I hope their new boss would earn his keep and do something about it. Coming from TM, he should be IT literate and know what to do.
From: http://www.maybank2u.com.my/corporate/press_release/2008/260208.shtml
In the interest of a smooth transition and handing over of responsibilities, Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid, 44, will join the Group on 2 June 2008 prior to his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer on 1 July 2008.
Announcing the new President and Chief Executive Officer for Maybank, Tan Sri Mohamed Basir said the Board of Directors was pleased that Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid Omar had accepted the offer from Maybank Group. Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid is currently Group Chief Executive Officer of Telekom Malaysia Berhad.
A chartered accountant by profession, Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), United Kingdom and a member of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid has a strong track record in corporate and financial management having started his career in the banking sector and spent some ten years in the financial industry in various capacities prior to helming the UEM and TM Group.
During his tenure at Amanah Capital Group, Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid had served as the Director of Group Corporate Services cum Divisional Director, Capital Market and Securities overseeing the overall direction and performance of the division which included discount houses and money broking firms. He was also the Chairman of Amanah Short Deposits Berhad and a past Chairman of Association of Discount Houses in Malaysia. Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid had also served as a Director of Amanah Merchant Bank Berhad.
Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid was appointed as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the UEM Group in October 2001 and served until June 2004. With his vast experience in the financial industry and extensive knowledge of the capital market, Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid was tasked to lead the turnaround of the UEM-Renong Group. He completed 2 phases of financial restructuring at UEM-Renong Group that saw the listing of PLUS Expressways Berhad, the creation of UEM World Berhad and its listing on Bursa Malaysia in August 2003. At the end of his tenure, the UEM Group had been completely turned around from an ailing conglomerate with huge debt overhang to a profitable and viable group.
In July 2004, Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid was appointed Group Chief Executive Officer of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) where he has been instrumental in implementing various initiatives crucial to TM’s transformation and growth. It was during his tenure that TM made the strategic decision to focus its international expansion and strengthen its presence in emerging markets closer to home. Today, TM is an emerging leader in Asian communications with a strong presence in the fast growing South / Southeast Asia market with a unique portfolio of assets across 10 markets in Asia, 8 of which involve mobile operations.
Dato’ Abdul Wahid was also the recipient of the Malaysia’s CEO of the Year Award from Business Times and Maybank / American Express in 2006.
“As a Group, Maybank is in a position of strength for future growth in the region and beyond. We are fully confident that we have identified the right individual who has the capabilities and vision to spearhead our regional expansion plans, someone with the foresight and corporate experience,” Tan Sri Mohamed Basir said.
The fast changing landscape in the financial services sector and ever growing competition, he said, demanded that an organisation such as Maybank embark on a platform of growth that was dynamic, one that was exciting to the market and investors and at the same time constantly conscious of its responsibility as the country’s financial services leader.
“We look forward to welcoming Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid on board the Maybank Group and extend to him the support and cooperation needed to take us into the next phase of our journey of development and future success,” he added.
