RapidKL CEO Shaipudin Shah Harun Resigns

This is a good news to everyone. The incompetent Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd chief executive officer Shaipudin Shah Harun has tendered his resignation yesterday. A call to Prasarana confirmed that Shaipudin had put in his notice but did not reveal his reasons for doing so or who his successor will be.

His move comes at a critical time for Ministry of Finance-owned Prasarana, which is the sole asset holder for all the public transportation firms within the Klang Valley and Penang, including the light rail transit (LRT) systems, public buses and the KL monorail system.

Shaipudin had held the post of Prasarana’s CEO and executive director since Feb 15, 2005, according to the company’s website. I was quite surprised to know that he previously worked with Citibank as their head of Finance as what he had been doing for RapidKL certainly did not reflect the quality required of that a Citibank Executive. Not sure why the study took ages. He should just skip the politicians while designing the route as politicians always allow different priorities to cloud their mind instead of straight people's requirements sense.

shaipudin does not know the first thing about running a company, how he was made ceo of spnb in the first just boggles the mind... purchasing the forever breaking down chinese buses is just one of his many blunders...
