Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan appointed MIDA chairman

Malaysia expects to beat its approved investments target this year by working with, rather than competing against, its neighbours, says MIDA chairman Datuk Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Investment Development Autority (MIDA) appointed Datuk Abdul Majid Ahmad Khan as its new chairman, effective April 22.

Abdul Majid is the president of the Malaysia-China Friendship Association and he honorary chairman of the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce.

"Dato’ Abdul Majid needs no further introduction as he has a highly distinguished career spanning over three decades in the civil service including the Prime Minister’s Department as well as several Malaysia Missions abroad and senior positions in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

"He has also carved a name among Malaysia’s illustrious personalities, especially in the corporate world. 

"He is on several boards of companies including three public listed companies in Malaysia," said MIDA in a statement.

Abdul Majid succeeds Tan Sri Amirsham A Aziz, who vacated the position in 2018 after six years of service.
