KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 — Media Prima Bhd has appointed Datuk Mohd Nasir Ahmad as group chairman, effective today.
In a statement today, the media group also announced the redesignation of Raja Datuk Zaharaton Raja Zainal Abidin as senior independent non-executive director and the appointment of Mohd Rashid Mohd Yusof as independent non-executive director.
“Mohd Nasir first joined the board on February 26, 2016. He was the senior independent non-executive director and was appointed as interim group chairman on May 21, 2018,” it said.
Media Prima also said it had conducted a thorough appointment process for the group chairman position and believed Mohd Nasir was the most suitable candidate to lead Media Prima forward as it embarked on becoming Malaysia’s leading digital-first commerce and content company.
