Chief Executive Officers of state-owned enterprises were reminded of their vital role in supporting economic growth and investor confidence.

The CEOs were tasked to always prioritise service delivery to avoid becoming a burden to the state through continuous bailouts.

The Chairperson of the Public Enterprises Chief Executive Officer's Forum, Fluksman Samuehl, says for growth to be attained and for the sake of development in the country's state-owned enterprises, the heads of these institutions must be loyal to their companies and not to the appointing authorities.
