JOHOR BARU: Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, recently appointed as
minister in the Prime Minister's Department, will resign as Malayan
Banking president and chief executive officer on June 4.

He will take his oath of office as senator on June 5 in order to assume his new portfolio.

"Let me complete my duties at Maybank, which will release its first quarter financial results on May 23.

"For now, I want to focus on Maybank and will make a statement on my
new portfolio after I take public office," he said after officiating at
the Menara Maybank office model in Legoland, Nusajaya on Saturday.





After helming three corporate giants, namely UEM Builders Bhd, Telekom
Malaysia Bhd and Maybank, Wahid described his new responsibility as
very challenging.

"As a minister, this is a public office with a
mammoth responsibility where the stakeholders are not only the
shareholders and customers but also the citizens of Malaysia. So, this
is a great responsibility," he said. Bernama
