The 4As Council is pleased to announce that our Vice President, Mr Ryusuke Oda who is the Managing Director of Hakuhodo Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. has been appointed as Acting President of 4As Malaysia.
This was unanimously agreed by Council at it’s recent October 2 meeting. He will serve as Acting President up to the end of the current Council’s 2 year term ending 31 March 2025.
As Members are already aware Mr Andrew Lee, our past 3 term President/re-elected for the 4th term, has decided to gracefully retire from our industry and from Havas Immerse Sdn. Bhd. His last day was on 30 September. The 4As held his thank you and farewell event on 22 September. We wish Andrew the very best in his next chapter.
Consequently, the role for President became vacant.
The Registrar of Societies confirms that as per the 4As Constitution when the position of President becomes vacant during a current term, the Council can decide on how to fill the position.
Oda-San has dutifully and most ably served as a Council Member during his first term of April 2019 to March 2021 and second term from April 2021 to March 2023. He was nominated and elected by Members as Vice President to serve the next 2 year term at the March 30, 2023 elections.
Oda-San together with fellow Council Member Mr. LV Chong, Monster Interactive Sdn. Bhd. has successfully organized and executed the 2022 Effie Awards Malaysia. They continue their role as Effie Awards Co-Organizing Chairmen also for this year’s 2023 competition. The standards on Effie continue to be raised thanks to their leadership, vision and diligence.
We look forward to your continued support towards Oda-San and your Council.
Our Congratulations to Oda-San from all fellow Members!
