Cypark appoints Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar as chair
In a statement, the group said Abdul Wahid succeeds Datuk Hamidah Moris (Ami Moris) as the board chair, as she transitions to the role of group managing director.
"Cypark is poised for its next leap forward. Over the past 12 months, we've added 270MWp of solar energy capacity and improved the energy generation performance from our waste-to-energy facility by 25%.
"These results are a testament to the resilience of our reconstituted board in 2024 and new leadership team's commitment to excellence," said Ami Moris.
According to Cypark, these changes reflect the board's strategic direction to strengthen independent oversight while empowering proven executive leadership.
"The separation of the chair and managing director roles ensures a high standard of governance, transparency, and accountability, in line with best practices for Bursa Malaysia listed companies," it said.
Meanwhile, Datuk Dr Gue See Sew has been appointed independent non-executive director, effective June 9, 2025.

KUALA LUMPUR: News on the latest moves on the stock and crypto markets. Bursa Malaysia opened higher on Monday, rebounding despite Wall Street's mixed performance. An analyst said sentiment has likely turned cautious for the moment and expects the index to hover between 1,570 and 1,580 levels today. IJM Corporation was among the most actively traded counters after its subsidiary secured a contract worth RM1.4 billion to build a data centre. The stock climbed 3.77 per cent, rising 11 sen to RM3.03. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin was trading just below RM500,000, at RM497,369, while Solana stood at RM801.

Foreign Investors Extend Selling Streak To 6 Weeks, Net Outflow Eases RM566 Million
Foreign investors continued to pare down their holdings on Bursa Malaysia for the sixth consecutive week, recording a net outflow of RM566.1 million for the week ended Friday. The figure, however, marked a sharp 50% reduction from the prior week's RM1.14 billion outflow. According to Kenanga, foreign investors were net sellers on all five trading days, with daily outflows ranging from RM94 million to RM167.4 million. The heaviest selling was seen on Friday, followed by Thursday (–RM103.5m), Tuesday (–RM101.5m), and Monday (–RM99.8m). Wednesday posted the smallest withdrawal. By sector, foreign investors channelled funds into Plantations (RM77.7m), Property (RM52.7m), and Financial Services (RM42.2m). Meanwhile, the sectors facing the largest net foreign outflows were Utilities (–RM209.5m), Telecommunication & Media (–RM185.5m), and Healthcare (–RM152.7m). On the domestic front, local institutions extended their net buying streak to a third week, with inflows of RM760.5m, helping cushion the foreign sell-off. In contrast, local retailers turned net sellers, reversing five straight weeks of buying, with a net outflow of RM194.4m. Trading activity was broadly higher across the board, except for local retailers. Average daily trading volume (ADTV) rose +8.9% for local institutions and +1.5% for foreign investors, but slipped –3% for retailers. Market watchers say foreign flows will likely remain sensitive to global risk sentiment, with upcoming US economic data and geopolitical developments expected to guide trading direction
