FROM PI More boardroom changes fol- lowed at state-owned institutions and corporations such as Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabi- litation Authority (Felcra), Social Security Organisation (Socso), Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), as well as Felda. Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Sha- budin Yahaya was appointed as Felcra chairman, succeeding Datuk Nageeb Wahab. Machang MP Datuk became the chairman of the MPOB, replacing Mohd.Bakke. Another significant appoint- ment took place at Bursa Malaysia Bhd, which saw Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar appointed as non- executive chairman, following the revoking of Datuk Shireen Ann Zaharah Muhiudeen's position over governance issue. Abdul Wahid, who previously chaired Malaysia's largest fund management company Permodalan Nasional Bhd from August 2016 to June 2018, was also a former minis- ter in the Prime Minister's Depart- ment in charge of economic plan- ning from June 2013 to June 2016. Pasir Mas MP has been appointed as the chairman of Skills Development Fund Corp or PTPK in early April. It was reported that Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan had declined a GLC chair- manship offer, stressing that he wants to focus on party matters instead. Mohamad was widely tipped to chair Tenaga Nasional Bhd, a post which later went to Padang Terap MP Datuk . Mahdzir's predecessor, Tan Sri Ahmad Badri Mohd Zahir, is now the chairman of the Employees Provident Fund, replacing Tan Sri Samsuddin Osman. Additionally, Sabak Bernam MP Datuk Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh was also speculated to become the chairman of Socso, but local media reported that a clause in its act bars "a member of any legislature" from taking the post. Meanwhile, Simpang Renggam MP Dr rejected his appointment as Mara Corp advisory committee chairman. Among names speculated to fill in other chairperson posts include Jelebu MP Datuk for Uda Holdings Bhd and Cameron Highlands MP Ramli Mohd Nor at Amanah Raya Bhd. VALUATOR
