Johari plans to turn around KUB

Valued asset: Aside from plantation asset, another prized asset in KUB is its stake in a sanitary landfill in Bukit Tagar.

DATUK Seri Johari Abdul Ghani is no stranger to the local corporate scene. His long association with KFC Holdings Malaysia Bhd made him a household name, especially to reporters covering the many hard-fought tussles for control of the fried chicken retailer in the past.

Following his entry into CI Holdings Bhd in 2005, Johari reaffirmed his ability to add value and turn around companies. Now, all eyes are on what he will do with KUB Malaysia Bhd, which he bought into four months ago.
