KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 12): Just one week after being appointed to the board of Sentoria Group Berhad, former senator Datuk Dr Ras Adiba Radzi has now assumed the role of the company's new independent and non-executive chairman.
This change comes as part of a series of boardroom shuffles, according to bourse filings on Friday.
In one of the filings, Sentoria announced that Ras Adiba will replace Datuk Abdul Rahman Imam Arshad, who will now serve as an independent and non-executive director.
Ras Adiba, 55, was initially appointed to the board on Jan 5, along with Lim Zhao Qi and Lim Poh Seong.
