What sources of documents, data or information are deemed as reliable? Can a company secretary seek SSM’s or BNM’s confirmation to determine the level of reliability?

Answer:
Verification can be a combination of various data points that the financial institution deems to be “reliable and independent” which could cumulatively ensure the veracity of customer and beneficial owner’s identification data. Any measures adopted should be subjected to the company secretary’s internal governance process.

Generally, company secretaries would verify the identity through acceptable government issued documents with or without photograph (e.g. MyKad, MyKid, MyPR, OKU card, driving licence, birth certificate, marriage certificate), foreign passport, employee identification documents, etc.

Alternatively, subject to the company secretary’s assessment whether it is appropriate to mitigate the risks, company secretaries may accept scanned or copy documentation and apply additional measures which include:

(i) third party verification of identity from the client’s primary bank account provider, lawyer or accountant;

(ii) corroborative evidence from Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara, SSM and Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) databases;

(iii) use of commercial providers who triangulate data sources to verify documentation provided;

(iv) use of new and robust technology solutions including but not limited to, biometric technologies which should be linked incontrovertibly to the customer;

(v) through non face-to-face mechanisms e.g. video conference with customers and submission of selfies to compare the physical identity of a customer with scanned or photographed copies of identification documents; and/or

(vi) other reliable and independent source.

Company secretaries are expected to undertake adequate and reasonable measures to mitigate risks arising from the adoption of any non face-to-face mechanisms.

Is there a specific template to conduct the IRA?

Answer:
There is no standard template to conduct the IRA. Reporting institutions may refer to Appendix 8 of the SSM’s guidelines as a guidance to assist the conduct of ML/TF risk assessment collectively at the institutional level.

While Appendix 8 has generally covered the basic requirements, it should not be treated as the sole reference in conducting the risk assessment as the list of factors or examples or criteria are not exhaustive.

Are company secretaries required to assess the ML/TF risks based on all criteria specified in the SSM’s guidelines?

Answer:
In profiling the customers, company secretaries are required to take appropriate steps to identify, assess and understand risks by considering the relevant factors. In cases where some of the criteria are irrelevant to the company secretary’s business, those criteria may not be considered in profiling and assessing the risks of the customers.

09/06/2026

What is the expectation for company secretaries in conducting their institutional risk assessment (IRA)? Can the IRA be thematic and how frequent must it be conducted?

Answer:
Paragraph 8 of the SSM’s guidelines require company secretaries to identify, assess and understand their ML/TF risk in relation to the following parameters:

(i) customers;
(ii) countries or geographical areas;
(iii) products, services, transactions or delivery channels; and
(iv) other relevant risk factors.

Company secretaries’ first IRA must be comprehensive, covering all the above-mentioned parameters i.e. customers, countries/geographical areas and products/ services/ transactions and delivery channel, at minimum. Company secretaries may choose to update the IRA on a thematic basis.

Company secretaries may consider to set the frequency of the IRA on a specific period e.g. every 1 to 2 years or where circumstances have changed that may warrant a refresh of the IRA, e.g. material changes in risk profile, significant internal audit finding, changes in business direction, new typologies suggested by authorities or the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), or when embarking in new technologies, etc.

Register a Malaysian Sdn Bhd Under a Foreign Shareholding

Structure
Some founders choose to set up their Malaysian Sdn Bhd under a foreign holding company structure because it can create a stronger international brand image and improve credibility with overseas clients, investors, and partners.

Common foreign holding entities include:

• US LLC
• Singapore Pte Ltd
• Hong Kong Limited

These structures are often perceived as more globally established and investor-friendly, especially in international business environments.

As a result, founders may structure their business as:

Typical Structure
Foreign Parent Company
↓
Malaysian Sdn Bhd (Subsidiary)

This allows the Malaysian company to operate locally while ownership is held by the foreign entity.
________________________________________
Why Founders Use This Structure

1. Stronger International Positioning
A foreign holding company can make the business appear more global and scalable, particularly when dealing with:

• international clients
• overseas investors
• cross-border partnerships
• global payment providers

For example, a Singapore or US entity may create greater confidence during fundraising or enterprise sales discussions.
________________________________________
2. Easier Regional Expansion

A foreign parent company can simplify expansion into multiple countries by allowing different subsidiaries to sit under one centralized holding structure.

