As discussed in section 2, a listed foreign company with a primary listing must establish transfer and registration of securities facilities in Malaysia and appoint an agent or representative in Malaysia to be responsible for communication with Bursa Malaysia. If a company's operations are entirely or predominantly foreign-based, it must appoint at least two directors whose principal (or only) place of residence is within Malaysia.

There are no specific corporate records that a listed foreign company must keep in Malaysia. However, the Malaysian Companies Act requires every foreign company registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia to keep in Malaysia any accounting and other records that will sufficiently explain the company's transactions and financial position (arising out of its operations in Malaysia). These records must be kept in a manner that enables them to be conveniently and properly audited.
