Tenure of Independent Directors

approval for the retention of the independent status of

(appointed 1 December 2004), Datuk Azzat Kamaludin
(appointed on 01 September 1994), Dr. Yoong Fook

of Independent Directors
The Board recommends that the tenure of Zainah Mustafa,
Datuk Azzat Kamaludin, Dr Yoong Fook Ngian and Dr Kok
Chin Leong as Independent Board Members be retained
subject to the shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming
Annual General Meeting (AGM), on the basis of their
strong professionalism, competencies and vast experience
in the healthcare industry and corporate world.
Separate Positions of the Chairman and
President and Managing Director
The Chairman as well as the President and Managing
Director of the Company are held by two separate
individuals. This complies with the requirements of MCCG
