Majlis Amanah Rakyat

BUTTERWORTH: The appointment of Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki as Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) chairman is based on merit and his qualifications, says Datuk ...

He said the government would not appoint someone who could not contribute to an organisation. The Rural and Regional Development Minister said it would be a waste if Asyraf's knowledge and experience were not used to benefit an organisation, especially one concerned with rural development, among other matters. "He is a banker by profession and holds a PhD in Islamic banking," he told a press conference during a working visit to the Penang Regional Development Authority (Perda) here on Sunday (March 26).
