PETALING JAYA: PUC Founder (MSC) Bhd managing director (MD) Cheong Chia Chieh (pic) has died from a rare but fatal disease called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
The Ipoh-born Cheong, 44, the founder and MD of Resource Holding Management Ltd (RHM), an integrated marketing firm listed on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM), led the reverse takeover of PUC back in late 2013 via the injection of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the AIM-listed company that saw the subsequent listing of PUC on Bursa Malaysia’s Ace Market in early 2014.
