asia
Pacific, a subsidiary of US-Based Amaru Inc (AMRU), is Asia's
leading broadband entertainment provider.
Mr Chua is an architect and has spent much of
his professional life doing Architectural and Town Planning
projects in Asia Pacific. He was educated in Singapore and did his
Masters in Architecture in Canada.
He is no stranger to the media, IT and
telecommunications industry, having been consultant to a Canadian
Internet Security company in 1999 and consultant to a Korean telco
for the Philippines Telefono Sa Barangay tender in 1998.
Speaking of the new appointment, Mr Chua was
upbeat, "I think we are standing in exciting times where we see the
merging of the regular Broadcasters, the Internet and the mobile 3G
Network. M2B with its complete set of IT infrastructure is able to
respond swiftly to changing media platforms and new
technologies."
Singapore is an effective launch pad for
Western Media companies wanting to penetrate Asia. Already, on 5th
April 2010, M2B World, has entered into a joint venture with
i-concerts SA, the only live concert channel with worldwide rights.
Based in Geneva, i-concerts SA has plans to co-develop the Asian
market with M2B World. The venture has the support of Media
Development Authority of Singapore. The Singapore plan will be
launched under M2B's WOWtv new player in mid May 2010.
M2B's business will be developed with a
threefold strategy; developing online strategic partnerships with
international specialist channels, creating a virtual library of
M2B's wide variety of contents, and distribution of contents to
regional telcos. Mr. Chua is expecting to lead M2B's media thrust
into these SE Asian markets, including the blossoming broadband and
mobile market in greater China.
