  • Explanatory Note on Special Business
    Ordinary Resolution No. 8
    The Nomination and Remuneration Committee conducted an annual performance evaluation and assessment of Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe, who has served as Independent Non- Executive Director for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years. Given the Company’s core business is planting oil palms that mature in four years and reach prime age in seven years, the Board is of the opinion long-serving directors are appropriate for plantation companies where a long-term prospective is paramount. Therefore, the Board recommends retaining Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company.
