Sheffield City Council Seeks New Staff Members

Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi has been appointed as the executive chairman of the Securities Commission (SC) in Malaysia, following his tenure as chairman of PwC Malaysia. His appointment has generated significant attention due to his reputation for integrity and his strong legal and accounting background. Under his leadership, the SC has initiated legal action against prominent investor Datuk Dr. Yu Kuan Chon for alleged market manipulation, seeking a substantial penalty and a bar from trading. Additionally, Faiz has emphasized the importance of transitioning public-listed companies' annual general meetings back to physical or hybrid formats to build trust in the capital market. He believes this shift is crucial for attracting investments and supporting the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Faiz's proactive approach indicates a commitment to strengthening Malaysia's regulatory environment.
