    Tan Sri Chairman thanked the Secretary for his briefing and proposed that the Notice of the 30th AGM be taken as read. Mr Choo Moon Tuck @ Cho Mun Tuck, a shareholder and proxy, seconded the proposal.

    6.0 OPENING REMARKS BY CHAIRMAN

    6.1 Tan Sri Chairman then declared the Meeting duly convened. He conveyed that

    this is the first AGM for him as the new TM Chairman, an office he assumed with a great honour and a strong sense of shared purpose in nation building and guided by the same values that TM holds at the core of its ethos, which is “Total Commitment to Customers, Uncompromising Integrity and Respect and Care”.

    He thereafter summarised the key points of the Chairman’s Statement in the 2014 Annual Report as follows:

    6.1.1 2014 was a fairly mixed year for TM, in the face of a challenging and

    competitive environment. 6.1.2 The 2014 Group revenue was RM11.24 billion, beyond the RM11.0

    million milestone hurdles while the Group Operating Profit (Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT)) was RM1.29 billion, against RM1.37 billion in 2013. The Group reported Profit Before Tax (PBT) rose 5.7% Year-on-Year (YoY) to RM1.11 billion while Group Reported Net Profit or Profit After Tax And Minority Interest (PATAMI) stood at RM831.8 million, with Group Normalised PATAMI was at RM941.2 million.

    6.1.3 TM’s 2014 Headline Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) comprised

    revenue growth of 5.0% to 5.5%, EBIT growth of 5% and a customer satisfaction measure based on the TRI*M index of 72, exceeding the global average of 68 for the fourth consecutive year. These KPIs were set prior to the investment and consolidation of Packet One Network (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1) into the TM Group. Hence, excluding the impact of P1, TM has achieved all three (3) Headline KPIs, with Group revenue up 5.3% against Financial Year 2013, normalised EBIT growth of 5.0% to RM1.43 billion and a TRI*M index of more than 72, above the global average of 68.

    6.1.4 Based on the good performance, TM would again fulfill its annual

    dividend commitment, to pay either RM700 million or up to 90.0% of normalised PATAMI to shareholders, whichever is higher.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 5 of 22

    6.1.5 The Board of Directors had recommended a final single-tier dividend of 13.4 sen per share amounting to RM583.1 million, on top of the interim dividend of 9.5 sen per share paid in October 2014. The total dividend payout to all registered shareholders would be 22.9 sen per share or RM846.8 million.

    6.1.6 TM continued supporting the Government’s Economic Transformation

    Programme (ETP), especially for Entry Point Project (EPP) 10 - “Extending the Regional Network” as well as the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) on the Communications Content and Infrastructure (CCI) sector in improving communications infrastructure and the uptake of services.

    6.1.7 In 2014, TM was awarded a landmark contract via an open tender

    process by the MCMC to develop and construct a new submarine cable system, Sistem Kabel Rakyat 1Malaysia (SKR1M) linking Peninsular Malaysia with Sabah and Sarawak. The project would be established through a Public-Private Partnership arrangement between MCMC and TM utilizing the Universal Services Provision Fund (USP) under the purview of MCMC.

    6.1.8 TM also had recently been awarded the High Speed Broadband Phase

    2 (HSBB2) Project and the Sub-Urban Broadband (SUBB) Project, a collaboration with the Government, to deploy the access, domestic core networks to deliver end to-end broadband network infrastructure and services, and increasing coverage for the nation.

    6.1.9 Some of TM’s initiatives in year 2014 were as follows:

    a) Launched the first 4G broadband offering, TMgo in Alor Setar,

    Kedah in August 2014. b) Spearheaded the digital transformation of Malaysia’s broadcasting

    landscape by signing an agreement with MYTV Broadcasting Sdn Bhd to provide infrastructure and network facilities for digital terrestrial television.

    c) Launched a start-up accelerator programme giving direct access

    for start-ups to develop and test go-to-market models with TM’s ready and existing ecosystem comprising Multimedia University (MMU), TM R&D and with its strategic partners and alliances.

    6.1.10 In order to deliver convergence as a seamless experience and placing

    the customer at the heart of it all, TM would redesign its ideas and approaches in order to live up to its brand and customer promise of “Life Made Easier” and “Business Made Easier”.

    6.1.11 TM had more than 750,000 UniFi customers to date, despite an increasingly competitive broadband market. In addition to TMgo launch, TM acquired P1 to strengthen its broadband offering with Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband services towards TM’s transformation of becoming the No. 1 Converged Communications Service Provider.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 6 of 22

    6.1.12 In terms of corporate governance and integrity, TM continued to focus making integrity a cornerstone of its operations, in line with the commitment to support the National Integrity Plan and the Government’s National Key Result Area (NKRA) on Anti-Corruption.

