KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 (Bernama) --  MTC Chairman Dato’ Gooi Hoe Hin has announced the appointment of Richard Yu Tuan Chong as the CEO of MTC effective 13 March 2018.

Gooi said Yu’s appointment has been unanimously decided by the MTC Board of Trustees with the approval of the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong.

Yu joined MTC, an agency under the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities, as its Deputy CEO in January 2016. He was appointed as Acting CEO in December 2017 when he took over from Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Nik whose term as CEO ended in November 2017.

Yu has spent a good part of his working life providing strategic direction and thought leadership to numerous highly reputable organisations in the country and overseas.

Prior to joining MTC, Yu was the Senior Director of the Asian Institute of Finance (AIF) where he contributed to the development of AIF to ensure that it is recognised as a valued brand in Asia.

As the Business Leader of Mercer Malaysia (Marsh & McLennan Companies), he led, managed and provided strategic solutions for various industries which included, inter alia, the financial, banking, oil and gas, healthcare and consumer goods sectors.

Yu was also the Head of Strategy at Multimedia Development Corporation, the Commercial Director of Thames Water PLC, the Managing Consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers and an Executive with Arab-Malaysian Group.

In his new role, Yu will spearhead MTC’s efforts in further promoting and boosting the growth of the Malaysian timber industry.

“Richard Yu has served MTC well and I hope everyone will continue to give their fullest cooperation to him. I am confident that he will provide far-sighted and effective leadership for MTC and the timber industry,” said Gooi.
