Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh - President and CEO of Sime Darby Bhd

Mohd Bakke may have kept out of the limelight for most of last year, but things could change this year if Sime Darby Bhd embarks on what many are speculating – unlocking its hidden value.

It is said that Bakke and his team have been weighing the best option to extract value for shareholders, among which may include a merger of its Indonesian plantation arm or the listing of its property division for starters.
