Lotus sacks Dany Bahar, makes British PR COO


Inordinate spending: Washington Post compares Dany's sacking to the firing of Merc's CEO


Khamel
The thing you have to admire about Khamil Jamil is his ability to let someone go. At DRB-Hicom where he reigns, many have left without him shedding a tear. Or so they said. Perhaps you need a cold heart and a firm hand to run a business empire. In any case, the dismissal of Dany Bahar so early under his watch of our national car and its interests proves that Khamil means business.



The press release on the sacking: 
LOTUS APPOINTS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERConfirms dismissal of Dany Bahar Norfolk, 7 June 2012 - As a result of several media queries, Group Lotus plc (“Lotus” or the “Company”) can today confirm that, Mr Dany Bahar has been terminated from his employment as Chief Executive Officer of Lotus with immediate effect. 
The decision was made by the Board of Group Lotus plc following the results of an investigation into a complaint made against him by the company’s penultimate holding company, DRB-HICOM Berhad.  
The Company today also announced the appointment of Mr Aslam Farikullah as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer with immediate effect. Mr Aslam, aged 51, has over 26 years working experience, most of which was in the automotive industry. He graduated from University of Bath, England with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Engineering. A British permanent resident, Mr Aslam and his English wife of 27 years have three children aged 26, 22 and 16.  
Dato’ Sri Haji Mohd Khamil Jamil, Group Managing Director of DRB-HICOM Berhad and also Chairman of Lotus said: “I would like to assure you that we remain committed to ensure the ongoing and future business operations of the Lotus Group as we take the Lotus Group to the next level to remain relevant in the global automotive industry. I look forward to bringing mutual benefits to not only DRB-HICOM and PROTON Holdings Berhad but also the Lotus Group and its employees as well as contribute to the growth of the British automotive industry.”

    Expect Lotus to be sold eventually. DRB Group lacks the patience to allow growth. Immediate results are good, but for some industry to even achieve economics of scale, you need to nurture them. Give them the oxygen... breathing space and time so that the strategy pun in place can take effect. Wonder whether the bosses 'can' allow that. Aslam .... best of luck bro. Carry an extra bottle of oxygen with you.

    Kakitangan Felda layak terima saham 2.5 peratus - Ahmad Maslan

    KUALA TERENGGANU 10 Jun - Kakitangan Felda layak menerima saham 2.5 peratus hasil penyenaraian Felda Global Ventures Holding (FGVH) di Bursa Malaysia, kata Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Ahmad Maslan.

    Menurut Ahmad pemberian itu wajar dilakukan setelah mengambil kira beberapa faktor yang dianalisa secara mendalam oleh Felda tanpa mengabaikan nasib mana-mana pihak.

    "Kakitangan dan peneroka Felda masing-masing menerima saham sebanyak 2.5 peratus, namun disebabkan bilangan peneroka lebih ramai berbanding kakitangan, agihan saham yang diterima peneroka kelihatan lebih kecil berbanding kakitangan.

    "Kita mempunyai 112,635 peneroka di seluruh negara manakala bilangan kakitangan hanya 23,000 orang," katanya kepada pemberita dalam sidang akhbar selepas menyampaikan Seminar Pemahaman Wasatiyyah dan Gagasan 1Malaysia di Wisma Darul Iman di sini hari ini. - BERNAMA
