KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MHB) has appointed Wan Mashitah Wan Abdullah Sani, the current acting chief executive officer (CEO), as the new managing director and CEO with effect from Jan 1, 2017.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the MISC Bhd subsidiary said Wan Mashitah, 50, would cease to be its chief financial officer from the date.

She joined MISC Bhd in 2002 and served in various capacities there, with her last position there being general manager (finance).

She was appointed as MHB chief financial officer on June 30, 2010, and assumed the post of acting CEO on May 1 this year. This followed the April 30 resignation of former MD and CEO Datuk Abu Fitri Abdul Jalil, who had been called back into service at MHB's ultimate parent company, Petroliam Nasional Bhd.

Meanwhile, Hazrin Hatim, 44, has been made MHB's acting chief financial officer pending the appointment of a new chief financial officer.
