KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 — The search for a new group chief financial officer (CFO) is still underway after the recent termination of Khalijah Ismail following an internal inquiry, said Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) today.
“We will update the market once we have identified one,” Maybank president and group chief executive officer Datuk Khairussalleh Ramli told reporters after announcing the bank’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024 (FY2024).
He stressed that the internal inquiry was an isolated case and not triggered by the authorities, while no regulatory breach was found during the internal inquiry.
Recently, Maybank announced the departure of Khalijah with immediate effect, citing an internal inquiry as the reason for her exit.
The bank has appointed Malique Firdauz Ahmad Sidique as an acting group CFO, effective immediately. — Bernama
