KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 11): Former UMNO lawmaker Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed has resigned as the chairman of Fast Energy Holdings Bhd (previously known as Techfast Holdings Bhd) effective Monday (Jan 10).

Nur Jazlan, 55, who helmed the company since November 2020, resigned due to his other personal commitments, the company said in a bourse filing.

The announcement comes a day after another listed company, Kanger International Bhd, reported the resignation of Nur Jazlan as its chairman for the same reason.

Nur Jazlan, who is Johor UMNO deputy chief, was previously the member of parliament for Pulai.

He served as deputy home affairs minister from July 2015 to May 2018, and as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee between June 2013 and July 2015.

Fast Energy's share price settled 0.5 sen or 4.55% lower at 10.5 sen on Tuesday, valuing the company at RM58.08 million.
