Independent Non-Executive Director — Sustainability & Supply Chain

Malaysia·Agribusiness & Food·Plantations & Agribusiness·Posted 29 August 2026

Bursa Main Market-listed agribusiness group

The problem this seat exists to solve

Two independent directors reach the twelve-year cumulative cap in the Listing Requirements within the same year, and the board is below the MCCG 2021 expectation of 30% women directors for a large company.

The remit

Oversee sustainability certification, traceability and supply-chain due diligence
Serve on the audit or risk committee through a period of board renewal
Contribute to the group's response to importing-market deforestation regulation
Support the transition as two long-tenured independent directors reach the tenure cap

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Board or senior executive experience in agribusiness, commodities or consumer supply chains
Working knowledge of sustainability certification and traceability regimes
Willingness to complete the Bursa mandatory accreditation programme after appointment
Prior listed-company governance experience in any market

Terms

Engagement: Three-year term, renewable within the twelve-year cumulative cap.
Compensation: MYR 140,000 – 200,000 a year including committee fees.
Cross-border: The company already satisfies the two-resident-director requirement in Companies Act 2016 s.196; no nationality test applies to this appointment.
Time commitment in this market: Typically 5–8 board meetings a year, plus audit-committee cycles that are heavier than the regional norm because of quarterly reporting.

Before you apply — Malaysia

No nationality test applies to you. A public company must have two directors ordinarily resident in Malaysia; beyond that, seats are open to non-residents.

Residency test: Two directors with a principal place of residence in Malaysia (Companies Act 2016, s.196). A listed issuer satisfies this long before it approaches an outside candidate.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require an employment pass. Executive and interim operating roles do, and are handled through the Expatriate Services Division or MDEC depending on sector.
Tenure limit once appointed: Twelve cumulative years, as a listing requirement rather than a code practice — no shareholder override.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
