State-owned enterprises (SOEs) or Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) play a pivotal role in Malaysia’s economy, and their significant influence demands rigorous governance frameworks. In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into the state of SOE governance in Malaysia and the key challenges, including conflicts of interest, and spotlight the Guidelines on Governance for SOEs and Government-Linked Companies Limited by Guarantee, which aims to strengthen accountability, clarify the roles of supervisory ministries, and enforce merit-based board appointments—including at least one-third independent directors.

Tune in to discover insights on fortifying SOE governance, preventing conflicts of interest, and maintaining vital public confidence.