    6.1.13 “Warga TM” had also contributed to provide relief to affected flood

    victims in the recent calamity that had befallen our country, especially in the East Coast. Tan Sri Chairman commended TM staff who had risen to the challenge and worked relentlessly to restore our services to normal in these affected areas. Gratitude was also recorded to the Ministry of Communication and Multimedia, MCMC, Pakar Semboyan that had assisted TM in strategizing, coordinating and safeguarding our network and assets throughout the Eastern Region.

    6.1.14 Moving forward, the Malaysian telecommunications industry was

    expected to be challenging although generally stable in 2015. Increased competition might pressure profit margins while revenue growth would be limited as fast-growing data services would continue to be offset by a decline in traditional voice revenues. TM would continue to focus on executing our Performance Improvement Programme (PIP) 3.0 on its ongoing transformation journey towards becoming a Convergence Champion, which would enable the Company to deliver its promise of “Life Made Easier” and “Business Made Easier”.

    6.2 On behalf of the Board, Tan Sri Chairman expressed his sincere appreciation and

    gratitude to all parties who had contributed to TM’s position today, including the shareholders, media, regulators, Government as well as TM’s employees nationwide who have continued to believe in and support TM.

    7.0 PRESENTATION BY THE GROUP CEO AND GROUP CFO

    7.1 Tan Sri Chairman informed the Meeting that TM has received several questions from the Minority Shareholders’ Watchdog Group (MSWG) on 22 April 2015 and has accordingly replied to MSWG on 28 April 2015.

    7.2 For the benefit of the members and invitees, Tan Sri Chairman invited Datuk Bazlan Osman, TM’s Executive Director/Group Chief Financial Officer (Datuk GCFO) to present TM’s responses to MSWG’s questions. In addition, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa, TM’s Managing Director/Group Chief Executive Officer (Tan Sri GCEO) would highlight the evolution of the telecommunication industry as well as the Company’s Financial Highlights.

    7.3 Datuk GCFO thereafter presented TM’s replies to the questions raised by MSWG.

    The questions particularly pertained to three (3) issues on Strategic and Financial Matters as well as a question on Corporate Governance Matters.

    7.4 The presentation then continued with Tan Sri GCEO highlighting the Company’s

    updates as well as Financial Highlights. Salient matters presented were summarised as follows:

    7.4.1 TM started more than sixty (60) years ago, since 1946. It was always at

    the leading edge of the telecommunications sector, been the driver for nation-building as well as the development of the industry. TM had since evolved from a government department into the industry leader, and one of the largest companies listed in Bursa Malaysia.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 7 of 22

    7.4.2 Over time, TM had undergone several inflections driven by technology; from the early days of analogue telephony services, data communications in the early 80’s, and thereafter, the digital age with advanced services such as cellular services, internet services and broadband.

    7.4.3 Year 2008 was a landmark year for TM. We completed the demerger

    exercise and embarked upon a new transformative phase; a full-Internet Protocol (IP) network.

    7.4.4 In 2010, we launched Malaysia’s first triple play service, Unifi, which

    allowed Malaysians to enjoy an even richer broadband and lifestyle experience powered by TM.

    7.4.5 Riding on the success of the HSBB rollout, and driven by the evolution in not just technology but the rapid change in customer behaviour and expectations, we embarked on yet another game-changing endeavor in 2014, where we completed our investment into P1.

    7.4.6 We also introduced TMgo, our own 4G service, to enable customers in

    the rural areas to enjoy a higher broadband experience.

    7.4.7 Technology has, over recent years, become a big part of our lives that broadband and internet are no longer about connectivity. With more innovation, the internet became a tool for social interaction, and encompasses many lifestyle activities. Internet is now a large part of our daily lives that we are no longer conscious of it.

    7.4.8 Businesses had also evolved with technology. E-commerce is now a

    must; as are B2B, machine-to-machine connectivity and big data analytics. With “Internet of Things”, physical objects are now embedded with electronics to enable the exchange of data with its owner, and even other connected devices – which will change our consumption and use of information, as well as our daily lives.

    7.4.9 As Malaysia’s leading new generation communications provider, TM embraced our customers’ needs through continuous innovation and execution excellence.

    7.4.10 Today, TM is Malaysia’s Broadband Champion, with 2.23 million

    customers. We will continue our journey towards being the true Convergence Champion, which is anchored upon delivering on our Information and Innovation Exchange aspiration.

