Ms Tan Hwa Imm has been serving as an Executive Director of a company listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange since 31 May 2001, and is well-versed in her role as a director of a listed company. After reviewing her experience, the Nominating Committee is of the view that Ms Tan Hwa Imm possesses the necessary experience as a director of a listed company and is therefore not required to undergo the Exchange's prescribed training on the roles and responsibilities of a director of a listed issuer. Nonetheless, she will attend other relevant training sessions as needed.
