## How many directors can a Sdn Bhd have?

Last updated: 20 September 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Minimum one — who must ordinarily reside in Malaysia — and no statutory maximum for a private company, though a constitution may set its own cap. Boards of one to three are the SME norm; what matters legally is that the resident-director floor never breaks, and that every appointment is filed with SSM within fourteen days.
