Tan Sri Dato Seri Mohd Bakke Salleh was formerly the 1MDB chairman. It was reported that Dato Mohd Bakke had resigned from 1MDB in protest after money meant for 1MDB-PetroSaudi International joint venture were diverted to another company without the board’s approval.

Mohd Bakke had previously served as Group Managing Director of Felda Holdings in 2009 and he was also appointed as the Group President and CEO at FGV Holdings Bhd. He had also served as managing director at Sime Darby Plantation Bhd and was recently appointed as the chairman of Felda in June 2019.

Commenting on his new appointment, the Board said “Tan Sri Mohd Bakke is a highly respected corporate figure with extensive experience, known for upholding governance and integrity. He brings a wealth of industry and commercial insights, which will broaden and enrich the Board’s overall expertise. We look forward to Tan Sri’s guidance, counsel and leadership as the Company continues on its transformation journey and next phase of growth. This is in keeping to our institution being the key enabler of Malaysia’s Digital Nation aspiration, by delivering on our promise towards Making Life and Business Easier for a Better Malaysia.”
