Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia said, “I am deeply honoured by the recognition given to Bursa Malaysia and to myself.  We appreciate that our efforts are being recognised and hope that our work can be exemplary and inspire others.  Good corporate governance plays a vital role in underpinning the integrity and efficiency of the capital market.  When companies are well governed, they are better able to attract capital investment and raise the standing of the capital market as a whole.”

Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan has been named CEO of the Year by the MSWG.  The CEO of the Year Award recognises leaders who inspire good corporate governance practices and are at the same time seen as visionary, entrepreneurial and dynamic within their company and the marketplace. “It humbles and energizes me to be in a position to facilitate greater change for the benefit of our country.  This award is a testament of our long-standing commitment to further embed corporate governance as a core value in the capital market. Moving forward, we will continue to strive to further enhance corporate governance in the marketplace and we call on others to join us in this journey.  In this regard, I wish to commend MSWG for their continued efforts in raising corporate governance standards in Malaysia,” Datuk Seri Tajuddin added.
