Internal candidates to head PNB

SPECULATION is rife that the recent internal restructuring at Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) in the last week of December suggests there is unlikely to be any outsiders to take over the chairmanship of Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid.

Sarji, who is speculated to retire, has been the chairman of PNB, Malaysia’s largest fund management company that manages total funds over RM255bil, for the past 19 years.
