KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 5): The Sultan of Johor’s daughter, Tunku Tun Aminah Sultan Ibrahim Ismail, was appointed Berjaya Assets Bhd’s (BAssets) new non-independent and non-executive chairman, effective yesterday.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, BAssets said Tun Aminah has been chairman of telecommunications specialist REDtone International Bhd, a subsidiary of Berjaya Corp Bhd since March 3, 2017.
“She has considerable experience in heading private organisations across a broad range of industries,” it said.
Berjaya Corp holds a 16.81% stake in BAssets, while the Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Ismail is the second largest shareholder of BAssets with a 10.09% stake after acquiring 80 million shares, raising his total held to 120 million shares.
