Principals

Sharil’s Departure

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the departure of one of our principals, Mohamed Sharil bin Mohamed Tarmizi. Sharil’s unbridled knowledge of and experience in the telecommunications sector has been called to serve our beloved nation, and thus at the request of the Government, Sharil shall assume the role of Chief Operating Officer (‘COO’) at the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commissions (‘MCMC’). We understand that he shall be assuming the role of COO of MCMC commencing from 16 June 2008.

As a consequence of his appointment to MCMC, Sharil ceases to be a principal and employee of BinaFikir as of 1 June 2008, and all of his interests in the firm shall be acquired by the existing principals as of that date. Whilst Sharil’s departure is indeed a loss for the BinaFikir, we recognise that it is a significant gain for the country and therefore, we are indeed proud that one of our own shall be an integral leader of an esteemed regulatory organisation in Malaysia, in a critical sector of the economy.

We would like to congratulate Sharil on his new appointment and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours. His sage wisdom, gregarious humour and indomitable passion has been his enduring legacy here, and he will be sorely missed by the entire BinaFikir family.
