PETALING JAYA: Seasoned banker turned minister Datuk Amirsham Aziz’s primary challenge would be to help rebuild competitiveness for Malaysia after having successfully done that for its flagship bank.
“His skill is in cost efficiency and building a framework of financial discipline. If the leaders are serious about transparency and cost efficiency, he is the right man for the job. He must be given the support to use that skill,” said Datuk Mohd Hussein, former deputy president and chief financial officer of Maybank and Amirsham’s colleague for 30 years.
