In a statement today, Boustead said Mohamed Khaled had previously served as the Johor Menteri Besar from 2013 to 2018 and under his leadership, the state had witnessed a steady growth in its economy.
He had also served as the Johor Corporation Bhd chairman and the group had successfully implemented several restructuring and turnaround exercises during his tenure, it said.
