A close-up image features a cat curled up and sleeping. The cat has orange and white fur, with a predominantly orange body and white patches on the chest and paws. It is tightly curled into a ball shape, resting on a dark, possibly denim, surface. The cat's eyes are closed and it appears to be very relaxed. The background is slightly blurred, showing a wooden floor and a glimpse of another surface with some small items on it.

Managing Director Appointments and Remuneration in Singapore: A Comprehensive Legal Overview


This comprehensive guide delves into the legal intricacies of appointing and removing directors in Singapore, offering practical insights to ensure compliance and seamless transitions.

In the intricate world of corporate governance, the appointment and removal of directors are critical actions that demand meticulous attention. While these actions may appear straightforward, they are laden with legal formalities that, if mishandled, can lead to significant repercussions. This comprehensive guide delves into the legal intricacies of appointing and removing directors in Singapore, offering practical insights to ensure compliance and seamless transitions.

The Foundation: Eligibility and Consent


The journey begins with the fundamentals. A director must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as being at least 18 years old and not being disqualified under the Companies Act. It is crucial to scrutinize for any disqualifying factors, such as bankruptcy or specific criminal convictions. Obtaining the prospective director's written consent is non-negotiable. This consent is not merely a formality; it is a legal requirement for filings and serves as tangible proof that the individual has accepted the directorial role.

Decoding the Company's Constitution and Shareholders' Agreements


Before proceeding with the appointment, it is imperative to thoroughly review the company's constitution and any existing shareholders' agreements. These documents often outline the procedural mechanics for appointing directors. Some companies grant the board the authority to appoint directors between meetings, while others mandate shareholder approval or bestow nomination rights on specific investors. Adhering to these stipulated rules is crucial; failure to do so can render the appointment invalid.

The Practical Steps: Appointing a Director


The process of appointing a director involves several practical steps. Begin by gathering the necessary particulars: the candidate's name, identification (NRIC or passport), residential address, nationality, occupation, and contact details. It is also prudent to check for potential conflicts of interest and other directorships. If the new director is a foreign national who will assume an operational role, confirming work pass requirements is essential.

Conduct the appropriate meeting. If the constitution permits board appointments, pass a board resolution and meticulously record it in the minutes. Should shareholder approval be necessary, convene a general meeting or obtain a written resolution. Post-decision, file the appointment with ACRA via BizFile+. In most instances, ACRA must be notified within 14 days of the appointment. Update the register of directors and any internal records, and maintain a comprehensive file containing the minutes, consent form, and ACRA receipt.

Onboarding: Setting the Stage for Success


The appointment process does not conclude with notifying ACRA. New directors should receive an induction pack that includes the constitution, recent minutes, financial statements, key contracts, and an overview of statutory duties. Clarifying disclosure requirements and the company's conflicts policy from the outset can mitigate misunderstandings down the line.

Resignation: A Smooth Exit


When a director opts to resign, the process should be formalized in writing, with the effective date clearly stated. The board must acknowledge the resignation and document it at the subsequent meeting. As with appointments, file the resignation with ACRA within the stipulated 14-day timeframe. If the resigning director is the sole resident director, it is imperative to plan for a replacement to avoid breaching the resident-director requirement. Collect any company property, revoke signatory powers, and document the handover of duties.

Removal: The Shareholders' Prerogative


Shareholders possess the authority to remove a director through an ordinary resolution, subject to the constitution and the Companies Act. Typically, notice of the intended resolution must be provided to the director. The director has the right to submit written representations to the shareholders, which can be circulated upon request. Following the vote, file the change with ACRA within the statutory timeline. Adhering strictly to notice rules is crucial, as procedural oversights often form the basis for subsequent legal challenges.

Automatic Disqualification and Court Orders


Certain events automatically disqualify a director, such as bankruptcy, specific convictions, or court orders. Should a director become disqualified, the company is obligated to notify ACRA promptly. In rare instances, courts may also remove a director. For complex matters, seeking legal advice is advisable.

Practical Follow-Ups: Ensuring Operational Continuity


After any change in directorship, it is essential to update bank mandates, licenses, contracts, and insurance. If the director had signing authority, inform the banks and revoke signatures as needed. Notify auditors and major stakeholders if the change impacts approvals or contracts. Keeping the statutory register, share register, and minute books up to date is vital to prevent fraud and operational disruptions.

