Khazanah, Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund, declared a profit of RM2.9 billion for 2020, despite the challenging operating environment and significant impairments due to its hospitality and aviation assets. Managing director Datuk Shahril Ridzuan takes the hot seat to tell us whether their new mandate works, the new strategic investments that will fuel the next phase of growth, and the future of Malaysia Airlines. He also contemplates his own future in the national sovereign fund.
