Can a foreigner be one of the shareholder of a SDN BHD which is owned by Malaysian?
Does the Malaysian have to be the majority of the shares in his company? or it can be equal with the rest of the shareholders?
Hi Mel,
Yes, a foreigner can be one of the shareholder of a SDN BHD and the Malaysian does not need to have majority of the shares.
Malaysia allows companies to be 100% foreign owned. This means that you have a free hand and enjoy a great deal of flexibility with your company structure.
However, if you are looking into applying for specific licenses, you may need to have local shareholders.
