The Non-Executive Directors who possess the experience and business acumen contribute effectively to the Board’s
deliberation and decision making process. The Independent directors are independent of management and are
free from any business or other relationships that could materially interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment. They provide independent and balanced assessment and unbiased views and advice to the Board’s
deliberation and decision-making process, so as to safeguard the interests of the Group and its stakeholders whilst
ensuring high standards of conduct and integrity are maintained.
1.3 Board Meetings
Board meetings for the ensuing financial year are scheduled in advance before the end of the financial year so as
to enable all Directors to plan ahead and block these dates in their respective calendars.
During the financial year, the Board met eight (8) times and all Directors have complied with the requirement in
respect of board meeting attendance as provided in the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia.
The Executive Chairman encourages full deliberation of issues brought up at the Board meetings by all members of
the Board. Senior management and external advisors are invited to attend the Board meetings to brief and advise
on relevant agenda items to enable the Board to arrive at a considered decision. At these meetings, the Company
