PETALING JAYA: The rumoured entry of ex-DBS Group Holdings Bhd's Tan Kong Khoon to helm Hong Leong Bank Bhd (HLB) would further strengthen the bank's top brass after the recent appointment of another veteran banker, Foong Pik Yee, as chief financial offer (CFO) early this year.
This comes at a time when industry players say there is a growing shortage of personnel for the top management of banks, considering issues such as increasing competition and pressure on banks to deliver results in the wake of more regulation coming about.
