AGM minutes – going viral?

THE Internet plays a big part in our lives these days, so it was only a matter of time that a bright spark would ask if minutes of annual general meetings (AGMs), particularly of public-listed companies, should be posted online as more investors demand increased transparency?

The common legal position in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore is that such minutes must be recorded and entered into books, which are then kept so that these can be inspected by a company’s shareholders.
