7-Eleven Malaysia CEO resigns

25 years and still here- This 7-11 was a favourite meeting spot during our student days for the Big Gulp, which was equivalent to big glass drinks and Mister Softee, a soft ice-cream.

KUALA LUMPUR: 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd (SEM) has appointed Ho Meng as acting chief executive officer, effective Aug 1, replacing Gary Thomas Brown.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the largest convenience store chain said Brown, 58, had resigned for personal reasons.

Ho, currently SEM’s non-executive director, would be supported by deputy chief executive officer, Hishammudin Hasan.

“The board would like to thank Brown for his contributions to SEM and wish him success in all his future endeavours,” said the company in a separate statement.

On Bursa Malaysia, 7-Eleven closed one sen lower at RM1.38 on Monday, with 64,900 units changing hands. - Bernama
