Chitra Devi Sundram was called to the Malaysian Bar in 1996 and thereafter served as a PTD Officer (Pegawai Tadbir dan Diplomatik) in the Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications & Posts. Once she realized that her true passion was to practice law, she resigned from the civil service and commenced her legal career.

In 2000, she jointly established Messrs Kim & Devi, a partnership, and proceeded to lead the litigation department. However, when the opportunity arose to get international exposure, Ms Sundram took a leap of faith and joined an Indo-Canadian company based in India as an In-House Counsel in 2005. Her approximately 5 years stint gave her vast exposure in corporate and commercial work in several jurisdictions namely the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, India, Canada and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Upon her return to Malaysia, she joined an established public listed company in the business of Information Technology and security, working her way up to becoming head of legal in 2011. Here, she acquired vast skills in corporate governance, risk management and regulatory compliance.

Ms Sundram was offered the opportunity to join the Asian Institute of Finance, a think-tank jointly established by the Securities Commission and Bank Negara Malaysia in 2017, as General Manager under the Professional Standards Department. She was part of the Financial Services Professional Board (FSPB), where she organised and supervised the development of NOSS for 5 sectors in banking including compliance and Syariah advisory, publishing a case study on Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd in 2018.

She was practising as a sole proprietor before her appointment as MAMSB CEO.

Senior Manager with 25 years of experience in the education industry. Experienced in development, design, administration and delivery of reliable robust programmes and examinations. Skilled in developing various types of assessments, case studies. Knowledgeable in training evaluation methodology and developing training programmes, education policies and guidelines.

Strategic Blueprint

Click on image to enlarge

The Taskforce on the Money Services Business Strategic Blueprint was set up by the Association in January 2021 pursuant to the Money Services Business Regulator’s (MSBR) aspiration for the Association to continue its efforts to modernise and transform the MSB industry into a progressive and professional sector for the next 5 years (2022-2026). The inaugural strategic blueprint (SBP) that was crafted in 2015 had successfully identified the 3-fold objectives for the development of the SBP and derived 6 SBP Strategic Outcomes that collectively aimed at meeting the Association’s Vision.
