Corporate Monitoring
What We Do
Corporate monitoring is at the heart of our advocacy. We closely monitor over 450 public listed companies across all 12 states in Malaysia, examining their financial performance, business operations, governance practices, and sustainability disclosures.
Our reviews are comprehensive and data-driven. Where concerns arise, we engage directly with the company either by issuing formal letters or by raising the issues during the company’s general meetings. These letters are made available exclusively to our subscribers through our Subscriber Portal.
Ahead of each general meeting, MSWG also publishes a Quick Take, a concise summary highlighting key company developments, proposed resolutions, and matters of interest to minority shareholders. Additionally, we issue our Pre-Voting Decision, which provides MSWG’s stance on each resolution tabled, guided by our published Voting Guidelines.

Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
The Group recorded revenue of RM9,813.0 million and PBT of RM1,874.6 million for the FY2025 compared to revenue of RM7,882.6 million and PBT of RM1,523.8 million in the FY2024, representing an increase in revenue of 24.5% and PBT of 23.0%.
The higher revenue and PBT were mainly driven by stronger operating performance across most business segments except for the property development and healthcare segments.
MSWG will vote “FOR” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.
Stock Code: 5077
Maybulk Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
For FY2025, Maybulk’s revenue decreased to RM97.79 million from RM94.51 million, while net profit rose by five folds to RM18.44 million from RM2.83 million previously attributed to lower cost of sales and direct operating expenses.
The Shipping Bulker business contributed RM37.76 million of revenue (FY2024: RM37.89 million). Segmental gross profit improved to RM7.93 million from RM3.19 million previously due to scheduled dry-docking activities of Alam Kuasa vessel carried out last year.
Meanwhile, revenue contributed by Shelving & Storage Solution Business decreased from RM56.620 million in FY2024 to RM50.033 million in FY2025 as selling price was lower in tandem with lower purchase cost.
Gross profit declined marginally to RM8.175 million from RM8.239 million in FY2024.
MSWG will vote “AGAINST” Resolution 9 concerning the mandate for share buyback activities.
Maybulk has spent RM40.55 million to repurchase shares over the past two years. The money could have been distributed as dividends to shareholders.
Moreover, there is a gradual increase in the shareholding of controlling shareholder, Dato’ Goh Cheng Huat, upon the commencement of the share buyback activities two years ago, notwithstanding his number of shares remain unchanged.
Stock Code: 5085
Mudajaya Group Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
FY2025 was a tough year for Mudajaya. Revenue dropped 38% to RM230.6 million, and the Group’s profitability leaned heavily on a single overseas power investment in India (investment in RKM Powergen Private Limited) rather than its core construction, manufacturing, and property businesses. Key progress includes lower gearing (but debt level remains high), active asset monetisation and expansion into renewable energy opportunities.
However, concerns remain over declining construction revenue, earnings concentration on a single associate and relatively low shareholder returns.
MSWG will vote “FOR” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.
Stock Code: 5145
Sealink International Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
Sealink recorded a 51% increase in revenue to RM189.6 million in FY2025, primarily driven by higher overall activity levels as offshore activities gained momentum, including the utilisation of third-party vessels to support project requirements and progress revenue recognised from our new-build vessel.
Despite the improvement in revenue, Sealink turned loss-making in FY2025 with net loss attributable to owners of RM4.6 million, from a net profit of RM17.96 million previously.
Operating costs increased due to vessel activation activities undertaken to support increased deployment and operational readiness. These activities involve upfront expenditure, including maintenance, crewing and compliance costs, prior to full revenue contribution.
MSWG will vote “AGAINST” Resolution 5 on the re-election of Mr Lim Yew Hoe given his dual executive directorship in Carimin Petroleum and Sealink .
MSWG is of the view that an executive director should not hold an executive position in another PLC.
Besides, Sealink is deliberating a takeover offer from Carimin. This presents a conflict-of-interest situation given Lim’s dual role in Sealink and Carimin.
Stock Code: 0195
Binasat Communications Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
BINASAT delivered revenue growth of 5.6% to RM118.2 million in FY2025, driven by stronger telecommunications project activities and new contract execution. However, profitability deteriorated sharply with the Group recording a net loss of RM11.2 million versus a RM2.1 million profit in FY2024.
Gross margin fell from 15.0% to 9.0% due to higher labour, subcontractor and material costs, lower-margin contracts and an RM8 million receivables impairment.
Despite losses, the balance sheet remained healthy with low gearing of 0.12 times. Looking ahead, the Group aims to improve margins, monetise property investments and capitalise on digital infrastructure spending.
MSWG will vote “FOR” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.

