Farm Fresh Bhd has named independent director Datuk Quaza Nizamuddin A Hassan Nizam as the new chairman of the Johor-based dairy producer.
The former director-general of the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia will assume the independent non-executive chairman post with immediate effect, according to a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Monday.
According to Farm Fresh’s 2025 annual report, Quaza, 69, was first appointed to the board in September 2021. He has more than 37 years of experience in veterinary medicine and livestock production.
He began his career with the Malaysian Department of Veterinary Services as a veterinary officer in Negeri Sembilan from 1984 to 1989, and rose through the ranks to become director-general, a position he held from 2017 until his retirement in 2020.
Currently, he serves as an adjunct professor at Taylor’s University Malaysia and as a director of the Malaysian Equine Council. He also holds directorships in several private companies.
Quaza succeeds Tan Sri Megat Najmuddin Megat Khas, who passed away from cancer in December last year.
Shares in Farm Fresh fell two sen, or 0.8%, to close at RM2.49 on Monday, giving the group a market capitalisation of RM4.69 billion. Year to date, the stock has declined more than 12%.
