The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance was developed by the Working Group on Best Practices in Corporate Governance (JPK1) and approved by the Finance Committee on Corporate Governance. JPK1 was chaired by the Chairman of the Federation of Public Listed Companies and comprised representatives from private and public sectors. The Code aims to set out principles and best practices on corporate governance structures and processes at the micro-level, such as board composition and procedures. It allows for a more flexible approach to raising governance standards than regulation. Investor confidence in Malaysia was affected during the 1997/98 Asian Financial Crisis and the Code was issued in 2000 to strengthen corporate governance.

IMPROVING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE USING CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES THROUG...Fahad Mahmud Mirza
Corporate Governance is generally a skeleton of rules and practices by which a board of directors ensures accountability, equality, and lucidity in the firm's relationship. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an effort to operate a company or a business organization in an economical and socially sustaining environment. This paper is written keeping in view, the major and minor bits necessary of administering a corporation governance and the increasing importance and adaptation of CSR in organizations. This paper discusses up to one-hundred vital pointers having positive effect on the framework of Corporate Governance, and later mentions a Spiral Model of Success, called CGSMS (Corporate Governance- Spiral Model of Success). Secondly, to start CSR department in some organizations, there should be some specific CSR performance measures and analysis tools.
It consists meaning of corporate governance, clause 49 of listing agreement, initiatives for governing practices in India and drivers for the growth of corporate governance in India.
This is a part of syllabus of the Business ethics of MBA.
2. The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance
was developed by the Working Group on Best
Practices in Corporate Governance (JPK1) and
subsequently approved by the high level
Finance Committee on Corporate Governance.
JPK1 was chaired by the Chairman of the
Federation of Public Listed Companies. The
members of the JPK1 comprise a mix of private
and public sector participation.
3. The Code is principally an initiative of the private
sector as indicated by the membership of JPK1.
The need for a Code was inspired in part by a desire
for the private sector to initiate and lead a review
and to establish reforms of standards of corporate
governance at a micro level.
This is based on the belief that in some aspects, self-
regulation is preferable and the standards
developed by those involved may be more
acceptable and thus more enduring.
4. The Code essentially aims to set out principles and
best practices on structures and processes that
companies may use in their operations towards
achieving the optimal governance framework.
These structures and processes exist at a micro-
level which include issues such as the composition
of the board, procedures for recruiting new
directors, remuneration of directors, the use of
board committees, their mandates and their
activities.
5. The significance of the Code is that it allows for a
more constructive and flexible response to raise
standards in corporate governance as opposed to
the more black and white response engendered by
statute or regulation.
It is in recognition of the fact that there are aspects
of corporate governance where statutory
regulation, is necessary and others where self-
regulation, complemented by market regulation is
more appropriate.
6. Investor confidence in Malaysia was severely
affected during the 1997/98 Asian Financial Crisis.
Policy makers learnt valuable lessons and focused
their attention, amongst others, on the need to
raise corporate governance standards.
The issuance of the Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance (Code) in the year 2000 to strengthen
Malaysia’s corporate governance framework.

9. The Hampel committee recommended
companies which confirm compliance with
Cadbury prescriptions should be superseded by
a requirement to make a statement to show
how they :
i.apply the principles, and
ii.comply with the combined code and in the
latter case, to justify any significant variances.
10. The Committee considered the Hampel approach
to be the most suited for the Malaysian context for
two reasons :
i.Best practice prescriptions are necessary. As
standards of corporate governance in Malaysia are
lacking and that there is a need to raise these
standards.
ii.That companies must nevertheless be
encouraged to consciously address their
governance needs.
