III. BOARD BALANCE AND INDEPENDENCE
There are ten members of the Board, comprising an Executive Director (who is also the CEO) and nine Non-Executive Directors
(including the Chairman). Five of the Non-Executive Directors including the Chairman are independent and hence fulfil the
prescribed requirements for one-third of the membership of the Board to be Independent Board Members. The Board comprises
members of high calibre and integrity from diverse professional backgrounds, skills, extensive experience and knowledge in the
areas of telecommunications, Information Technology, entertainment, finance, business, general management, strategy, sales and
distribution as well as human resources as required for the successful direction of the Group.
With its diversity of skills, the Board has been able to provide clear and effective collective leadership to the Group and has brought
informed and independent judgment to the Group’s strategy and performance to ensure that the highest standards of conduct and
integrity are always at the core of the Group. None of the Non-Executive Directors participate in the day-to-day management of
the Group.
The presence of the Independent Non-Executive Directors is essential in providing unbiased and impartial opinion, advice and
judgment to Board deliberations to ensure that the interests, not only of the Group, but also of its shareholders, employees,
customers, suppliers and other communities in which the Group conducts its business are well-represented and taken into
account.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors thus play a key role in corporate accountability. The assessment of the independence of
each of its Independent Non-Executive Directors is undertaken twice a year according to set criteria as prescribed by the MMLR.
As part of the Board’s yearly appraisal and self-assessment, the Board is of the view that its size is adequate for the effective
discharge of its functions and responsibilities. As recommended by the Code, the tenure of directorship should form also part of
the assessment criteria for independence of a Director. The relevant process and procedures have been provided for in the Board
Charter and Terms of Reference of the NC. In the event that shareholders’ approval is sought to enable an independent Director to
retain his designation as an Independent Director after having served a tenure of nine years, the NC is tasked to assess and assist
the Board in recommending and providing justification for shareholders’ consideration and approval in such instances.
