The appointment came into effect on Oct 1.
Johari had previously been appointed as the group’s non-independent non-executive director on Aug 1.
He brings with him a wealth of corporate and leadership experience spanning 28 years across various industries.

“We look forward to working with him as we strengthen our market presence and expand our portfolio,” said Zulkiple.
Johari has previously served as Hektar Asset Management Sdn Bhd executive director and chief executive officer.
From 2022 onwards, he steered Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust (Hektar REIT) through the recovery period post-Covid-19 pandemic to profitability via growth and diversification.
