providing leadership to ensure the effective operation of the Board. I am fortunate to have the support of all Directors in this endeavour. The annual Board Evaluation Assessment (BEA) serves as a valuable tool for the Board to reflect on its functioning and identify areas for enhancement. This year, the BEA was conducted by an independent expert in accordance with Practice 6.1 of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2021 (MCCG). The findings from this assessment have yielded valuable insights that will guide us in further refining the operations and effectiveness of the Board. BOARD CHANGES The Board is committed to maintaining a diverse mix of skills, experience and expertise to effectively fulfill its responsibilities and address the dynamic landscape ahead. With a keen eye on succession planning, wehave established a robust process for selecting, nominating and appointing candidates to the Board. Entrusted with this responsibility, the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee (BNRC) rigorously evaluates potential candidates, considering their capabilities, commitment and suitability for Board and Committee roles. This evaluation encompasses a range of factors, including diversity, skillsets, backgrounds, relevant experience and fit and proper assessment, ensuring a well-rounded composition of Board members. In line with our governance framework, the Board may appoint new Directors to fill vacancies or augment the existing Board structure. As per our Company’s Constitution, the Minister of Finance (Incorporated) (MoF Inc.), our Special Shareholder, holds the authority to appoint up to six (6) Directors. Currently, our Board comprises 12 members, including one (1) Executive Director and 11 Non-Executive Directors, with six (6) Independent Directors. These Independent Directors bring unbiased judgment, free from any conflicts of interest, ensuring robust decision-making processes. We continue to refine our Board composition, balancing experience, expertise and innovative perspectives. Several changes
