Cover Rationale
To ensure the sustainability of
Malaysia Airports’ business in a
year during which the aviation
industry was badly hit, we
took immediate measures to
strengthen our ability to ride
out the challenging operating
environment. Nevertheless,
our business operates in an
eco-system in which
stakeholders are dependent
on one another. By advancing
strong value propositions
and synergistic solutions for
stakeholders, we will emerge
stronger together, and ready
to soar again.

Introduction
This is Malaysia Airports’ third year of integrated reporting. The report has been prepared with reference to the principles of the
International Integrated Reporting Framework (<IR> framework) developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council
(IIRC).
We strive to continuously improve the quality of information available to our stakeholders and reporting practices through
adoption of the <IR> Framework, in consonance with the recommendations in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance
(MCCG) 2017 on integrated reporting.
The report aims to provide our stakeholders with transparent, relevant and integrated information of our business strategy,
performance, and future prospects in the context of economy, social and environment, leading to the creation of stakeholder value
over the short, medium and long-term. We are guided by our vision to be 'A Global Airport Group that Champions Connectivity
and Sustainability' and are resolute in our brand promise of 'Hosting Joyful Connections'.
Improvements of disclosure in Malaysia Airports’ Integrated Report for FY2020 are as follows:
Frameworks applied:
• Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
• Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards
• International Financial Reporting Standards
• Companies Act 2016
• Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2017
• Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for Sustainability Reporting - Core Option
The full report is also available online on our corporate website at www.malaysiaairports.com.my

Value Creation
Our focus on value creation is driven by championing connectivity as a global airport group and sustainability of airport
communities that we serve. We relentlessly strategise on the mobilisation of our six capitals to coordinate, educate, support
and collaborate with our stakeholders and monitor value creation outcomes to enhance resiliency. As we navigate ongoing
transformation towards progressive recovery, our goal is to enhance interaction with stakeholders, providing material insights that
consider inter-relatedness and dependencies between factors that drive our value creation journey. Our value creation model is
further disclosed on pages 24 to 79.
Materiality
Malaysia Airports applies the principle of materiality to determine the content of our integrated report and defines materiality as
matters that substantially affect the Group’s ability to create and sustain value over the short, medium and long-term.
These matters were identified, prioritised and validated via a materiality assessment described in page 66. Our key stakeholders
were engaged during this process, and this has enabled the Group to incorporate their inputs into our business perspective. Our
strategic responses to these material matters are presented in pages 66 to 77.
This report contains forward looking statements, for example, Malaysia Airports’ future direction, strategies, and potential
opportunities for growth. These statements are based on various assumptions and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties
and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Group. Unanticipated events and actual future events may differ
materially from current expectations due to new business opportunities, changes in priorities by the Group and other factors.
Assurance
Malaysia Airports obtained independent third-party assurance for the following information:

Information on Exclusions
Malaysia Airports’ disclosure appetite guides the limitations of information available in this report. As we strive to provide a
balance between positive and negative information, several requirements of the <IR> Framework have been excluded due to the
unavailability of reliable information or specific legal prohibitions.

Malaysia Airports is responsible for the operational safety and security, management and maintenance of the airports. The services
and facilities provided are divided into two main sections known as the landside (terminal, carpark and any other public areas on
airport land) and the airside (aprons, runways, and taxiways).
Malaysia Airports works with key agencies such as the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) to ensure the safety and
security of airport operations, particularly at the airside through regulations, oversight and monitoring of the technical and safety
standards. The Air Traffic Control under CAAM coordinates aircraft navigation and is responsible for the safe movement of aircraft,
including take-offs, landings, and taxiing.
In ensuring effective and efficient management at our airports, Malaysia Airports collaborates with a range of partners, for
instance, government agencies such as the Immigration Department of Malaysia and Royal Malaysian Customs Department as
well as private entities such as airlines and ground handlers. Malaysia Airports works closely with these parties in key areas at
checkpoints such as check-in, immigration, customs checks, and baggage and ground handling.
We provide a seamless end-to-end journey for passengers throughout our airports from the onset of their journeys as they arrive
by car, bus and train up until the boarding gates. We also offer a wide of range of retail and food and beverages outlets, operated
by Malaysia Airports and its business partners, for passengers, meeters and greeters.
In addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, we have given full support to the Ministry of Health (MOH) in implementing health
and safety measures at our airports. These include the placement of thermal scanners at the airport and physical distancing
markers as well as the implementation of COVID-19 screening by MOH personnel for all passengers at the departing and arriving
touchpoints at our airports.