Example:
• Singapore Pte Ltd (Holding Company)
o Malaysia Sdn Bhd
o Indonesia PT
o Thailand Co., Ltd.
________________________________________
3. Investor Preference
Many international investors are more familiar with jurisdictions such as:

• Singapore
• Delaware (USA)
• Hong Kong

Some venture capital firms prefer investing into a foreign holding company instead of directly into a Malaysian entity.
________________________________________
4. Centralized Ownership & IP Management
Founders may place:

• intellectual property (IP)
• trademarks
• software ownership
• regional contracts

under the foreign parent company while the Malaysian Sdn Bhd handles local operations.
________________________________________
Important Considerations
While this structure can offer branding and strategic advantages, founders should also evaluate:

• tax implications
• compliance requirements
• banking setup
• transfer pricing rules
• foreign ownership regulations
• accounting obligations in multiple jurisdictions

Professional legal and tax advice is strongly recommended before implementing a cross-border structure.
________________________________________
Common Setup Example
Singapore Holding Structure

ABC Holdings Pte Ltd (Singapore)
↓ owns 100% of
ABC Malaysia Sdn Bhd

The Malaysian company operates locally while profits, ownership, and regional strategy are managed through the Singapore entity.
________________________________________
Is This Structure Necessary?

Not always.
A locally owned Malaysian Sdn Bhd is fully sufficient for many businesses. However, a foreign holding structure may make sense if the company plans to:

• raise international funding
• scale regionally
• serve global clients
• build a multinational brand
• optimize future group structuring

The best structure depends on the company’s long-term goals, investor plans, and operational needs.

Registering a Malaysian Sdn Bhd Under a Foreign Shareholding Structure

Why Some Founders Use a Foreign Holding Structure

Many entrepreneurs believe that foreign corporate structures create a stronger international image and improve credibility with overseas clients, investors, payment providers, and global partners.
Common examples include:

• US LLC
• Singapore Pte Ltd
• Hong Kong Limited

These entities are often perceived as more globally established, investor-friendly, or internationally scalable.
________________________________________
Typical Structure Used
Founders commonly create:

1. Foreign Parent Company
Examples:
• US LLC
• Singapore Pte Ltd
• Hong Kong Ltd

This company becomes the main holding entity.

2. Malaysian Subsidiary (Sdn Bhd)
The Malaysian company operates locally while being owned partially or fully by the foreign parent company.

Why Founders Choose This Structure

International Brand Positioning
A foreign parent company can make the business appear more global and attractive to international clients.

Example:
• “XYZ Global Pte Ltd” may sound more international than a locally registered entity alone.
________________________________________
Easier Access to Global Markets
Some founders use foreign entities to:

• open international payment gateways
• receive USD revenue
• work with global SaaS platforms
• access Stripe, PayPal, or US banking systems
• sign contracts with overseas clients
________________________________________
Investor Preference
Certain investors are more comfortable investing into:

• Singapore companies
• Delaware LLCs or C-Corps
• Hong Kong entities

This is especially common for:
• tech startups
• SaaS companies
• Web3 or AI businesses
• regional expansion companies
________________________________________
Tax and Holding Flexibility
A foreign holding company may offer:

• easier equity structuring
• regional ownership management
• intellectual property holding
• future fundraising flexibility

However, tax implications vary significantly and professional advice is essential.
________________________________________
Important Considerations
Malaysian Regulations Still Apply
Even if the shareholder is foreign, the Malaysian Sdn Bhd must still comply with:

• SSM regulations
• local tax requirements
• licensing requirements
• payroll and employment laws
________________________________________
Foreign Ownership Rules Depend on Industry
Some industries in Malaysia allow:

• 100% foreign ownership

Others may require:

• local directors
• Bumiputera participation
• special licenses or approvals

Examples include:
• education
• fintech
• logistics
• wholesale & retail trade
________________________________________
Substance Matters
Simply creating a foreign company does not automatically create credibility.
Clients and investors usually evaluate:

• actual business operations
• financial performance
• compliance
• team quality
• market traction

A weak business with a foreign structure still appears weak.
________________________________________
Common Setup Examples
Option 1 — Singapore Holding + Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Best for:

• ASEAN expansion
• investor readiness
• regional operations
________________________________________
Option 2 — US LLC + Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Best for:
• US SaaS businesses
• Stripe access
• global online services
________________________________________
Option 3 — Hong Kong Holding + Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Best for:
• China/Hong Kong trade connections
• holding structure simplicity
• lower operating overhead
________________________________________
Strategic Perspective
A foreign holding structure can help with:
• international perception
• fundraising preparation
• global payment infrastructure
• regional expansion planning

But it should be built for real operational or strategic reasons — not purely for appearance.
The ideal structure depends on:

• your target market
• investor plans
• tax considerations
• banking requirements
• long-term expansion strategy
