Kim Teck Cheong Consolidated Bhd has appointed Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali as its independent non-executive chairman, following the resignation of Tun Richard Malanjum from the role.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the consumer goods distributor said Mohd Zuki, 64, brings extensive public sector leadership experience to the board. He holds a degree in economics from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, a diploma in public management from the National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN), and a master of business administration from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Mohd Zuki began his career in the Malaysian Administrative and Diplomatic Service in 1992 and has since held various senior roles across multiple ministries and government agencies. Throughout his public service career, he was involved in policy development, administrative leadership and inter-agency coordination at the federal level.
Among his previous positions, he served as director-general of the Legal Affairs Division in the Prime Minister’s Department, secretary for federal affairs in Sarawak, and senior deputy secretary-general at the Prime Minister’s Department. He also held the role of secretary-general of the Ministry of Defence, where he oversaw administrative and strategic functions within the ministry.
The company said his appointment is expected to strengthen board leadership and support Kim Teck Cheong’s governance and strategic direction.
