IOI Appoints Tan Sri Abdul Wahid As New Chairman Of IOI
IOI Corporation Berhad (“IOI”) has appointed Tan Sri Abdul Wahid bin Omar as IOI’s new Independent Non-Executive Chairman, effective 5 November 2025.
Tan Sri Abdul Wahid succeeds Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman Tan Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui, who retired on 4 November after an illustrious journey in serving the Board since December 2014. Tan Sri Abdul Wahid has served as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director at the Board since 16 June 2025 prior to his appointment as the Chairman.
Tan Sri Abdul Wahid said, after IOI’s 56th Annual General Meeting: “Thank you to the Board for appointing me as Chairman. It has been a pleasure working with Tan Sri Peter Chin over the past five months. I look forward to working closely with Dato’ Lee Yeow Chor (IOI’s Group Managing Director and Executive Chairman) and contributing further value to the company.”
With extensive leadership experience across both corporate and public sectors, including his roles as Group Chief Executive Officer of Telekom Malaysia Berhad and President and Chief Executive Officer of Malayan Banking Berhad, his service as Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economic Planning Unit), and his most recent role as Chairman of Bursa Malaysia, Tan Sri Abdul Wahid brings invaluable wealth and strategic insight to IOI.
