BANGKOK, July 5 (Reuters): Thailand's largest energy firm PTT Pcl appointed a new chairman on Friday as part of the military government's attempts to reshuffle the company and reform the country's state enterprise system.
Piyasvasti Amranand, a former energy minister, was named to the post after a PTT board meeting on Friday, Prajin Juntong, a deputy chief of the ruling military council, told reporters.
Areephong Wongcha-um, permanent secretary of the energy ministry, was appointed as a company director.
Thailand's military took power in a May 22 coup following months of street protests aimed at removing Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Yingluck was found guilty of abuse of power by a court on May 7 and ordered to step down.