Common Pitfalls: What to Avoid


Avoid assuming that verbal consent suffices. Do not bypass the constitution or shareholders' agreement checks. Refrain from delaying ACRA filings. Ensure that handovers are formalized. Each of these seemingly minor shortcuts can create significant risks later, such as disputes, invalid appointments, or fines.

The Role of Secretarial Services


A proficient company secretarial services provider can be invaluable in navigating these processes. They handle the checklist, draft resolutions, prepare consent forms, lodge BizFile+ notifications, and update statutory books. They also offer guidance on residency rules, filing timelines, and special clauses in shareholders' agreements. Outsourcing these tasks reduces the likelihood of procedural errors and allows directors to concentrate on governance rather than administrative minutiae.

Recordkeeping: Your Safeguard


Maintain a dedicated folder for each appointment or removal, containing the consent form, board/shareholder resolutions, resignation letter (if applicable), ACRA lodgement receipt, and updated registers. This folder serves as your proof if auditors, investors, or courts inquire about the handling of the change.

A Practical Checklist


  • Confirm that the constitution permits the proposed action.
  • Obtain written consent to act (for appointments) or written resignation (for departures).
  • Pass the appropriate board or shareholder resolution and record the minutes.
  • File the change on BizFile+ within 14 days.
  • Update registers, bank mandates, and licenses.
  • Keep a comprehensive file with all documents and lodgement receipts.


Final Thoughts


Appointing or removing a director is a significant corporate event that should be treated as a governance milestone. Adhere to the constitution and the law, file promptly, and maintain meticulous records. When in doubt, engage experienced secretarial services to manage the mechanics. This disciplined approach ensures clean, compliant, and low-risk transitions—essential for a well-run company.

So on Sunday I was out gathering for Wednesgiving*, and realized at my third stop that I had lost a hearing aid.

So spouse and I backtracked to the winter market we had been to. I even parked in the same space.

I opened the app for my HAs, which connects to each via Bluetooth, and it showed the battery level for the one I was still wearing, and a spinner for the one that was lost.

I walked back the same route, and as I got within 15 feet of the entrance, the app connected, and I spotted the HA lying on the ground a few feet to the side of the entrance, where I had stopped on my way in the first time to put on my N95 mask.

I must have hooked the strap and flipped the HA off. Fortunately, it hadn't been stepped on or soaked, and is working fine.

Now I'm trying to figure out if there's a BT app that can alarm if an HA goes out of range, or if the native app has a mode for that…
There's a 'find my HA' option, but it turns on location tracking to the manufacturer, even when the app is closed, so I'm not too keen on using it.

In 2017 Randall Munroe posted a strip called "Seven Years" about being the caregiver for a loved one dealing with cancer:

xkcd.com/1928/

That strip literally made me cry, it was such a clear telling of what that experience is like; much of it could have been about my own life.

Except that my own experience had a different ending.

Today he put out "Fifteen Years":

This one made me want to cheer. What a joy to see a story that has played out so differently, so much better. I have never crossed paths with Mr. Munroe, but I rejoice in his and his family's good fortune as if he were a good friend.

Here's to many more years.

Alors, voilà, cet ignoble propagandiste #raciste a été ministre de l'Éducation. Merci #Macron. Non seulement il s'exprime comme un pied, mais il raconte n'importe quoi : I'#INSEE indique un solde migratoire de 150 000 personnes par an en France. Tous âges confondus. Alors parler de 500 000 enfants par an c'est un discours mensonger et ridicule.Mais pour un ministre d'extrême droite s'exprimant sur une radio d'extrême droite, l'essentiel est de faire des étrangers les boucs-émissaires de la faillite totale de son passage au ministère.

Lawyer Ben Marmarelli describes the ordeal Palestinian detainees face in Israeli detention facilities when they are scheduled to meet their lawyers.

He said detainees are taken from their cells early in the morning, subjected to sexual abuse, restrained at the hands and feet, blindfolded, and forced to remain in painful stress positions on their knees for hours, until late afternoon.
