Icon Offshore managing director to quit

PETALING JAYA: Icon Offshore managing director Amir Hamzah Azizan will be stepping down effective November 30, after helming the oil and gas firm for less than one-and-a-half years.
Amir's resignation is to pursue other opportunities, according to a filing with the stock exchange.
"The invaluable experience I gained at Icon will serve me well beyond the oil and gas sector, into my next role at Themed Attractions Resorts & Hotel Sdn Bhd," said Amir.
He was appointed on June 1, 2016 to replace Jamal Yusof, who was remanded in April 2015 to facilitate and assist investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Icon said over the next few months, it will be conducting a search to find its new managing director. During this transition period, COO Captain Hassan Ali will lead the group as acting managing director.
Icon shares closed unchanged at 27.5 sen on Friday on some 1.73 million shares done.
