Shahinuddin is banking on data to drive the education sector.
AFTER 37 years, Shahinuddin Shariff traded his lawyer robes to spearhead Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), a wholly-owned company of the Education Ministry that operates a one-stop-centre for international student services together with the Immigration Department.
Although appointed chief executive officer in January, Shahinuddin has been on the EMGS’ board since 2012, when the company was set up. Frustrated with how EMGS has failed to live up to its potential, he didn’t hesitate when asked to take on the hot seat.
