Khazanah Managing Director, Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar was given a rousing sendoff by his staff on Tuesday.

His staff waited in line to bid him goodbye at the office.

Last Tuesday, nine directors on Khazanah’s board, gave their undated resignation letters to the government, ending 11 weeks of impasse on the future direction of the sovereign wealth fund.

Azman’s term as managing director, a position he has held since 2004, was supposed to conclude at the end of the first quarter of next year.
