Bursa Malaysia chairman Amirsham A Aziz said the board of directors, management and staff of the bourse are looking forward to working closely with him.

“His experience will bring a refreshed perspective for Bursa Malaysia and I am confident that he will continue to spearhead the Exchange towards its next phase of accelerated growth of becoming a leading, responsible and globally-connected Asean Marketplace,” he said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, Amirsham said Tajuddin played a pivotal role in establishing the Exchange as a trusted partner and a venue for long-term wealth and value creation.

Tajuddin joined Bursa Malaysia as CEO in April 2011 when he was given the mandate to create a vibrant capital market.

During his tenure, he implemented strategic initiatives which transformed the Exchange into a national institution that has delivered a robust, dynamic and efficient capital market.
