PETALING JAYA: Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has appointed Nor Shahrizan Sulaiman as officer-in-charge of Maybank Islamic Bhd (MIB), following the resignation of Datuk Muzaffar Hisham, who has stepped down to pursue other professional interests.
In a statement, Maybank said the search for a new group CEO of Islamic banking will begin immediately, with an announcement to be made in due course.
Nor Shahrizan will take on the day-to-day management of MIB, in addition to his current duties, until a new group CEO is appointed.
