There is strong and independent element on the Board. The Board is able to exercise objective judgment
independently from Management and no individual or small group of individuals dominate the decisions of the
Board.
The NC considers the Board’s present size and composition appropriate taking into account the nature and
scope of the Group’s operations, the depth and breadth of knowledge, expertise and business experiences of
the directors to govern and manage the Group’s affairs, and that a majority of Board is independent. The NC
reviews the size of the Board from time to time.
The Board has no dissenting view on the President’s Letter to Shareholders for the financial year in review.
