PORT Klang Authority (PKA) general manager and chief executive officer Lim Thean Shiang is the new chairman of subsidiary Port Klang Free Zone Sdn Bhd, the manager and marketer of the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ).
He will serve a two-year term beginning June 23 2008. Lim replaces Datin Paduka O.C. Phang who had tendered her resignation on the same day.
PKA chairman Lee Hwa Beng said unlike Phang, Lim will have executive powers and will be the focal point for matters relating to PKFZ.
Lim said with his appointment, PKFZ will no longer be searching for a suitable person to fill the managing director post left by Noel Gulliver William, who returned to Jafza International in April last year.
Gulliver was seconded by Jafza international to PKFZ in 2006 to establish its mega distribution park. However, Jafza pulled out of a 15-year contract to manage the free zone in July 2007.
“I am reviewing all the activities at PKFZ to make it attractive (for investors) as well as to get all facilities ready.” Lim said, adding that the main access road into PKFZ will be completed by the end of next month.
