Anglo-Eastern Plantations Plc which owns, operates and develops plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Farah Suhanah Tun Ahmad Sarji to the Board, as an Independent Non-Executive Director, with effect from 20 October 2022.

Ms. Farah, aged 57, is a Malaysian citizen and was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in 1996. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Law from the University of Kent in 1988, and was admitted as a Barrister-at-Law of the Middle Temple, London in 1989.

Ms. Farah has over 26 years of legal and commercial expertise across Malaysia on regulatory requirements, locally and internationally, in the oil and gas, telecommunications and satellite industries as well as the palm oil plantation industry.

Between 1989 to 1996, she worked for the Malaysian Government as a Deputy Public Prosecutor and Federal Counsel in the Attorney-General's Chambers.

The Board continues to observe the need for diversity with the appointment of Ms. Farah, who would also add value to AEP with her previous involvement in the palm oil plantation industry.
