You also have the right to timely, accurate, and reliable disclosures, including annual reports and Bursa announcements, to make informed investment decisions.

At MSWG, we ensure these rights are upheld by monitoring companies, raising concerns, and advocating for greater transparency and accountability, so that your voice is heard, and your rights are truly exercised. 

Remember: your rights matter. And when you know your rights, you can help shape better companies and a stronger capital market.

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.

Leong Hup International Berhad

Date:
12.06.2026 - 11:00 am
Meeting Type: AGM

The Group’s FY2025 revenue dipped slightly to RM8.8 billion from RM9.3 billion the year before, mainly due to lower contributions from the Feedmill division. Despite lower sales, the Group achieved a 2.3% increase in EBITDA to RM1.2 billion. This marginal improvement was driven by lower poultry feed costs, resulting from a downward trend in global prices for corn and soybean meal.

 

MSWG will vote “for” all resolutions tabled in the meeting. 

Stock Code: 5286

MI Technovation Berhad

Date:
12.06.2026 - 10:00 am
Meeting Type: AGM

MI’s revenue increased 34.9% to RM625.0 million in FY2025 while PBT increased 29.3% to RM123.4 million. Growth was driven by higher equipment deliveries and strong demand for advanced packaging solutions, particularly in China and Taiwan. However, margins softened slightly due to foreign exchange losses from a weaker US dollar.

 

Operating cash flow more than tripled to RM142.4 million, reflecting improved profitability and working capital management.

 

Strategically, MI expanded beyond its core businesses by establishing STBU (SiC power semiconductors) and VTBU (electric vehicle powertrain systems), positioning itself for long-term growth in AI infrastructure, renewable energy and EV markets.

 

MSWG will vote “for” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.

Supercomnet Technologies Berhad

Date:
12.06.2026 - 10:00 am
Meeting Type: AGM

SUPERCOMNET recorded a 5.4% decline in revenue to RM141.8 million in FY2025 while PBT declined 21% to RM32.3 million. The weaker performance was mainly due to softer industrial and automotive demand, a weaker US dollar against the ringgit, higher labour costs from minimum wage and foreign worker EPF requirements and a RM2 million automotive impairment.

 

Against the weaker performance, the underlying fundamentals of the Group’s core medical segment remained intact, with demand continuing to demonstrate resilience. Operating cash flow surged 75% to RM36.0 million, reflecting improved working capital management.

 

The Group remains committed to strengthening its capacity and capabilities through higher-value medical products, AI-enabled smart cables, and increased automation.

 

MSWG will vote “for” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.

Chin Hin Group Berhad

Date:
11.06.2026 - 2:00 pm
Meeting Type: AGM

Despite higher revenue of RM4.09 billion in FY2025 (+25.85% y-o-y, FY2024: RM3.25 billion), profit for the financial year grew marginally by 1.37% to RM218.45 million from RM215.49 million previously. This reflects significant margin compression at the Group’s bottom line, notwithstanding a deliberate strategy to preserve margins and tighter control over project execution risks.

 

Against the higher revenue and profit before minority interests, Chin Hin’s net profit attributable to shareholders declined to RM102.82 million compared to RM114.82 million.

 

MSWG will vote “against” Ordinary Resolutions 5 & 6 on the retention of two long-serving INEDs.

Stock Code: 5703

Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd

Date:
11.06.2026 - 2:00 pm
Meeting Type: AGM

The Group reported lower revenue of RM1.8 billion (FY2024: RM2.4 billion) for FY2025, but managed to chalk up higher PBT of RM177.8 million (FY2024: RM173.3 million), due to finalisation of claims for several projects completed during the financial year.

 

MSWG will vote “for” all resolutions tabled in the meeting.

Chin Hin Group Berhad

Date:
11.06.2026 - 2:00 pm
Meeting Type: AGM

The IntraBuild ecosystem forms the cornerstone of Chin Hin’s corporate strategy, integrating the Group’s upstream, midstream and downstream activities across Building Materials Manufacturing and Trading, Construction Engineering, Property Development and Home & Living solutions (page 29 of Annual Report 2025).

 

On the upside, this approach enhances operational synergies, improves earnings visibility and mitigates certain external disruptions throughout the project lifecycle. On the contrary, it may also increase interdependencies among the Group’s business segments, e.g., a slowdown in project launches within the Property Development segment could result in a cascading impact on the demand for Construction Engineering, Building Materials and related offerings.

 

  • To what extent is the Group’s earnings profile exposed to such concentration and interdependency risks?

 

  • Accordingly, what is the proportion of revenue and profit generated from internally sourced projects and third-party customers over the past three financial years?

