Journalist, The Business Times
Chong Xin Wei is a journalist at The Business Times in Singapore, the country's flagship financial and business newspaper, where her reporting tracks the deals, properties, and corporate decisions moving Singapore's economy. Her byline covers commercial real estate, foreign investment flows into the city-state, and the kind of granular property and capital-markets stories that BT's subscriber base relies on, including coverage of major leases, asset sales, and how international governments and institutional players use Singapore as a regional base. Before her current newsroom role, Chong Xin Wei completed a six-month stint that she has described publicly as a stepping stone into Business Times' daily coverage, and her reporting has been cited by industry players including Knight Frank Singapore. Her work appears in print and on businesstimes.com.sg, and her stories regularly inform the morning conversations of the bankers, fund managers, and developers tracking Singapore's commercial property cycle.
Chong Xin Wei has been covering the state and future of Singapore’s Orchard Road, exploring its challenges with vibrancy, luxury retail competition, and potential for redevelopment with more offices, homes, and green spaces.
