Bank Pembangunan Malaysia is the country’s oldest development financial institution with a twin mandate of national development and profitability, but is coming off a chequered past of funding projects owned by 'connected' parties.

He discusses delivering on these plans whilst dealing with the fallout from Covid-19.