 

  • Given the cyclical nature of the property and construction sectors, how does the Group assess and manage the risk that a slowdown in any one segment could trigger adverse knock-on effects across the broader IntraBuild ecosystem?

 

  • From a strategic perspective, what is the Group’s target balance between internal and external revenue sources? Does the current level of reliance on internal projects remain appropriate and sustainable over the long term?

 

  • To what degree is each business segment commercially sustainable and competitive on a standalone basis, without undue reliance on projects originating from within the Group?

Genting Berhad

Date:
11.06.2026 - 10:00 am
Meeting Type: AGM
  1. Consolidated gearing at 47% leaves Genting with little room to manoeuver as it simultaneously funds the RWS 2.0 overhaul and the expansion at New York Aqueduct site.

 

  • The rating downgrade by Moody’s to Baa3, the lowest investment grade, from Baa2 reflects Genting’s prolonged deleveraging and amid slower recovery (Source: The Edge, 8 December 2025)

 

  • What specific leverage triggers or internal thresholds will prompt management to slow down on Capex to protect the Group’s investment-grade rating?

 

  1. The operating challenges at RWLV, particularly the decline in visitor traffic and the need to continue waiving resort and parking fees through the end of 2025, are a concern. While the roll out of an upgraded hotel management system, enabling full ownership and control of its customer database is an important step in modernizing customer engagement capabilities, it is fundamentally a backend initiative.

 

  • What new customer insights or data-driven capabilities will the new system provide that were not previously available, and how will these be used to improve customer acquisition, retention and spending? More importantly, when does management expect the platform to begin generating a measurable increase in higher-margin repeat visitation and casino-hosted play sufficient to offset the revenue impact of the fee waivers?

Genting Malaysia Berhad

Date:
10.06.2026 - 10:00 am
Meeting Type: AGM

To secure a downstate New York commercial license, RWNYC committed to a USD600 million upfront fee and a USD5.5 billion expansion roadmap through 2030. Funding the license fee required drawing down USD755 million from a new credit facility, triggering a 34% spike in finance costs that drove a 1Q2026 net loss of RM25.2 million. Notably, while tier-one global operators withdrew from the race due to regulatory hurdles and low expected returns, Genting accepted a steep 56% slot tax rate to proceed.

 

  • Why does the Board believe GenM can extract a viable, wealth-creating return from this asset when global competitors with much larger balance sheets concluded that the regulatory hurdles and high tax structures made the numbers mathematically unviable? What proprietary operational advantages does the executive team possess that justify overriding the cautionary stance taken by the rest of the global gaming industry?

 

  • The USD5.5 billion expansion plan requires precise, long-term capital execution. What explicit fixed-price engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts have been signed to insulate Genting Malaysia from localised raw material and labour cost inflation in New York? If construction cost overruns cause the required capital expenditure to exceed USD5.5 billion materially, what fallback funding mechanisms are available to the Group?

Sime Darby Property Berhad

Meeting Type: AGM
  1. The Group has identified climate risks, including flooding and transition risks, but has not quantified the financial impact. (Source: Page 125 and 126 of Annual Report 2025)

 

  • When will the Board be able to disclose estimated climate-related capex, potential asset impairment exposure and expected impact on margins and cash flows?

 

 

  1. The physical climate risk assessment currently covers only seven townships and relies on high-level desktop tools. (Source: Page 203 of Annual Report 2025)

 

  • What percentage of the Group’s total landbank, GDV and investment assets has not yet been assessed for physical climate risk?

Pegasus Heights Berhad

Date:
08.06.2026 - 10:30 am
Meeting Type: AGM

Bayan Development Sdn. Bhd. (“Plaintiff” or “BDSB”) has commenced civil proceedings on 8 December 2025 against Siaw Swee Hin, Tai Hock Teong, and Pegasus Heights Berhad (“PHB”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) via a Writ of Summons dated the same date.

 

The claim against PHB amounts to RM3,200,334, allegedly relating to payments made for Project Management Consultancy Services which were not rendered under a Letter of Award dated 5 June 2015. PHB has denied the allegations and has also filed a counterclaim.

 

As at the reporting date, the matter remains ongoing and is subject to court proceedings, with no admission of liability by PHB. (Source: Page 157 of AR2025)

 

  • The allegation that services were not rendered despite payment raises concerns over possible weaknesses in internal controls and verification processes and may require further independent review.

 

  • Has an independent review been undertaken to verify the delivery of the consultancy services and to assess whether there were any possible control weaknesses in the payment approval process?

 

  • Did the Internal Audit function review this project and the related consultancy payments, and if so, what were the key findings and recommendations arising from the review? Please explain.

 

  • Has the Board considered the worst-case financial impact of the RM3,200,334 claim together with legal costs, and its effect on the Group’s overall financial position?
