Noor Alam Khan is ESSCom's new CEO

The Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) has a new chief executive officer effective yesterday.

Sabah Immigration director Noor Alam Khan Abdul Wahid Khan is now ESSCom's CEO, replacing Ruji Ubi who has been appointed as Sabah State Development officer.

Ruji took over from Datuk Matusin Sunsang who opted for early retirement early this month.

Meanwhile, ESSCom in a statement today said Ruji received his appointment letter from Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa on Dec 15.

Ruji, 45, holds a B.A Hons from University of Malaya and master's degree in Peace and Conflict Resolutions from University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.

He had held various posts in federal ministries prior to his stint in ESSCom, which was established on April 2013 following the militant intrusion in Tanduo, Lahad Datu earlier the same year.
