They must be filed with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) during incorporation and can be amended through special resolutions. The documents contain crucial provisions regarding share capital, corporate governance, decision-making processes, and operational procedures, ensuring compliance with Malaysian regulatory requirements while providing flexibility for business operations.
