Physical gatherings no matter how small are prohibited.

According to the Revised Guidance Note, an online meeting platform can be recognised as the meeting venue or place under Section 327(2) of Companies Act 2016 provided that the online platform is located in Malaysia.

The Board, having given due consideration to the above, wishes to inform that the venue of the 50th AGM shall be changed from the Broadcast Venue to online meeting platform of Boardroom Share Registrars Sdn Bhd at https://web.lumiagm.com in Malaysia.

Apart from the change in venue, all information in the Notice of 50th AGM of the Company dated 30 April 2021 and the Administrative Guide for the 50th AGM remains unchanged.