    7.4.11 All of our strategies are anchored upon our Performance Improvement

    Programme 3.0, which entails continued growth and increasing operational efficiencies whilst maintaining an efficient cost structure to improve overall productivity, all of which are with a view toward growing TM sustainably for future generations.

    7.5 In concluding his presentation, Tan Sri GCEO thanked all present and relevant stakeholders for their support to TM. On behalf of TM, he also expressed appreciation to former chairmen of TM, namely Tan Sri Dato’ Ir Muhammad Radzi Mansor and Dato’ Sri Dr Halim as well as past President of the National Union of Telecom Employees (NUTE), Tuan Haji Mohamed Shafie BP Mammal for their contributions and services rendered to TM and their continuous support. Tan Sri Dato’ Ir Muhammad Radzi and Tuan Haji Mohamed Shafie were present at the 30th AGM.

    [Presentation by Tan Sri GCEO and Datuk GCFO commenced from 10.20 a.m. to

    10.55 a.m.]

    7.6 Tan Sri Chairman thanked both Tan Sri GCEO and Datuk GCFO for their presentations.

    8.0 REMARKS BY CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE OF MSWG

    8.1 Tan Sri Chairman further invited MSWG’s corporate representative, Puan Lya Rahman to say a few words.

    8.2 Puan Lya thanked the Board for presenting MSWG’s questions and TM’s replies

    at the AGM and made the following comments and/or observations: 8.2.1 She commended the Board and the Management on the following:

    TM’s good performance in 2014 and continuous improvement in good

    corporate governance and practices. TM has been an exemplary company in good corporate governance practices not only in Malaysia but also in Asean. TM has scored 104.47 points in the 2014 Asean CG Index assessment resulting TM to be ranked 3rd in the Top 50 of Asean public listed companies.

    Good practice in re-tabling the resolution on directors’ fees for shareholders’ approval in line with the recommendation made by MSWG at last year’s AGM, even though there was no increase in the directors’ fees in 2013 and 2014.

    8.2.2 She expressed hope for TM to continuously maintain the high standard of

    corporate governance and hoped to see TM emerge as the top ranked company amongst the Asean public listed companies of which the result would be published and announced in an event launch in Manila scheduled on 14 November 2015.

    8.3 Puan Lya then proceeded to seek further clarifications on the following issues:

    Pertinent Questions and Answers During Meeting Proceedings

    (The Board’s answers are in italic.)

    8.3.1 TM to clarify on the increase in “other receivables” attributable to the two (2) subsidiaries which were recently acquired by TM.

    Datuk GCFO responded as follows:

    The RM289.3 million increase is mainly due to consolidation of two (2) subsidiaries that were acquired by the Group in 2014 i.e. GTC Global Sdn Bhd (GTC) of RM205.1 million and P1 of RM82.9 million.

    GTC’s nature of business is to provide business of trading, leasing

    and installing cellular and telecommunication equipment which includes focus on security and surveillance segments that complement the Company’s core competencies as well as broaden the Group’s capabilities in the information and communication technologies (ICT). Whereas, P1’s nature of business is to provide long last mile broadband network infrastructure facilities and services.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 9 of 22

    Other Receivables in GTC relate to the contract with customers for

    deliverables, services and performance obligations which are not due for billing yet because of the nature of the contracts.

    Whilst in P1, Other Receivables consist of deposits, regulatory fees

    that were paid in advance as well as irrecoverable vouchers from major customers.

    8.3.2 What is the impact on the Company’s EBITDA margin for 2015 with the

    recently announcement by TM on the two (2) new broadband packages with reduced rates between 10% and 57%? Tan Sri GCEO explained as follows: Both new broadband packages i.e. RM38 per month package for 1

    Mbps with data usage of up to 1GB and RM179 per month UniFi package/UniFi 10Mbps, are part of TM strategies to attract new customers using broadband services by offering new customers to experience broadband packages with basic package at a minimal price.

    TM does not expect any downtrend in terms of customers from the

    primary proposition of unlimited usage for TM existing suite of packages as the RM38 per month is a basic package which has a capping of 1GB whilst existing RM68/RM88 per month package at 1GB is unlimited.

    In respect of RM179 package which offers 10 Mbps unlimited usage,

    only existing customers that are subscribing UniFi VIP 10 (basic) package without any HyppTV premium channels subscription will be automatically migrated to the new UniFi 10 Mbps package and enjoy the 10% reduction in fees.

    TM acknowledged that there are both upside and downside of these

    packages. These new packages will not only help increase the take-up in TM broadband services but also motivate customers to upgrade to higher speed with different experience.