Annual Report 2020 >> Our Value Creation Strategy 33
Our strategy is developed by taking into consideration our external environment, risks and opportunities as well as matters that
could affect the achievement of strategic objectives and substantively the Group’s ability to create value over time.
The COVID-19 pandemic had brought sudden and unprecedented challenges to our business operations, resulting in massive
revenue shortfall due to the rapid decline in air travel demand. Despite that, the safety and comfort of passengers continue to be
our top priority. We focus on being continuously proactive by working collaboratively with our partners in order to meet the needs
of passengers and survive the crisis.
While we focus on surviving and stabilising from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our strategy will chart a path forward
to continue the momentum to recovery and capture potential growth by strengthening capabilities for long-term business
sustainability.
We have crafted a 5-Year Strategy and Transformation Plan, known as the Future F.I.T., which aims to make Malaysia Airports
Financially sustainable, Impact driven and Technology focused. Future F.I.T. sets out the Group’s strategic direction for the next five
years (2021 – 2025), consisting of two phases: Phase 1 (Survival and Recovery Plan) and Phase 2 (Growth and Transformation Plan).
Five main strategic themes namely Survivability, Fixing the Basics, Horizontal Expansion, Digitalisation and Critical Asset Replacement,
form the basis of our strategic endeavours under Phase 1 (2021 - 2022): Malaysia Airports Survival and Recovery Plan.
Our Phase 2 (2023 - 2025): Malaysia Airports Growth and Transformation Plan is anchored by three strategic thrusts namely
Maximising Revenue Generation, Developing New Capabilities and Ensuring Business Sustainability.
Future F.I.T. is further supported by four key enablers namely Operational Excellence and Innovation, Governance and Process,
Communication and Branding and Human Capital, which serve as the mechanisms to reflect our core values and to accomplish
our strategy.
In the following disclosures, we will discuss in detail all strategic themes and key enablers, each with its own key activities to create
value for FY2020, short to medium term focus, performance indicators, link to material matters and associated risks.

