Abstract
Tuan Haji Mohamed Taib bin Ibrahim, chairman of Muhibbah Engineering Bhd (MEB), called a meeting of the board of directors to discuss the issue of Asia Petroleum Hub (APH) project on 27 July 2012. The construction works for APH were stopped as APH financier of CIMB Bank Bhd, suspended its financing in 2009. Asia Petroleum Hub was later wound up under a winding-up petition filed by a creditor in October 2012. Muhibbah board decided to pay net debt exposure of RM 245 million certified claims from APH keeping Muhibbah’s right to pursue recovery. Mac Ngan Boon, the managing director, suggested drastic changes in the company’s structure, roles, responsibilities and organizational culture to put the company on a path to sustainable profits. Datuk Zakaria bin Abdul Hamid, vice chairman and independent non-executive director, and Abd Hamid bin Ibrahim, another independent non-executive director, endorsed Mac Ngan Boon’s suggestions. The board has to decide the way forward.
