As FGV showdown looms, CEO lays down ultimatum – it’s either him or Isa


KUALA LUMPUR: A showdown looms at Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) with its group president and CEO Datuk Zakaria Arshad asking shareholders whether he or chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad should leave one of the world’s largest listed plantation companies.

“Under the circumstances, I cannot go on working in FGV. Shareholders have to decide .. either he (Isa) goes or I go,” he told StarBiz in a no-holds-barred interview just a few hours after receiving a letter telling him to go on leave pending an investigation related to a subsidiary company of FGV.
