KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 1): Salween Azila Ahmad Tauffik has been appointed as new group chief executive officer (CEO) of Majuperak Holdings Bhd with immediate effect.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Majuperak said Salween, 51, who has been the acting group CEO of the property development and merchandising company since Aug 15, has been re-designated to the role of group CEO.
