Annual General Meeting
The AGM is undoubtedly the primary engagement platform between the
Board and shareholders of the Company and has historically been well
attended. The turn-out saw an increasing trend year-on-year indicating a
high level of engagement with shareholders.
At the AGM in 2015, all Directors were present in person to engage directly
with, and be accountable to the shareholders for the stewardship of the
Company. Before the commencement of the proceedings, the Group
Company Secretary highlighted administrative matters covering the voting
procedures including the procedures for a demand to be made for a
resolution to be voted by way of poll and the timing of making such demand.
The proceedings of the AGM normally commences with a concise but
complete presentation by the President &GCEOon the financial performance
of the Company for the preceding financial year, preceding quarter and the
Company’s vision and initiatives. The presentation is supported by visual
illustrations of key points and key financial figures to facilitate shareholders’
understanding. During the AGM, the shareholders are also at liberty to
raise questions on all affairs of the Company unlike Extraordinary General
Meetings where questions raised are on the proposed resolution being
tabled. The Chairman, subject to the line of questions and relevance,
entertains questions raised at the AGM as long as there is sufficient time
and they are not repetitive. Questions posed, where possible, are answered
in detail either at the AGM itself or thereafter where the shareholders will be
contacted and provided with the answers,
Furthermore, the President & GCEO also shares with the meeting the
responses to questions submitted in advance by the MSWG. The Board,
Management and the Company’s external legal counsels and auditors,
PricewaterhouseCoopers Malaysia (PwCM), are in attendance to respond to
