TAIPEI – The wife of former Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou reportedly plans to leave Mega Bank
after more than three decades.
Former first lady Chow Mei-ching is reportedly expected to resign from her posts at Mega Bank and its financial group on Friday, where she has worked in a variety of roles for over 30 years, the local media reported on Thursday.
Chow’s intention to resign, reported by the local United Evening News, is expected to be reviewed at a board of directors meeting discussing the financial group’s charitable foundation, at which Chow is a high-level official.
The company said it had not received any information indicating Chow’s intention to resign.
Chow’s possible decision comes as Mega Financial Holding Co. became embroiled in a money laundering scandal in the United States, in which regulators slapped a $180 million fine on its New York branch. [FULL STORY]
