Malaysian CG Blueprint

On December 12, 2011, ACGA submitted a response on the Malaysian Securities Commission's new "CG Blueprint", released in July 2011. ACGA analysed and made recommendations on key proposals, including:

  • Voting by poll;
  • Appointment of proxies and corporate representatives;
  • A new code and industry umbrella body for institutional investors;
  • Mandating nomination committees;
  • Limiting the number of directorships;and
  • Independent chairmen

While we supported many of the proposed revisions, we suggested amendments to some.
