PETALING JAYA: PN-17 company Zelan Bhd
has appointed Mohd Ariff Abd Samat, 42, as its chief executive officer (CEO), after terminating the contract of its previous CEO, Hazimi Baharum, in June last year.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Zelan said Mohd Ariff was group chief operating officer at Sarawak Consolidated Industries Bhd until July 2023, prior to joining Zelan.
“Mohd Ariff has over 18 years in key positions of internal audit, accounts and reporting and business planning and budgeting in the oil and energy industry during his tenure with PETRONAS, UMW Corp Sdn Bhd, Boustead Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd and KPMG Malaysia.”
Zelan was categorised as a PN17 company in May last year after its external auditor Nexia SSY PLT expressed a disclaimer of opinion on its audited financial statements for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2022.
