Why is the Malaysian resident director quoted separately?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Because the fee depends on the role you need and the risk of your activity. The director is a real officer with legal duties, is recorded with SSM and has to be comfortable with the business. If you or a colleague already live in Malaysia, you do not need this service at all.
