KUALA LUMPUR: Former Malaysia Airlines managing director and chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya and former Economic Planning Unit (EPU) director-general Raja Datuk Zaharaton Raja Zainal Abidin have joined Taliworks Corp Bhd
as independent, non-executive directors.
Taliworks is involved in a range of activities, including water and waste-related businesses. Among others, it holds the operation and maintenance contract for Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Works Phase 1 that supplies to large parts of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
Its executive director Lim Yew Boon said in a statement that Ahmad Jauhari and Raja Zaharaton “are both extremely qualified and will bring added value to the group, allowing us to maximise our effectiveness in the infrastructure sectors that Taliworks is currently involved in and pursuing.”
