In a statement today, the LHDN said Abu Tariq’s appointment reflects the full confidence of the member countries in his leadership in steering the CATA for the new term.
“This is not only an acknowledgment of Malaysia and the LHDN but also of Abu Tariq’s leadership and high commitment to elevate this organisation to a higher level,“ according to the statement.
