New twist in ex-PNB chief’s appointment drama

Sources, however, says Tan Sri Samsudin Osman (pic), who was made interim acting chairman of Sime Darby Bhd recently, was tipped to replace Zeti should a decision on the position of chairman at PNB be made. Zeti’s contract is to expire soon.

The drama surrounding the appointment of former Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) president and group CEO Jalil Rasheed took a fresh twist with the Securities Commission (SC) on Thursday demanding answers even after Jalil resigned from his post on Tuesday.

The SC in a strongly-worded statement said it found discrepancies in the submission relating to the academic and working credentials of Jalil.
