The minority shareholders in Malaysia are represented by the
Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG). The MSWG was
established as a government initiative in 2000, as part of a
broader capital market framework to protect the interests of
minority shareholders through shareholder activism.
One of the roles of MSWG is to ensure that minority
shareholders are accorded with their three basic rights;
i.e. right to seek information, right to voice an opinion
and the right to seek redress. The right to voice an opinion
includes, amongst others, the right to nominate a candidate
for directorship. For the past few years, MSWG has
participated actively in the Group's Annual General
Meetings.

The Group provides written explanation in response to queries raised by MSWG and these questions and answers are read out at the Group's AGM.
