b. Board composition and guidance
(Principle 2)
The Company believes that there should be a strong and independent element on the Board
to exercise objective judgment on corporate affairs. Hence, of the six directors appointed,
three are non-executive and independent, and the Audit Committee, Remuneration
Committee and the Nominating Committee are constituted in compliance with the Code. The
Company also believes that the non-executive and independent directors should be selected
for their diverse expertise to provide a balance of views.
Our Directors’ profles are set out on pages 9 and 10 of this Annual Report. Our Board
members have the appropriate breadth and depth of expertise and experience in the areas
of accounting, fnance, business, management, industry knowledge and strategic planning.
