KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 3): The Employees Provident Fund says its chief executive officer Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan, who has been appointed the new Khazanah Nasional Bhd managing director, will continue to lead the pension fund until he reports for duty at the sovereign wealth fund.
In a statement, the EPF, which also confirmed Shahril's appointment as Khazanah MD, said he will be reporting for duty at Khazanah on Aug 20.
"Until then, Datuk Shahril will remain as the CEO to ensure continuity and proper handover of duties at the EPF," the statement read.
Earlier today, Khazanah announced that Shahril, 48, has been appointed its new MD, confirming a report by The Edge Financial Daily yesterday that Shahril was tipped to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar.
Shahril has been CEO at EPF since April 16, 2013. He was previously the deputy CEO of investment at the pension fund.
