A special thank you to all employees for their dedication and commitment to delivering outstanding successes and results for the company during these challenging years. I am pleased that I’m handing over the chairmanship to Tan Sri Chor as his distinguished career with the Government of Malaysia in the past and his vast experience in the corporate world will steer the Group forward, as 2022 is the year of transition to a new five-year strategy – SAIL’27, which will begin in 2023.”

I admire the dynamism and resilience of the Group, its committed people and innovative brand portfolios in both Malaysia and Singapore.
