Working experience and occupation(s) during the past 10 years *
Anton Syazi Ahmad Sebi, 28, has been Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Company since 13 December 2005. He is also General Manager - Corporate Development of Advance Synergy Berhad ('ASB'). Anton graduated from the London School of Economics, University of London, with a Bachelor of Science in Economics. He also has a Master of Arts in Finance from Webster University Graduate Studies Center, London. Anton is a holder of the Investment Management Certificate (full IMRO version for institutional fund management) awarded by the UK Society of Investment Professionals.

Anton has been with the ASB Group since June 2001, when he joined as Assistant General Manager - Business Development. His role within ASB has included identifying and developing new business opportunities within the Group's business areas, overseeing and carrying out feasibility and preliminary market studies for new business opportunities, conducting business model due diligence and strategic planning. He has also been involved in the investment appraisal process within the Group.

Since July 2001, Anton has been Executive Director of Jarrett Synergy Pty Ltd (now known as Advansa Pty Ltd), a wholly owned subsidiary of Advance Synergy Berhad based in Adelaide, Australia. Since his appointment, Anton has been actively involved in the restructuring and strategic reorientation of this metal products contract manufacturing concern. Together with a management team assembled in late 2001, Anton led the divestment of non-core business divisions and re-established this company as a branded product business with core competencies in sales, distribution and product development, while outsourcing manufacturing processes to supply partners in China. A cultural change and comprehensive process re-engineering programme was also designed and successfully implemented during this time. Between 2001 and 2004, these initiatives to reposition and reinvigorate the business delivered 160% growth in turnover of the current core activities, and considerable improvements in overall operating profitability.

In 2002 , Anton also initiated and developed a niche home entertainment business of the Group- a business specialising in home cinema consultation and installation services, now known as Home Cinema Studio Pty Ltd. Anton continues to serve as Executive Director of this ASB business, which was established from the ground up in late 2002. From the outset, systemisation of key activities and operations of this business was prioritised to allow efficient scalability while maintaining quality of service at the required level. In its second year of operations, this new business grew 62% against its maiden year revenue results.

Prior to joining Advance Synergy Bhd, Anton was an Investment Banking Analyst with the South East Asia Investment Banking Division of Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB"), a leading global investment bank.

Anton completed the Investment Banking Analyst Training Programme in the London and New York offices of CSFB before joining the South East Asia Investment Banking Division in Singapore. During his time with CSFB, Anton participated in advisory projects spanning a range of industries, from telecommunications to shipping and broadcasting.

Anton attended Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia between 1988 and 1994 and received the Victorian Certificate of Education. In his final year of schooling, he was awarded double School Colours for Academic Achievement and for his Captaincy of Badminton. Anton was also a recipient of the ANZ Bank Prize for Economics and the Charles Murray Maxwell Prizes for both Chemistry and Physics.
