Straits Energy Resources appoints Sunny Ho to spearhead Straits Commnet Solutions


KUALA LUMPUR: Straits Energy Resources Bhd has appointed telecommunications specialist Sunny Ho Khin Choy to lead its indirect subsidiary Straits CommNet Solutions Sdn Bhd effective today.

The ACE Market-listed oil bunkering company said Ho, who has led various key sections in Digital Nasional Bhd, Axiata’s Edotco, Nokia Malaysia and Ascom, among others, would spearhead Straits Energy Resources’ push into the 5G-driven digital space and internet of things (IoT) transformation of the regional oil and gas (O&G) industry.

"Ho will drive Straits CommNet Solutions to explore the vast wireless network communication and infrastructure business opportunities in the 4G and 5G rollout of Malaysia and regionally, further expanding the company’s business exposure and revenue stream,” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

It said Ho appointment came in less than three months after Straits Energy Resources joined hands with Texas-based Baicells Technologies Co Ltd, which provided innovative 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G New Radio (NR) access solutions, in the company’s first collaboration initiative.

Meanwhile, the company said it has also appointed John Ho Soon Choy as the chief operating officer of Straits CommNet Solutions.

It said Ho held a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from the University of Louisiana, United States with over 32 years of experience in the information technology industry.

Straits Energy Resources managing director Datuk Seri Ron Ho Kam Choy said the appointments would immediately put the company on an accelerated path towards establishing its footprint in the 5G and the O&G IoT market.

"Following our collaboration with Baicells Technologies, we are in a better position to roll out our services and under the leadership of Sunny Ho, I am optimistic that we would be able to tap into the right opportunities and grow this new segment into an important revenue generator for the group,” he added. - Bernama
