KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) is undertaking a major organisational restructuring, said the agency following the recent appointment of four industry veterans to its board of directors.

“The reinvented MDEC will introduce four strategic focus areas – digital MDEC, digitally powered businesses, digital investments, and digitally skilled Malaysians – driven by a newly constituted MDEC operating council comprising five divisions,” it said in a statement today.

The divisions are strategy, adoption (demand), industry (supply), investment and brand, and skills and jobs.

The four recent appointees are AirAsia Group president (AirAsia Digital) Aireen Omar; Artificial Intelligence in Medical Epidemiology co-founder Dr Dhesi Baha; AXA Group Asia Market operations general manager Farouk Peter Lee; and AHB International Bhd director of legal and administration Jaleeludeen Abu Baker. – Bernama, November 16, 2020
