KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 23): Leong Hup International Bhd (KL:LHI) on Wednesday said that it has appointed Chong Choon Yeng as its new chief financial officer (CFO), effective Jan 1, 2025.

He takes over from Chew Eng Loke, 55, who on Jan 1 assumes his new role as group adviser at Leong Hup, said the poultry, egg and livestock feed producer in a filing.
“Chong has more than 30 years of experience in the field of financial management practices covering all aspects of accounting and finance,” Leong Hup said.
His experience includes treasury management, tax planning and compliance, corporate restructuring, strategic planning, and investor relations in various industries with multinational corporations (MNCs) and local public-listed companies.
He previously worked with Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd (KL:CARLSBG), Carlsberg Great China and Hong Leong Industries Bhd (KL:HLIND).
