Munir Majid named CIMB Asean Research Institute chairman

CIMB Group chief executive Datuk Seri Nazir Razak said:

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Dr Munir Majid has been appointed CIMB Asean Research Institute (CARI) chairman effective Feb 1. The appointment is for two years.

Munir, who is also Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chairman, will take over from Bapak Glenn Muhammad Surya Yusuf, who will remain on the board of CARI. He said the next two years would be challenging as Asean sought to become a community based on three pillars – economic, political and socio-cultural.
