Sepang International Circuit (SIC) and the ministry of finance have announced that Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir has resigned from his post as chairman, with effect from October 10. The son of former prime minister Tun Mahathir Mohamed has been at the helm of the circuit’s management since 2003.
Replacing him will be Tan Sri Mohamed Azman Yahya, who has been contracted for a period of three years. A winner of the Malaysian Super Series and the Merdeka Millennium Endurance race, as well as the Driver of the Year award by the Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) in 2004, Azman has been on the SIC’s board of directors since 2010.
“It is a great honour to be appointed to this role and I am pleased to have the opportunity to carry on the valuable work of my predecessors Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir and Allahyarham Tan Sri Basir Ismail, as chairman of Sepang International Circuit,” Azman said. “I hope to further contribute to the development and growth of motorsports in Malaysia, a field very close to my heart.”
Mokhzani said that it had been an honour and privilege to be part of the SIC team. “I have seen events evolve from amateur races to professional world class events, and I’m proud to have witnessed Malaysians rise to the occasion to give the international talents a fight for their money. I have seen SIC catalysing change in Malaysian and regional motorsports culture, creating a new culture of professionalism and safety,” he said.

The noose is tightening around the old man… Time for debt collector to come collectin’
fear not old man..
Oh, he shud. PM not in the mood to stomach anymore legacy bollocks
This is why Malaysia will not go anywhere in sports. Everything is related to politic. Why would a datuk or tan sri holding so many positions? Are they really that multi-tasking? All pakai nama je….sitting there doing nothing when many capable ones are not appointed.
In Sepang Circuit’s case, it seems like he did a gud job (or at least he has assembled a gud team). Unfortunately, the man has too many baggage…
Agreed with you . We should ban the use of stupid Datuk , Datuk Seri , Tan Sri helming any goverment -related posts as most of them are like pests . This syiok sendiri titles belong to the 15th century era .
Yes, all politics, this is why they sacked Mahathir from Petronas and Proton. He was asked to leave.
When Dr M introduce Twin Towers/Sepang F1 Circuit/Putra Jaya, all BN members says its very good at that time & says he is a Visionary.
When Dr M is no more in power, this same BN members/ministers call him names. Is this how BN members repay our “Bapa Pemodenan Malaysia”
If u wanna clean house but the old ex-tenant tells u not to throw his stuff away (and theres a lot of stuff!) otherwise he will go on warpath to ruin ur reputation, wud u agree to him?
John, please don’t use innuendos or suppositions. I dare you call a spade A SPADE.
IF only PT allows impartial comments against certain “free and fair” parties, then innuendos r not needed. Pls come to MT and see what a spade really looks like.
J, now i know U are RPK Kaki. No wonder your comments are littered with political connotation especially anything that have any inclination on BN or our Gov.
I am not going to bring politics into PT as this is about Cars & motoring. MT is not my cup of tea as there is nothing positive except bashing oppositions just like what U are doing now.
“I am not going to bring politics into PT”, now go see ur 1st comment above. Facepalm urself on the desk. Hard. kthxbye.
What or who’s reputation you are referring to John ?! There is non to begin with.
Well now. If u have no reputation, then why the old ex-tenant rented from u in the 1st place?
That is a good reply J. I did not own a property at that time so i did not rent to the old man U are referring to if that is what U are inferring.
That old tenant & the current landlord is from the same “family”(Uno) meaning same same just like U. NO !?