Malaysia Airports constantly engages a wide range of internal and external stakeholders through various platforms to gain the
insights on current interests and concerns that reflect significant economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) impacts
and matters that influence the assessments and decisions of key stakeholders.
As part of the continued efforts of the Group to identify matters that are crucial to its ability to create long-term value, a detailed
stakeholder engagement through materiality assessment workshop was conducted in FY2020. This workshop aimed to understand
and discuss the key stakeholders’ interests and concerns in order to assist the Group in realigning shared sustainability goals and
key initiatives for long-term value creation, in consideration of the new business environment due to COVID-19.
The materiality assessment workshop that took place at Sama-Sama Hotel KLIA in September 2020 involved a total of about 60
individuals from different stakeholder groups such as airlines and ground handlers, regulators and government, tenants, vendors
and service providers, and Malaysia Airports’ employees.
Some of the attendees of the workshop include representatives from Malaysia Airlines Berhad, AirAsia Group Berhad, Malaysian
Aviation Commission (MAVCOM), Ministry of Transport, Department of Environment Malaysia, Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia
(CAAM), Khazanah Nasional Berhad, Valiram Group, Gateaway@klia2, Grab Malaysia, and Express Rail Link Sdn Bhd.
Through the workshop we gained valuable insights that were used as inputs in the materiality assessment process. Besides, the
workshop also provided a platform to discuss relevant goals and initiatives for each of the material issue identified and prioritised
during the exercise.
These inputs, together with the results from Malaysia Airports’ internal materiality assessment survey, together formed the
consolidated materiality matrix, leading to the prioritisation of eight most material matters, as explained on page 64 of this report.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, matters such as containment of the health crisis, restoration of consumer confidence in air
travel and getting the industry back flying again emerged as some of the key interests among the attended stakeholders.
66 Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad >> Our Value Creation Strategy
MATERIAL MATTERS
Material matters are those that substantively affect our ability to create value over time.
The matters are not limited to those that have a significant financial impact on the Group
but also includes consideration of Economic, Environmental and Social impacts that affect
the ability to meet the needs of the present and future generations.
Having in place a materiality assessment process enables us to map out our material matters, which contributes to better business
strategy development over time.
This year, we enhanced the previous material matters with internal and external materiality assessment workshop, taking into
consideration of COVID-19. This reassement enables us to support the refinement of priorities and to obtain the information
required in reassessing matters that are material for the airport community in Malaysia. This assessment is aligned with Bursa
Malaysia’s recommendation that an annual review of material matters be conducted to ensure that they remain current and
aligned to the business and interest of our key stakeholders.
IDENTIFICATION
A comprehensive list of material matters was identified based on a review and analysis of both internal and
external sources of information including our strategic framework, media review, peer benchmarking, sector-
specific regulations, standards as well as industry trends and challenges. Engagements with internal and external
stakeholders were also conducted to assess their needs and concerns.
PRIORITISATION
Key representatives of internal stakeholders (e.g. senior management and head of departments across the
business) and external stakeholders (e.g. airlines, regulators, tenants, vendors and service providers) met in a
workshop to review, discuss and prioritise the identified material matters to form a materiality matrix.
VALIDATION
The materiality matrix was validated by senior management and approved by the Board.
The findings from this assessment process were used to refresh the materiality matrix for FY2020. Kindly refer to the Stakeholder
Engagement section for more details regarding the workshop.
Airport Capacity is now the top priority in the Extremely High category; its shift in position can be seen from the impact to Malaysia
Airports and the significance to key stakeholders. This is reflective of key stakeholders' interests to prepare the airports for future
demand as public confidence in air travel increases.
Transportation and Connectivity has also moved up from Very High to Extremely High category in comparison to FY2019 materiality
matrix. Passengers are demanding for a seamless airport journey as well as airports being a user friendly transportation hub with
equal accessibility for all. Beyond these shifts, the overall results of FY2020 assessment remain largely consistent with the previous
year, particularly with regard to our top most material issues.
Annual Report 2020 >> Our Value Creation Strategy 67
Materiality Matrix
The Materiality Matrix below is developed in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards framework to demonstrate
the findings of our materiality assessment process. The Materiality Matrix plots material matters in two dimensions - the impact to
Malaysia Airports and the significance to Key Stakeholders.
It guides us in addressing and managing matters of utmost importance for the business as well as stakeholders. We have classified
the materiality into three categories: high, very high, and extremely high. These material matters are mapped against Malaysia
Airports' Sustainability Framework which sets out five Sustainability Pillars - Practising Sensible Economics, Environmental
Consciousness, Creating an Inspiring Workforce, Community-Friendly Organisation and Memorable Airport Experience. These
Pillars are illustrated in the Matrix below.
In this report, Malaysia Airports focuses on disclosures of the top eight Extremely High material matters. A more complete

public health measures.
Stakeholders Involved
Initiatives/Activities
The Single Token Journey: This initiative promotes a contactless journey through the airport using facial recognition technology
so that with a single identification verification, passengers can navigate all the airport’s touchpoints from check-in to the boarding
gate.
'Happy Guests, Caring Hosts': We formulated an online refresher course for the ‘Happy Guests, Caring Hosts’ programme and
made it compulsory for all Malaysia Airports’ employees to participate to ensure that our employees are ‘ready for action’ once
the industry recovers.
#1Improvement1Week: Malaysia Airports initiated this to continuously improve passengers’ experience at our airports.
Approximately 150 improvements have been made since 2018 for a more seamless journey for passengers navigating the airport.
50 of them were implemented in 2020 focusing on the safety and security of passengers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Enhancements to Airport Infrastructure: We proceeded to make enhancements to airport infrastructure to improve the
experience of our guests in the future. This includes the completion of runway rehabilitation works, the replacement of the
Baggage Handling System and Aerotrain, IT core network upgrading and the Commercial Reset.
Washroom Refurbishment: Malaysia Airports launched the Washroom Improvement Programme in efforts to improve our
washroom performance to meet the MAVCOM's Quality of Service framework. This enabled KUL to consistently pass monthly
washroom inspections by MAVCOM in Q3 2020 and contributed to KUL being placed in the top 10 performing airports in the
global Airport Service Quality (ASQ) survey for 2020 for airports >40mppa.

