Special Address By The Guest Of Honour Ybhg Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Ranjit Ajit Singh, Chairman Of Securities Commission Malaysia, The Malaysian Private Equity Forum 2016, “The Impetus For Growth And Innovation”, 20 September 2016, The Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

Ladies and gentlemen,

A very good morning to everyone. It is a great pleasure for me to be here today at the Malaysian Private Equity Forum, and I would like to thank KWAP for having kindly extended their invitation for me to speak. I believe that this is the 4th time this forum is being held, with organization rotating between key institutional investors such as KWAP, EPF and Ekuinas. This is a highly commendable effort that brings together professionals, investors and stakeholders of the private equity sector, serving as not only a constructive platform for the sharing of thought leadership on the present issues of the day, but also for promoting greater awareness of private equity and the opportunities it can offer.
