Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib has been appointed as Sunway Group deputy president.
KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Group marked its 50th anniversary in 2024 with the combined market capitalisation of its three publicly listed entities, namely Sunway Bhd, Sunway Construction Group Bhd and Sunway REIT, which all registered record highs.
Following this, Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib was appointed as deputy president, effective Jan 2, 2025, in this newly created role to oversee the group’s core businesses, including Sunway Property, Sunway Malls and Sunway Healthcare, among others. He reports to Sunway Group president Tan Sri Chew Chee Kin.
Anuar said: “As a board member of Sunway over the past 18 months, I had the privilege of working up close with the extraordinary leaders that laid the foundation for the group’s remarkable growth and success.”
Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah said: “Datuk Anuar is a highly respected corporate leader with deep experience on the boards of publicly listed companies and vast expertise spanning national, regional and global markets.
“His appointment marks a significant milestone in Sunway’s evolution and reflects our commitment to prepare the group for future challenges with a leader who embodies the vision and values of our diverse conglomerate.”
Anuar's appointment follows a series of changes to the senior management that will see Datin Paduka Sarena Cheah named deputy executive chairman and Evan Cheah promoted to deputy president. This new organisational structure is intended to further strengthen Sunway’s ability to capitalise on growth opportunities in existing and emerging markets across the region.
As deputy executive chairman, Sarena will grow and expand the group’s international ventures, as well as identify and pursue new market opportunities. She will continue to oversee the ongoing development of Sunway City Iskandar Puteri, Johor, into a world-class township that attracts global investments and promotes regional tourism.
In his role as deputy president, Evan will lead Sunway’s strategic investments and emerging businesses, as well as focus on accelerating its digital transformation and position the group at the forefront of innovation.
