We Can Help You In The Following Practice Areas

1. Am I personally liable as a director in Malaysia?

Yes. Directors in Malaysia owe statutory and fiduciary duties under the Companies Act 2016 and common law. Breaches may result in personal civil liability, disqualification, or criminal exposure in serious cases. Acting with majority approval or good intentions does not automatically protect a director.

2. What happens if I signed a personal guarantee for my company?

Personal guarantees are enforceable in Malaysia and are treated as separate contracts under the Contracts Act 1950. Liability may continue even after resignation, repayment restructuring, or changes to the company unless a formal release is obtained. Malaysian courts regularly enforce clearly drafted guarantees.

3. Are living trusts recognised in Malaysia?

Yes. Living trusts are recognised and commonly used for estate and succession planning. However, they do not replace wills, do not automatically override inheritance laws, and must comply with Malaysian requirements on asset transfer and stamp duty. They are most effective when used as part of a coordinated estate plan.

4. Do founders in Malaysia need a shareholders’ agreement?

While not legally mandatory, a shareholders’ agreement is strongly advisable where there is more than one shareholder. The Companies Act 2016 does not regulate exits, deadlocks, or private arrangements between shareholders, which are typically addressed contractually.
