NexG Issues Advisory on Former Directors, Stresses Vigilance in Corporate Representation

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 September 2025 — Technology solutions provider NexG Berhad has formally cautioned business partners, stakeholders, and members of the public against recognising or acting upon any form of representation by two of its recently resigned directors. The advisory underscores the company’s emphasis on corporate governance and its determination to prevent potential misrepresentation in ongoing or future dealings.

In a Bursa Malaysia filing and accompanying press release, NexG detailed that Dato’ Ahmad Syahril Bin Abdullah tendered his resignation as Director of Datasonic Corporation Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary within the group, with effect from 16 July 2025. Similarly, Muhamad Fakhrul Khir Bin Abdul Samat stepped down as Director of NexG CSA Sdn. Bhd. on 15 August 2025. Both individuals, the company stressed, no longer hold any form of position, authority, or decision-making capacity within NexG, Datasonic, or related group entities.

The company highlighted that all engagements—including contractual commitments, project negotiations, procurement processes, and stakeholder communications—must strictly be conducted through currently authorised directors or appointed officers. “Any representation or claims of authority made by the said former directors should be disregarded in its entirety,” NexG stated, adding that legal recourse could be pursued should any party be misled by unauthorised claims.

Industry observers note that such advisories, though not common, serve as an important safeguard in Malaysia’s corporate landscape where business dealings often involve intricate networks of subsidiaries and affiliates. By clarifying the limits of authority, NexG aims to maintain investor confidence and safeguard its reputation at a time when companies are under closer scrutiny regarding governance practices.

The announcement also reflects the group’s heightened vigilance following boardroom changes. Corporate lawyers explain that resignations at the director level can create a temporary grey area, particularly if former officeholders continue to leverage prior titles in business circles. NexG’s swift communication is thus seen as a proactive measure to protect both its internal governance framework and external stakeholders.

NexG’s advisory comes amid a period of consolidation within the Malaysian technology and solutions sector, where clear lines of accountability are critical to sustaining partnerships with government agencies, corporate clients, and international partners. Analysts say that by reinforcing transparency in its governance processes, NexG is positioning itself to avoid potential disputes and to signal stability in its operations.

The group reiterated that any party engaging in business with NexG or its subsidiaries should seek verification through official company channels before entering into transactions or agreements. This measure, the company argues, ensures integrity in commercial dealings while upholding the standards expected by regulators, investors, and clients.
