Malaysian Government directive terminating the services of all political appointees at all GLCs may mean Petronas is now left without a board of directors

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 

The Malay Mail and others have reported:

 Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's government has sacked all chairmen and board members of government-linked companies, statutory bodies and and state-investment fund appointed politically with immediate effect,


The directive has serious implications for the national oil company, where board appointments are invariably by order of the Prime Minister, who has sole ministerial oversight of the company, and all its subsidiaries. 

The directive must means the removal of all Petronas directors, leaving the company without a board of directors.. The same is likely to be the case for all Petronas subsidiaries. 

The current board of directors is led led by chairman Bakie Salleh.
