MEMORANDUM (MOU) BETWEEN CREST, UK AND MALAYSIA CREST CHAPTER
Thursday 13/07/2017
We are delighted to invite members of the media to join us at the signing of a memorandum between CREST, UK and the Malaysia CREST Chapter, in conjunction with our Global Discourse on Cyber Landscape in the Malaysian Financial Industry, a thought-leadership event organised by the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers.
