Document background
The Articles of Association Constitution is a mandatory document required for company incorporation in Malaysia under the Companies Act 2016. This document replaces the traditional Memorandum and Articles of Association system, following Malaysia's corporate law reform. It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining the relationship between the company and its stakeholders, establishing governance structures, and setting operational parameters. The document must comply with Malaysian regulatory requirements while providing flexibility for business operations. It's particularly crucial during company formation, corporate restructuring, or when updating governance frameworks to align with current legislation or business needs. The Constitution becomes binding upon all members and officers of the company once adopted.
