There was a very interesting article in Sunday’s (30/11/2008) New Straits Times regarding CSR written by Mike Chiam, a council member of the Malaysian Empoyers Federation and chairman of the Human Resource Bureau of the SMI Association of Malaysia. You can currently read the article here.
The article touched on issues such as the extention of what is known as “stakeholders” where it is now not only shareholders and investors who are considered as stakeholders.
Another interesting thing mentioned was in regards to Socially responsible investment. Where Malaysian investors stand on this point and whether Malaysian investor’s would take into account whether or not a company is socially responsible when deciding to invest in that certain company is still unknown. Personally, I still feel many Malaysians wouldn’t give a stuff about it. Whaddya all reckon?
