KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 29 (Bernama) – The appointment of Jessica Chew Cheng Lian as Deputy Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) demonstrates the bank’s tradition as an institution that provides equal opportunity for all to succeed and thrive. “Let us welcome and give our full support to Jessica as the new Deputy Governor, as we had previously given to others, and wish her all the best in her new role,” Muhammad said in a statement today. Chew will assume the position of Deputy Governor of BNM effective Jan 1, 2018 following the retirement of Dr. Sukhdave Singh as Deputy Governor on Dec 31, 2017. “A good leader needs to also focus on nurturing talent development, to the extent of making him or herself redundant. As a retiree, Dr Sukhdave will enjoy all the benefits accorded under the terms and conditions of the bank,” he said.
