NUTRYFARM International : AZT 0%’s financial controller and joint company secretary Yang Kai Leong will step down from Jul 31, 2022, to pursue other career opportunities, the durian and health foods distributor said on Friday (Jun 24).

The move comes around 4 months after his appointment on Apr 6 this year. The 35-year old is in charge of the group’s finance operations and is the joint secretary for Nutryfarm’s corporate matters.

On Apr 24, Lim Boo Hiong, Nutryfarm’s acting chief financial officer and joint company secretary at the time, resigned due to health reasons. He took on the roles on Oct 1, 2021.

Yang’s stepping down comes just days after Nutryfarm announced the impending departure of its non-executive independent director Low Chin Parn Eric.

On Jun 20, the company said Low will step down from his role on Sep 18, just a little over 8 months since his appointment on Jan 2 this year. The 60-year-old cited personal reasons for his departure from the company.

Shares of Nutryfarm have been voluntarily suspended since April this year.