    8.4 The Chairman then thanked Puan Lya for her kind words and observation. 9.0 RECEIPT OF AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS OF DIRECTORS

    AND AUDITORS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2014

    9.1 Tan Sri Chairman tabled the Audited Financial Statements and Reports of

    Directors and Auditors for the financial year ended 31st December 2014. 9.2 Tan Sri Chairman explained that in line with the provision of Section 169(1) of the

    Companies Act, 1965, the financial statements and reports are not required to be formally approved by the shareholders. Hence, it would not be put for voting.

    Nonetheless, shareholders were welcomed to raise questions and seek

    clarifications on the Audited Financial Statements and Reports as normally practiced in the past AGMs.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 10 of 22

    9.3 The Meeting was informed that the auditors, PwC, who were present today, were of the opinion that the Audited Financial Statements had been properly drawn up and present a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company and Group as at 31 December 2014. The Audited Financial Statements had been prepared in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and other regulatory requirements.

    9.4 Thereafter, the Chairman welcomed comments and/or queries from the floor

    regarding the 2014 Audited Financial Statements and Reports. The pertinent questions and answers during the proceedings were summarised as follows:

    (The Board’s answers are in italic.)

    9.4.1 2014 Financial Performance

    a) Mr Choo Moon Tuck @ Cho Mun Tuck (Mr Choo), a shareholder

    and proxy, congratulated Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr Sulaiman Mahbob on his new appointment as TM Chairman. He further congratulated the Board and Management for the Company’s good performance in 2014. TM is a “safe” investment and continued to provide returns to shareholders.

    b) Mr Choo expressed concerns on the high amount of impairment

    of trade and other receivables under “other operating costs” item and enquired whether this amount could be reduced drastically moving forward in 2015.

    Datuk GCFO responded that TM would continue to manage

    impairment in trade receivables to ensure lower provision in 2015. The high provision in 2014 was due to stringent credit management measures taken to determine credit worthiness of customers. However, steps have been taken since 2014 to mitigate and reduce our credit risk exposure, as follows: (i) Auto credit worthiness check to detect non-genuine customers. (ii) To reduce credit timeline from 180 days to 120 days as to curb

    debt exposure. (iii) Actions were also taken on the agents by imposing claw back of

    commission if they breached the terms of their appointment. (iv) Tighter verification process for new customers to ensure only

    genuine customers are registered. We hoped that the above preventive actions would reduce impairment cost for this year.

    c) Mr Choo also sought clarification on the high amount of termination benefit of RM111.2 million under “other operating costs” disclosed on page 303 of the Annual Report.

    Datuk GCFO clarified that RM111.2 million of termination benefit

    was paid to eligible staff aged 55 and above who have taken up the voluntary retirement scheme (Skim Mesra) following the increase in mandatory retirement age to 60 years which was adopted by TM since July 2013, in line with the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012 (MRA 2012). About 1,000 staff has accepted Skim Mesra.

  • TELEKOM MALAYSIA BERHAD 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING [30.4.2015]

    Page 11 of 22

    d) Mr Ho Yuen Wueng (HYW), a shareholder, wished TM the very best in view of a more challenging year ahead and the expected lower return of investment next year.

    HYW later expressed his concerns over the decline in Earnings Per

    Share (EPS) in 2014 despite the good financial performance. Datuk GCFO responded that EPS for year 2013 was higher due to

    tax exemption awarded to TM for the High Speed Broadband (HSBB) project. In the absence of the tax exemption, EPS was lower in year 2014, notwithstanding a better PBT compared to previous year.

    TM is currently in negotiation with the Government for tax incentives for the recently awarded HSBB2 and SUBB Project. However, TM is not at liberty to share the details as it is still in negotiation stage.

    e) HYW commented that based on the segmental analysis report on

    pages 38 – 39 of the Annual Report, the assets allocation for Shared Services segment was quite disproportionate to its return.

    Datuk GCFO noted the comments and agreed that all assets

    invested in all projects such as in HSBB, should be fully optimized. In view of this, the Board has agreed that one of the Headline KPIs for 2015 is to look into EBIT growth to ensure sufficient return from the assets that TM has invested.

    9.4.2 Investment in P1

    a) Mr Choo queried on P1’s contribution to the Group given its RM53.3 million losses in 2014. He further enquired on the expected timeline for P1 to turnaround and contributes positively to the Group. He also enquired as to whether TM will continue injecting more funds into P1.

    Tan Sri GCEO replied that P1 plays a significant role in TM’s future

    business on LTE business. TM currently had 850MHz spectrum and the combination of low and high band spectrums would allow P1 to build a multi-band network that would enable extensive fixed and mobile coverage and capacity.

