Mazlan Ahmad dilantik lembaga pengarah Zico Trust

Mazlan Ahmad has been appointed as an independent director of the Zico Trust (M) Bhd board, effective 23 September. The Malaysian accountant, who also advises the Suruhanjaya Integriti Agensi Penguatkuasaan (Integrity Agencies Strengthening Authority) committee, is a member of the Executive Board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Malaysia and the Institute of Professional Accountants and Auditors Malaysia.

Currently, he serves as the deputy chairman of the Foundation for Education of Poor Children Malaysia. Mazlan also previously held the position of advisor in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM), Productivity Malaysia Corporation and the Racketeering Index Perception Trust Committee. He has also served as a practicing professor at INCEIF University and an adjunct professor at the International Islamic University Malaysia.

Zico Trust Deputy Director Jeevan M Sundaram said most of Mazlan's career has been spent with the institution that upholds integrity, accountability, and good governance. He believes that the same principles are crucial in the asset management industry, especially when families transfer their assets based on trust in the standards practiced.

"His experience will help us maintain that standard and strengthen the trust placed in Zico Trust," he said in a media statement. Mazlan said he was honored to join Zico Trust, which is known for its emphasis on good governance and accountability, while also assuming responsibilities that benefit the present and future. "I hope to contribute my experience in governance and institutional oversight to help the organization maintain its responsibility," he said.
