From the Business Times – Najib Mulls Candidates for PETRONAS CEO


From the Business Times, dateline Jan 15, 2010:

A THREE-WAY race to helm Malaysia’s national oil corporation is on but the incumbent is not one of the contenders, executives familiar with the matter said.

…

The three being considered are all from within the company, which puts paid to speculation that Mr Najib would rope in an outsider to helm the oil firm. The trio: Shamsul Azhar Abbas, an adviser to Petronas’ international operations; Anuar Ahmad, a vice-president in charge of human resource management; and Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin, Petronas’s vice-president in charge of the gas business.

I guess the Business Times has its own sources, as this news has not been reported by the Malaysian newswires.
