The extent to which a company resolution can be amended depends on the type of resolution which is involved. Special and ordinary resolutions are to be changed in different ways. A special resolution is not allowed to be amended except with regard to minor details such as the correction of grammatical or spelling errors.

Ordinary resolutions can be amended regardless of whether either the text of the resolution or merely the general nature of the business is involved. Any amendments made to company resolutions of a Malaysian company are to be related to the content of the resolution itself, not result in additional burdens to become imposed on the company, and not undo the effects of any related resolutions.