    Strategic plans have been identified and are currently being implemented to turnaround P1. It is still early to gauge the success of the plans and Management is not at liberty to share the information at this point of time.

    9.4.3 Competitions and Strategy a) HYW commented that the voice revenue has substantially reduced

    and therefore, TM should focus on improving it as it may be an indication that more customers are migrating to competitors.

    Tan Sri GCEO informed that decline in revenue from voice is a

    normal phenomenon especially for fixed line player. Since mid-2000, there is significant decline of up to a double digit for fixed line due to migration from fixed line to other mobile substitute. At the moment, voice revenue comprises 30% of total revenue growth despite strong competition from broadband.

    Page 12 of 22

    Tan Sri GCEO also cited changes in user-behaviour and their preference in using social media has also impacted the voice revenue as more users especially the younger generations are communicating using internet protocol (IP).

    b) HYW enquired on TM’s strategy in managing its mobile strategy as

    well as TM’s perspective in managing the challenges in view of the competitive market.

    Tan Sri GCEO informed that it is TM’s aspiration to become the

    Number One (1) Convergence Player and not the 4 th Mobile Player. Although connectivity remains TM’s core business such as broadband services, we are expanding connectivity capabilities and going beyond “fixed” broadband by aiming to become the first convergence player in order to improve customers’ mobility experience. It is not TM’s intention to be a mobile player.

    c) Mr Yap Kim Tong (YKT) proposed that TM diversified its investment

    to overseas especially in China and Middle East to increase revenue and yield better dividend payout for next year.

    TM noted and thanked YKT for the suggestion. 9.4.4 Human Capital Matters

    a) HYW cautioned Management on the risk of maintaining a large

    number of staff. The existing 28,000 staff is deemed too high for TM’s size and nature of business. He expressed hope that TM would not face the same problem faced by the Malaysian national airlines which has significant number of employees. HYW also commented on the high cost of termination benefits and other staff benefits as stated in the Annual Report. He further queried as to whether more staff are to be terminated.

    Datuk GCFO clarified that the termination benefits were in respect

    of payment to about 900 staff aged 55 years onward, who applied for early retirement under the Skim Mesra. It is an early voluntary exit offered to eligible TM staff in view of the increase in retirement age from 55 to 60 years in accordance to the MRA 2012. TM would continue to monitor and manage the staff benefits of its executives and non-executives and the costs on yearly basis. Whilst managing the number of staff is critical, Tan Sri GCEO clarified that the main objective is increasing or improving staff productivity. Having a large workforce could be beneficial to the Company provided all employees contributed their productivity and help to improve TM’s financial performance. This is being addressed under TM’s Performance Improvement Programme 3.0 focussing on increasing and strengthening of institutional health.

    9.5 After attending to the questions and suggestions posed by the members, Tan Sri

    Chairman continued with the meeting proceedings. [The Questions and Answers Session ended at 12.00 noon.]

    two (2) DRS exercises with very encouraging take up rates. As such, the Board has agreed to continue providing shareholders the flexibility and opportunity to reinvest the dividends in new TM shares in lieu of receiving cash.

It would also improve the liquidity of the TM Shares on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

    20.3 The motion was proposed by Tuan Haji Abd Ghani Hakim, a shareholder, and

    was seconded by Madam Usha Rani, a shareholder. 20.4 The motion was put to the Meeting, voted by show of hands and declared carried

    unanimously. 20.5 It was RESOLVED:

    on 8 May 2014, approval be and is hereby given to the Company to allot and issue such number of new TM Shares for the DRS until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, upon such terms and conditions and to such persons as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, deem fit and in the interest of the Company PROVIDED THAT the issue price of the said new TM Shares shall be

    fixed by the Directors at not more than ten percent (10%) discount to the adjusted five (5)-day volume weighted average market price (VWAMP) of TM Shares immediately prior to the price-fixing date, of which the VWAMP shall be adjusted ex-dividend before applying the aforementioned discount in fixing the issue price and not less than the par value of TM Shares at the material time; AND THAT the Directors and the Secretaries of the Company be and are hereby authorised to do all such acts and enter into all such transactions, arrangements and documents as may be necessary or expedient in order to give full effect to the DRS with full power to assent to any conditions, modifications, variations and/or amendments (if any) as may be imposed or agreed to by any relevant authorities or consequent upon the implementation of the said conditions, modifications, variations and/or amendments, as they, in their absolute discretion, deemed fit and in the best interest of the Company.

    21.1 Tan Sri Chairman proceeded with the last special business which was the
