MICG is honoured to lead the development and implementation of the Governance Code for Malaysian MSMEs. Aligned with the 12th Malaysia Plan and the National Entrepreneurship Policy 2030, this initiative aims to enhance transparency, integrity, and competitiveness in our business landscape. The development of this Code is supported by the Securities Commission Malaysia, Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development (MEDC) and SME Corp. Malaysia. MSMEs are an integral part of the Malaysian economy, accounting for 97.4% of the country’s business establishments. This collaborative effort underscores our commitment to empowering MSMEs with robust governance practices tailored to their needs. "As we embark on this journey to enhance governance practices among Malaysian MSMEs, we recognize their pivotal role in our economy. This Code reflects our commitment to fostering transparency, integrity, and sustainable growth within the MSME sector. By empowering these enterprises with effective governance frameworks, and continued guidance reflective of their size, scope and industry sector, we aim to help unlock their full potential and contribution to a vibrant and resilient business landscape." Sujatha Sekhar Naik, Chairman, Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance. The Code focuses specifically on governance practices, including those required to ensure clear accountability for decision-making in relation to the management of sustainability risks and opportunities for a company. The governance practices in the Code are recommended based on the size and business maturity spectrum of MSMEs. The Code also aligns with the principles of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG), the ESG Quick Guide by SME Corporation Malaysia and the Simplified ESG Disclosure Guide by Capital Market Malaysia.

Robust governance in turbulent times: successful panels at IRSPM😁 Rising societal turbulence forces public decisionmakers to adapt and innovate public governance to uphold core public goals, values and functions. This insight is intensely discussed in a stream of agenda-setting panels at the IRSPM conference in Tampere. The stream is organized by the EU Horizon ROBUST project. In the first panel, we had to bring in 10 extra chairs into an already packed seminar room to accommodate demand. It was like a Finish sauna, but the intellectual excitement about the new ideas was huge. Thanks for all for your presentations and interventions so far...

Have you already compiled the Activity Program and Performance Indicators, but still not regular and linear? I have shared the methods and strategies with the participants of the second session of Online Class held on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. This time the topic we discussed was related to the preparation of Performance Indicators, Strategic Goals, Programs, and Activities of the Strategic Plan of K/L/PD’s (Ministry/Institution/Regional Apparatus). Again and again the enthusiasm of the participants made today's discussion very active because it was not only theory that we discussed but case examples of problems from several participants that made this discussion lively. We even discussed the draft Renstra that each participant had prepared. I would like to thank all participants who have fully participated in the online class activities on the first day to the second day, I hope that the insights that have been conveyed can help friends in optimizing the preparation of the Renstra of their respective Ministry/Institution/Regional Apparatus. See you in the next activity!
