HSS Engineers' chairman steps down
KUALA LUMPUR: HSS Engineers Bhd says Datuk Mohd Zakhir Siddiqy Sidek has stepped down as its chairman effective July 31.
He wants to pursue other commitments and responsibilities outside the company and focus on other ongoing professional priorities, HSS Engineers said in a statement.
Mohd Zakhir, 58, served on HSS Engineers' board from April 17, 2015 and was also a member of the audit and risk management committee.
Datuk Seri Ismail Md Salleh, a senior independent non-executive director, will assume the role of acting chairman on Friday.
HSS Engineers said over the past decade as chairman, Mohd Zakhir played a pivotal role in guiding the company through several significant milestones.
He oversaw the company's initial public offering and listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia in 2016, followed by its successful transfer to the Main Market in 2017.
He provided strategic oversight during the acquisition of SMHB Engineering Sdn Bhd, which strengthened the company's engineering consultancy capabilities and leadership in infrastructure and water-related projects.
HSS Engineers executive vice chairman Tan Sri Ir Kuna Sittampalam said Mohd Zakhir's strategic vision was instrumental in taking it public and advancing key corporate initiatives, including the acquisition of SMHB.
"We are immensely appreciative of his invaluable contributions and unwavering support, which have laid a solid foundation for the company's continued growth," he added.