Initiatives/Activities
Corporate Crisis Management Team (CCMT): In March, we activated the CCMT as part of our business continuity plans. The
CCMT, which is chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, provided strategic direction and communications pertaining
to recovery and sustainability of Malaysia Airports' business operations, maintenance of service levels and engagement with
stakeholders. The CCMT convened regularly throughout the year, logging weekly meetings in 2020.
KUL COVID-19 Committee: This committee was formed to ensure a coordinated response by Malaysia Airports, government
agencies and relevant stakeholders. Together, the multi-stakeholder committee brainstormed and rolled out new measures to
comply with SOPs prescribed by the National Security Council, and to create a contactless and sanitised airport environment to
build public confidence in the safety of our airports, while maintaining smooth operational flow.
New Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): These incorporate public health measures in the airport terminal which include
physical distancing, the mandatory use of face masks by guests and the airport community in the terminal, contact tracing, entry
and exit temperature screening for arriving and departing passengers, facilitation of COVID-19 testing by Ministry of Health
officials for arriving passengers, the availability of hand sanitisers throughout the terminal and the issuance of personal protective
equipment to employees based on their job requirements.
Awareness: To keep our passengers and airport community vigilant, we made frequent announcements within the terminals on
social distancing, put up physical and digital signages and communicated with the public regularly via the mainstream media
and social media. We increased internal communication to staff and airport stakeholders via email and weekly committee
engagements.
Annual Report 2020 >> Our Value Creation Strategy 73
The Passenger Reconciliation System: This automated security screening system heightens security and airline operational
efficiency by scanning and matching information on passenger travel documents to the airline’s passenger database in real time.
It alerts the airline if, for example, there is a need to offload a passenger’s baggage in the event of a no-show. It also enables the
airport to operate an ‘open gate’ system.
Leveraging technology: New safety equipment has also been deployed at the airports including state-of-the-art thermal
scanners and security scanners as well as sneeze guards.
Sanitising and disinfecting the airport: The airports’ common amenities and facilities such as lifts, counter tops, trolleys,
doorknobs and handrails are sanitised regularly. Public areas in the airports are sanitised eight times a day or once every three
hours. Ultra-violet technology is used to sterilise handrails at walkalators and escalators, disinfect washrooms and disinfect all
arriving baggage at KUL.

The Chairmen and members of each Board Committee are appointed by the Board. As part of the Company’s corporate
governance practice, during each Board meeting, the Chairmen of the respective Board Committees will brief on the deliberation
and outcome of the Board Committee meetings held prior to each Board meeting. The minutes of the Board Committee meetings
would be tabled to the Board for information. This would enable the Board to provide its comments or views on all deliberations
and decisions of the Board Committees.
Throughout 2020, all Board members attended more than 50% of the Board meetings held during the financial year and complied
with Paragraph 15.05 (3)(c) of the Listing Requirements and the provision of the Constitution of the Company. The calculation of
percentage of attendance is based on each Director’s date of appointment.
Board and Board Committee meetings for the following financial year are scheduled in advance before the end of the present
financial year to enable the Directors to plan accordingly and fit the year’s meetings into their schedules. As and when required,
Special Board meetings may be held to consider urgent proposals or matters that require urgent decision or deliberation by the
Board. Special Board meetings are normally held without tabling the minutes or matters arising from previous meetings.
As a permanent agenda of Board and Board Committee meetings, the Directors have a duty to declare should they have any
interest, whether directly or indirectly, on any agenda item or transaction proposed to be entered into by the Company. An
interested Director shall abstain from deliberation and decision making on the said agenda item or transaction. In the event
a corporate proposal is required to be approved by the shareholders, any interested Director shall abstain from voting on the
resolutions relating to the corporate proposals and shall further undertake to ensure that persons connected to them similarly
abstain from voting on the resolutions.

