TNT Express has appointed Chong Siang Chung as the managing director of TNT Malaysia & Brunei with immediate effect. Based in Petaling Jaya, he manages over 600 employees and is responsible for overall TNT operations in Malaysia and Brunei.

Chong, who is more fondly known as SC in the industry, joined TNT Malaysia in 2003 as sales and marketing director. During his tenure as sales and marketing director, SC has led the company to achieve strong double digit revenue growth year after year, making TNT Malaysia one of the fastest growing business units in the Asia region. SC has also been instrumental in leading TNT to win the Best Brand in Logistics Solutions Provider Category for Brand Laureate Award 2008 and 2010, and two Asia Direct Marketing 360 Awards in 2009.

“SC has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the Malaysian business and under his dynamic leadership, the Malaysia team has achieved tremendous growth and built good credibility within the market. I believe he is capable in leading TNT Malaysia to achieve the company’s vision of becoming the most admired delivery company” said Michael Drake, TNT Asia Pacific managing director.   

SC holds a Degree in Science majoring in Biochemistry from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and an MBA from University of Dubuque, USA. He later received his Postgraduate Award in Management and Business Studies from Warwick Business School, UK in 2009.
