## Do I still need to hold an AGM?

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

No — the Companies Act 2016 abolished mandatory annual general meetings for private companies. Decisions members used to take at AGMs now pass by written resolution, and financial statements are simply circulated to members within the statutory window instead of being 'laid' at a meeting. Public companies still hold AGMs; your Sdn Bhd doesn't have to.
