KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 22): Datuk Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salle, the former group chief executive officer (CEO) of Pos Malaysia Bhd, is joining AirAsia Bhd’s new logistics arm, Redbox Logistics.

This was announced by AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes in his Twitter post today.

“Great to announce that Datuk Shukrie, formerly CEO of Pos Malaysia, has joined AirAsia in our new logistics arm, Redbox Logistics. A very powerful e-commerce Asean and Asian logistics company. Huge upside and value. We have planes,” Fernandes tweeted.

In December last year, Pos Malaysia had announced Shukrie’s resignation effective Dec 31, citing his intention to make a career change, and Datuk Azlan Shahrim was appointed as acting group CEO of the group.

The announcement had resulted in some selling pressure on the postal group's shares.

On Jan 23 this year, Pos Malaysia named Al-Ishsal Ishak, 49, as its group CEO effective Feb 2.

As at 3:32pm, AirAsia shares were traded at RM4.40, up nine sen or 2.09%, giving it a market capitalisation of RM14.57 billion.
