We now have positive examples of CG in Volume 10. Locally, Micro Mechanics is used as the example of good CG.

Thank you WJ.

I had observed that Prof Mak in MMH's AGM for quite sometime already.

I just wonder whether he is vested or not.

Gratitude.

Final volume but it seems Prof Mak will be back soon in the future with much more freedom!

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CASE STUDIES VOLUME 11: THE FINAL VOLUME

Corporate governance cases often raise issues that are controversial or sensitive. Those who follow my work know that I speak and write about corporate governance issues without fear or favour. I believe the final decision as to whether a case study should be published should rest with me, but this may not always be possible under the current arrangement.

Many have told me that they will miss the case studies. I hope that the series can be rebooted fairly quickly under a different arrangement. It may be that a new series will include more cases that deal with the “E” and “S” issues in ESG, as some of the cases already do.  However, corporate governance will continue to provide the foundation for future cases, including cases covering broader sustainability issues.

After a 2year hiatus, Prof Mak and his legion of students are back, without fear and with funding!

Case Studies in Corporate Governance and Ethics, 2024 Series

I am delighted to introduce this inaugural publication, Case Studies in Corporate Governance and Ethics: 2024 series, from the newly-established Centre for Investor Protection at the NUS Business School.

This 2024 series includes 25 case studies in three volumes. Volume 1 comprises nine Singaporean cases, volume 2 includes 11 cases from Asia-Pacific, and volume 3 includes five cases from the rest of the world.

This publication and the establishment of the Centre for Investor Protection would not be possible without the generous donation from a donor who believes in the importance of corporate governance and investor protection for a robust capital market. I am deeply grateful to this donor.

An interesting interview of a retired ID by Prof Mak - probably helping to confirm suspicion from OPMIs' observations over the years.

Have included a link to Mr Tan Lye Huat's bio and that should help VBs to connect the dots easily.

REFLECTIONS OF AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR Interview of Tan Lye Huat by Mak Yuen Teen

MYT: Did you encounter situations where busy IDs resigned when the company needed more of their time, citing personal interest, other commitments or health reasons?

TLH: No, but they would rather “free ride” on others, relying on them to provide views and which they would then belatedly agree with. They might later find an excuse or ask to leave and then cite the erroneous reason.

MYT: That’s interesting. Can you share an example of a situation where a director was classified as independent but you did not consider him to be so?

TLH: One sat on the board of a listed parent and a listed subsidiary but was considered independent on both. He would say he was not a nominee on the parent board but in my view, he was appointed because he was well-liked by the family. Although technically he could be considered independent on both boards under the Code, I did not consider him to be so.
