Leong's role in DHL expands to Brunei
DHL Express Malaysia country manager Sam Leong’s role has been widened to include the international express and logistics company’s operations in Brunei as a result of its regional restructuring programme to improve geographic focus upon trade lanes within Asia Pacific.
In a statement on Jan 24, DHL said under the restructuring programme, DHL Express Brunei country manager Hardy Diec has begun reporting to Leong since Jan 1.
“I am honoured to take up this expanded portfolio and look forward to overseeing our progress in Brunei.
“With the exciting activities being planned for DHL Malaysia in 2007, I hope to continue the momentum generated here and build on our reputation as the world’s leading express and logistics company in Brunei as well,” Leong said.
DHL’s restructuring consisted of two areas – the South Asia and Indochina Area and Southeast Asia.
It said the Southeast Asia area, led by DHL senior vice president Southeast Asia, Yasmin Aladad Khan, had expanded to include Brunei, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, in addition to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
DHL said the South Asia and Indochina Area had been renamed South Asia Area and covered India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Maldives, Bangladesh and Bhutan.
