He is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) (United Kingdom). Mr. Wee previously served as Regional Audit Director for Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa at AstraZeneca PLC (United Kingdom). He is currently a Faculty Member and Fellow of the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) and a member of the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID).
