## How does a company get Bumiputera status?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Bumiputera status is a separate certification question, not an automatic consequence of SSM incorporation or a single shareholding percentage. Check the current criteria for the relevant procurement or contractor scheme, including ownership and effective control, and obtain the required certificate before relying on that status in a bid.
