KUALA LUMPUR (May 24): Malaysia Debt Ventures Bhd (MDV), a subsidiary of the Minister of Finance Inc and an agency under the purview of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, has appointed Wong Chen, who is Member of Parliament for Subang, as its non-executive chairman.
Wong fills a role that had been vacant since Khairul Azwan Harun’s term ended on Dec 31, 2022. Khairul Azwan was appointed as the chairman of MDV in October 2020.
