TNB boss says board close to picking his replacement

Tenaga Nasional Berhad's Board of Director's will soon name its new boss.

 

"The decision will be made by the board. We will make an appropriate announcement once the decision is taken. I think the board is close to making their decision," said TNB president and CEO Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh.

Che Khalib indicated in an interview with an English daily in December last ywear that he will quit when his contract expires in June this year after heading the national utility for the past eight years.

"In any organisation, you need new faces. I am recommending a new face as the organisation needs a fresh face. It is like that in any organisation. If a person stays on for too long, people tend to get bored with him.

"It is entirely up to the board to decide, they are getting consultants to identify the candidates, the process started last month, " he said.

It was in December 2011 when Che Khalib indicated his wish not to have his appointment renewed.

Che Khalib said today the list of potential candidates is very long and the board will decide who should take up the baton from him.
