Yeo's buying came just days after Wilmar's chairman and CEO Kuok Khoon Hong added to his stake as well.
George Yeo, an independent director of Wilmar International (SGX:F34
) , has paid $545,385, or $3.09 each, for another 176,500 shares. This brings his stake to 776,500 shares.
Yeo, who was Singapore's foreign minister, joined Wilmar's board last April.
