IssueIssue

•Corporate governance is an important theme to ensure the accountability of certain individuals in an organization through mechanisms that try to reduce or eliminate the principal-agent problem.

•In Sime Darby, the Board Work Group had been established to review its Energy & Utilities Division to assess the corporate governance and performance of the Division.

•Apart from the current issue, the CEO’s departure comes almost two years after Sime fired CFO Razidan Ghazali and second executive following a RM 120 million trading loss at a refining division. The unit lost the money on future between October 2006 and August 2007.

•Therefore, Sime Darby should always strengthen their corporate governance issue as they are one of the biggest Government Link Company (GLC) that give big effect on the local economic environment.

•For example, in the Bakun Hydro Project, it was given to Sime Darby and Chinese partner at RM1.8billion and the cost overruns in the project amounting to RM900 million. On top of that, the Government has already compensated Sime Darby with about RM700 million. So, the total cost overruns would be almost equal to the bided price of RM 1.8 billion.

•In this case, the engineer and consultant in Sime Darby must be able to identify at the early stage if they can’t be able to build a dam at RM1.8billion. Therefore, the responsibility for the cost overruns should be share and not only the CEO is responsible.

•It was due to the advantages of size and economies of scale that Sime Darby, Guthrie and Golden Hope decided to merge. It is clearly that the benefits of merger in Sime Darby have so far not outweighed the disadvantages.

•The merger brought about the huge conglomerate with great financial prowess that could take up to RM2bil losses at its energy and utility division, which gobbled up all the great profits made at its other divisions.

•The strength of Sime Darby was used to get into projects in which it had limited or no expertise – big mistake.

•If energy and utilities had been a company listed on its own, this probably would not happen, because no one would have given it a job that big based on its value.

•The 100-year-old-company, has diversified into business ranging from plantation and shipbuilding to property development.

•Set up in 1910 as an operator of rubber plantations, Sime also made an unsuccessful foray into banking in the 1990s. The company sold control of Sime Bank in 1999 after posting a loss of RM540.9 million the previous year, its first losses in two decade.

•Therefore, it shows how Sime Darby decision on the investment that they are not expert in, will contribute as a big losses to the company.

•Sime Darby should leave to the other GLC to handle on other diversified business that they are not expert in, and work hand in hand with other firm to lower their risk in any new investment division.

ConclusionConclusionSime Darby is Malaysian based conglomerate company that is financially sound.

Sime Darby is no exception to controversy. Its cost overrun in Qatar oil & gas project and Bakun hydro-electric dam has operating loss around RM 1.8 billion

Whilst it is good for them to diversify, steering away too far from their core business, their business strength which is plantation might not be a good idea. This is due to their inexperience in managing those other businesses.

Based on their current situations, we found out that the problem that they face is because they lack experience in the project that they bid for and their corporate governance is ineffective.

After running an analysis of their SWOT, we recommend that they focus back to their core business and dispose all of the unprofitable non-core business. We also would like to propose that they revert to their original corporate structure as their current structure is not suitable for their business operation.
