Why Do Some People Use a Foreign Company as the Shareholder of a Malaysian Sdn Bhd?  

Asset Protection  

When a foreign company is used as the shareholder, assets can be separated from an individual’s personal name, making liability clearer.  

Advantages:

• Limits personal risk
• In the event of legal disputes, the company—not the individual—bears the liability
• A multi-layer structure prevents assets from being easily pursued

This approach is especially popular in industries with higher operational risk (such as construction, import & export, engineering, manpower supply, and technology). 


为什么一些人使用外国公司作为马来西亚 Sdn Bhd 的股东？

资产保护（Asset Protection）

外国公司作为股东，可将资产从个人名下隔离，使责任更清晰。

优点：

• 限制个人风险
• 一旦发生法律纠纷，责任由公司承担而非个人
• 多层结构可防止资产被轻易追索

对需要承担较大运营风险的行业特别受欢迎（如建筑、进出口、工程、劳务、科技）。
