KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has announced a reorganisation and several senior management appointments.
SC deputy chief executive Datuk Zainal Izlan Zainal Abidin will now have direct oversight over supervision and surveillance functions as well as the enlarged corporate resources business group, which will now include the technology department and the people and organisation development department.
