趣聽精彩世界："70歲俱樂部"的億萬富翁們

One partner of KPMG explains the new Act requires a proper justification and a special resolution with 75% voting in favour to continue with executive powers beyond 70. An age limit was deemed fit since significant public capital is parked with the country's largely promoter-driven companies.

This applies to those with executive functions and not independent directors.
