Prasarana Malaysia Bhd has appointed Amir Hamdan as its president and group CEO effective yesterday.
Amir had been acting as Prasarana president and group CEO since July 15, taking over the posts in the interim following the end of Azharuddin Mat Sah’s term.
He joined Prasarana in 2019 as deputy chief financial officer before being appointed CEO of Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd in 2022 and then group chief operating officer (operations).
Prasarana chairman Nasir Ahmad said the decision to appoint Amir to the posts was in view of his excellent performance and significant contributions since joining the company.
“His calm and authoritative leadership has proven his ability to lead Prasarana forward.
“The board of directors is confident that he can lead the organisation to greater achievements, in line with the national goal of strengthening the nation’s public transportation system,” Nasir said in a statement.
Amir thanked the board for entrusting him with the responsibility, vowing to embark on competitive, people-based and inclusive measures to strengthen public transportation in Malaysia.
