Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMS) has requested that Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib, son of Sarawak governor Abdul Taib Mahmud, stay on as its deputy chairperson.
Mahmud had on April 22 gone on leave following whistleblower complaints about a conflict of interest between him and the group’s ex-chief information officer Karl Vink @ Khalid Abdullah.
This was over the award of a contract by its subsidiary CMS I-Systems Sdn Bhd to Vienna Advantage GmbH.
Vienna Advantage GmBH holds a stake in a Malaysian subsidiary of the same name in which Mahmud reportedly has an indirect stake and Karl Vink is a director in the Malaysian firm.
CMS, in a statement today, said its board of directors approved a resolution for Mahmud to continue in his position instead of taking leave.
"While the board is grateful for his gesture in seeking leave of absence, we have reviewed the situation and resolved that there is no need for him to do so.
"Mahmud has agreed to the board’s request and we have informed the authorities accordingly," it said.
The CMS board said it had reviewed the conflict of interest claim and found that it was "without any basis whatsoever". - Mkini
