Dear Stakeholders,
"It is an honour for me to be appointed as the new
Chairman of Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad, a position
assumed on 1 March 2021. I am looking forward
to work with my fellow Board members and the
Senior Management Team to continue building
on the Company’s strong operating and financial
performance”.
As I write this message, most countries – Malaysia included – have entered
a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although vaccinations have
been approved and administered, it will take time before a sufficient
number of people receive the required doses for immunity. Until then,
the world will still have to observe social distancing, good hygiene and
other Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) as part of the “new normal”.
Yet, as the American poet Robert Frost wisely stated, “life goes on”.
People and organisations alike just have to adapt to the sweeping changes
around us as best as possible. In some ways, the call for change is
positive for businesses as it forces a rethink of fundamental issues, such
as our broader purpose within the context of society and how best we
can create real value.
TAN SRI DR. ALI HAMSA
