FGV on mission to fix image as graft scandal cools

KUALA LUMPUR: As the dust settles on a graft probe and a public leadership tussle, the world’s biggest producer of crude palm oil is heading into 2018 with a plan to tackle its perception problem.

Datuk Zakaria Arshad, known as Zack, is back at the helm of Felda Global Ventures Bhd (FGV) after he was forced to take a four-month break during the turmoil that also saw the departure of chairman Tan Sri Isa Samad. Zakaria resumed duties on Oct 16 after being cleared of any wrongdoing.
