HONG Kong-based billionaire Robert Kuok is meeting with the other members of the Council of Eminent Persons at Ilham Centre. 

Bernama tweeted a picture of the council members in the meeting earlier today.

The 94-year-old Kuok was named among the five members of the council, alongside ex-finance minister Daim Zainuddin, former central bank governor Zeti Aktar Aziz, former chief executive of state oil firm Petronas Hassan Marican and prominent economist Prof Jomo Kwame Sundaram.

The council, set up days after Pakatan Harapan (PH) toppled the Barisan Nasional (BN) government, has kept busy meeting senior government officials, GLCs and NGOs as it steps into its role as adviser to the government.

Employees Provident Fund (EPF) CEO Shahril Ridza Ridzuan and Khazanah Nasional managing director Azman Mokhtar were also summoned to the meeting today. – May 22, 2018.
