The contents of a securities registration statement mainly comprises a securities information section, in which the offering structure and the offered securities are described, and a corporate information section (including financial statements and audit reports). The form and substance of the securities registration statement are established by the Cabinet Office Ordinance on the Disclosure of Corporate Affairs, etc, of Companies (Ministry of Finance Ordinance No. 5 of 1973).

He said the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (MCCG) introduced by the Securities Commission Malaysia advocates the practice of having more than 50% independent directors for large companies and at least 50% for other companies. “Four of the resigning directors gave granular reasons for their resignation, and that is commendable on their part.

In form and substance, Mr Yang’s plea highlighted the unusual nature of this election—perhaps the highest-profile one yet to use ranked-choice voting (RCV), an electoral system much beloved by psephologists (chuyên gia về bầu cử). In RCV elections, voters rank their choices from one to five. First-choice votes are tallied first. If no candidate gets a majority, then the candidate with the least support is dropped from the ballot, and top-choice votes for them are reallocated to their voters’ second choices. If there is still no majority, the candidate with the least support is again dropped; this continues until one candidate has more than half the total vote. Multiple rounds of counting make RCV elections difficult to predict (as, in this case, does the large share of voters, around 13%, who are undecided); a winner may not be announced for weeks.
