| Working experience and occupation | Datuk Seri Utama Raja Nong Chik started his career as an accountant at FELCRA (Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority) in 1978 and thereafter as the Assistant Financial Controller and Manager, Corporate Planning at Kumpulan FIMA Bhd. He then joined the OYL Group as an Executive Director and was instrumental in setting a joint-venture company which pioneered a local brand of air conditioners and fridge under the brand name, ACSON, which is now exported throughout the world. In 1986, he was instrumental in getting OYL Industries Bhd listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad). In 1991, he left the OYL Group after disposing of a strategic stake to the Hong Leong Group to establish his own RASMA Group of Companies as an engineering based investment company which is actively involved in mechanical and electrical engineering, construction and property investment and manufacturing. Until April 2009, he was on the Board of Pharmaniaga Bhd and iCapital.biz Bhd. He was appointed an independent non-executive Director of Lion Industries Corporation Berhad ("LICB") in August 2013 and was appointed its Chairman in December 2013. In May 2025, he was redesignated as the non-independent non-executive Chairman of LICB and served in that capacity until November 2025.
Datuk Seri Utama Raja Nong Chik also served as a committee member of the Selangor Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers for a number of years, and before becoming a Minister, was the President of the Bumiputra Manufacturers and Services Industry Association, President of Persatuan Kontraktor Jentera Melayu Malaysia (PKJMM) and a member of the National Innovation Council of Malaysia. In April 2009, he was appointed a Senator and the Minister of Federal Territories and Urban Well-Being by the Prime Minister. He resigned as a Minister and Senator in May 2013. |
