Zeti was appointed Sime Darby Property’s non-independent non-executive chairman on July 23, 2018, of which her tenure at the group will be of nearly three years.

She took over from Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar who retired from the position at the end of June 2018.

Apart from this position, Zeti is also the group chairman of Permodalan Nasional Bhd as well as the chairman of Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd. She also served as a member of the Council of Eminent Persons.
