PETALING JAYA: Former chief secretary to the government Zuki Ali has been named the new Employees Provident Fund (EPF) chairman.
His appointment will take effect on Sept 1, EPF said in a statement.
Zuki succeeds Ahmad Badri Zahir, who had helmed the post since May 1, 2020.
“The Board would like to welcome and congratulate Zuki, whose extensive experience in the government sector and strategic direction will continue to drive the EPF to greater heights.”
