Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) said it has yet to receive any formal notification on the appointment of Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid as its new chairman.
"Up to 5.30pm Friday, the company secretaries have yet to receive the notification in writing from The Minister of Finance (Inc) to appoint Datuk Wira Azhar Abdul Hamid as a government-appointed director and chairman of the board of directors of FGV," it said in a filing Friday evening.
Nonetheless, FGV noted that it will undertake the necessary process to appoint Azhar as the chairman when it receives written notification from MoF.
"Meanwhile, the board will continue to be led by the acting chairman, Tan Sri Dr Sulaiman Mahbob, in discharging its duties," the statement said.
Earlier Friday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak issued a statement through the Prime Minister's Office announcing Azhar's appointment to the position.
Azhar is formerly the Sime Darby Berhad CEO, Mass Rapid Transit Corp (MRT Corp) CEO, Tradewinds Corp chairman and Malakoff Corp managing director, among others.
