“We have names, one or two candidates. We have to wait. We will announce
next week,” he said to reporters after the ‘Jasamu Dikenang’ event in honour of
328 retirees of the ministry at the Putrajaya International Convention
Centre here today.
However, the Communications and Multimedia Minister declined to comment on
rumours that the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Corporate Affairs Department
head Nurini Kassim would be appointed to the post.
Wan Hamidi Hamid, deputy director of the Research for Social Advancement
(REFSA) think tank and former editor-in-chief of The Rocket, the official organ
of the DAP, has been mentioned as a candidate for the post.
The new CEO will take over from Datuk Zulkefli Salleh whose contract
expires next month.
Bernama's editor-in-chief Datuk Zakaria Abdul Wahab is currently the
acting CEO after taking over from Datuk Zulkefli Salleh.
