According to filings with Bursa Malaysia, Caely has announced the retraction of Datuk Jovian Mandagie and Sandraruben Neelamagham appointment as directors of the company.

"The appointment of director was not put into effect due to miscommunication," it said.

Jovian has come forward to set the record straight on his purported appointment as executive vice-chairman of Caely, denying that he has taken up the post.

He said the company’s announcement had tarnished his "corporate, business and personal reputation."