Signature International Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
The order book is stated as RM1.28 billion as at 31 December 2025 (Page 34 of AR 2025), matching the prior year’s audited revenue still to be recognised on contracts of RM1,288.9 million rather than the current year’s RM1,126.8 million, which is down 12.6% and excludes contracts of one year or less (Page 231 of AR 2025).
Contract assets rose to RM247.3 million, now larger than trade receivables, while operating cash flow halved from RM108.9 million to RM50.6 million (Page 170 and Page 33 of AR 2025).
- Can the Company confirm whether the order book is current as at 31 December 2025 or reflects the prior year’s figure? How much comprises contracts of one year or less excluded from the audited figure?
- Apart from the RM71.0 million of retention sum receivables are expected to be collected within the period range from 1 to 4 years (Page 230 of AR 2025), what is the ageing of the remaining contract assets? How much remains unbilled for more than twelve months?

Zen Tech International Berhad
Date:
Meeting Type: AGM
The external auditors have issued a Qualified Opinion on the financial statements as they were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding several critical transactions, namely:
- loss on disposal of subsidiary of RM3.875 million;
- impairment loss of associates of RM6.125 million; and
- profit guarantee receivable of RM2.3 million.
(Page 110 of the annual report (AR) 2025)
- Why supporting documents are not available to the auditors?
- What specific actions have been taken to resolve these issues?
- Does the Board expect these audit qualifications to be resolved in the next audit cycle? If not, what are the remaining obstacles?
- With regard to the acquisition of Alpha Fintech Sdn. Bhd., was there any recourse available to the Company in the event that the vendor failed to meet the guaranteed minimum profit targets? If not, what were the reasons for the absence of safeguards to protect the Company’s interests?
The external auditors draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group and the Company incurred a net loss of RM19,517,129 and RM11,514,800 respectively during the financial year ended 31 December 2025 and that the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RM8,748,483 as at that date. As stated in Note 3, these conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. (Page 110 of the AR 2025)
- How does the Board plan to address the abovementioned issues highlighted by the external auditors?
- On the issue of current liabilities exceeding current assets, is the Company able to meet its short-term obligations in FY2026?

The Group commenced systematic biodiversity data collection and assessments in FY2025, including biodiversity risk evaluations, identification of protected or restored habitats, and screening against the IUCN Red List and relevant national conservation lists.
The enhanced disclosures in FY2025 and FY2026 reflect improvements in sustainability data management systems, a broader assessment scope, and strengthened internal reporting controls.
Details of the relevant biodiversity and environmental performance indicators are disclosed on page 69 of the Annual Report 2026.
- The Group increased biodiversity risk assessment coverage from 10% in FY2025 to 60% in FY2026. What is the target timeline for completing assessments across the remaining operations and projects?
- We note that protected or restored habitat areas increased from 46.69 hectares in FY2025 to 53.87 hectares in FY2026. What percentage of the Group’s total landbank is currently allocated to habitat protection or restoration?
- As formal biodiversity assessments commenced only in FY2025, what assurance can the Board provide that the FY2026 biodiversity data is complete and reliable, given that the Sustainability Statement has not been subject to independent external assurance? Does the Group plan to pursue external assurance in the future?
