Datuk Indera Lim Keong Hui
KUALA LUMPUR: Genting Plantations Bhd
(GenP) has announced that Datuk Indera Lim Keong Hui will assume the role of chief executive effective March 1, transitioning from his position as deputy chief executive, which he has held since January 1, 2019.
In a statement, the plantation group said Keong Hui remained a non-independent executive director of GenP.
Keong Hui, the son of Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, also holds positions at Genting Bhd and Genting Malaysia Bhd, both as deputy chief executive and executive director.
GenP said the appointment followed Datuk Seri Tan Kong Han stepping down as chief executive on the same date, a role he had held since 2019.
Tan will no longer manage GenP’s daily operations but will remain an executive director and support Lim in leading the group.
Keong Hui holds a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Computer Science from the Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom and a Master’s degree in International Marketing Management from Regent’s Business School London, United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Genting Bhd has appointed Tan as its new chief executive officer, effective March 1, replacing Kok Thay, who has held the position for nearly two decades.