Risk Treatment
Key risks are risks deemed as having significant and material impact to the Malaysia Airports. Throughout 2020 and continuing
through 2021 to date, the permeating peril was the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the specific negative impacts
it has on the aviation industry, in particular for Malaysia Airports, as an airport operator.
Among the major consequences of the spread of COVID-19 was international border closures worldwide and travel restrictions.
For 2020, there was a severe drop in passenger traffic in our airports (a decrease of 69.6% Groupwide against 2019) which
consequently impacted both our Aero (e.g. Passenger Service Charge (PSC) and Landing and Parking Charges) and non-Aero
revenues (e.g. Retail & Commercial Rentals). Malaysia Airports’ business partners were also not spared by the pandemic which
in turn brought into focus the continued sustainability of the partnerships and the recoverability of amounts owed to Malaysia
Airports. During this time, there were several planned replacements and refurbishments requiring significant CAPEX particularly
at the main airport i.e. KLIA. Thus, in ensuring better management of the cashflows, these projects have undergone prioritisation
as well as negotiations through a number of workshops in staging out the CAPEX over a few years.
Equal concern was also accorded in ensuring the continued health and safety of customers of Malaysia Airports’ facilities and
the employees who are serving them. With the continued spread of COVID-19, efforts were not spared in carrying out Malaysia
Airports’ role as the guardian of Malaysia’s gateways.
Realising the importance and significance of being able to rapidly anticipate and respond to arising related issues due to
COVID-19, since March 2020, i.e. start of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia, the leadership held weekly COVID-19
meetings to better manage key risks. The Committee is headed by the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and permanent
members comprise of all Executive Committee (ExCo) members. The following are highlights of the key risk areas.
186 Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad >> Our Governance
FINANCIAL
CHALLENGES:
Liquidity Risk
This refers to the risk that Malaysia Airports was unable to meet its future cash payments or other financial obligations. Among
others, this related to major commitments such as undertakings for significant CAPEX investments, concession and User Fee
payments due and maturity of the Sukuk financings.
Credit Risk
There was concern over the recoverability of amounts due to Malaysia Airports from its business partners due to prolonged
impact of COVID-19 on their business conditions.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
Governance: Established COVID-19 Crisis Management Team
One of the main actions in managing this risk was the establishment of the COVID-19 Crisis Management Team as mentioned
above in order to facilitate faster deliberation on arising related issues and decision-making.
Implemented measures to strengthen financial position and manage liquidity risk:
a) Operational expenses containment and cash conservation
In order to conserve cash reserves, measures as below were taken:
• Recalibrated operational efficiencies
• Rebased cost
• Prioritised capital expenditure
b) Addressing Liquidity Risk
At the onset of the year 2020, Malaysia Airports was on a strong liquidity position entering into the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nonetheless, it has since undertaken several stress tests on its liquidity position and taken pre-emptive measures to
ensure continued liquidity. These measures included securing additional credit facilities, refinancing initiatives resulting
in lower costs of financing and renegotiated favourable terms to existing financing facilities.
c) Cash Recovery
Malaysia Airports proactively initiated a cash recovery plan on trade and other receivables outstanding, working closely
with the Government of Malaysia, airlines and commercial tenants.
d) Divestment Strategy
Malaysia Airports aimed to divest its non-strategic assets upon achieving the desired price consideration.
Creation of New Revenue Stream
- shopMYairports e-Commerce platform was developed and launched in Quarter 4 2020
- Hastening of commercial reset programme
- Conducted several airport megasales
- Sama Sama Hotels organised airport staycation programme
Supporting Initiatives
- Social media channels covering Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for Malaysia Airports were key in creating awareness
of not only activities at the airports but also on upcoming sales drive to assist in commercial initiatives carried out. In
Quarter 4 2020, the shopMYairports Instagram account was created to support the e-Commerce platform. Promotional
adverts online were also deployed to targeted members of the public.
Annual Report 2020 >> Our Governance 187
CHALLENGES:
Health & Safety Risk
Ensuring staff and stakeholders’ wellbeing in times of COVID-19.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
Malaysia Airports was and is diligent in ensuring Government’s directives and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
regarding COVID-19 were being followed. At the start of the pandemic, the Multi-agency Airport Crisis Management Teams
were activated at the airports.
Sanitisation activities both at the airports as well as in the offices were ramped up. High touch areas’ cleaning schedules were
increased whilst detective equipment such as thermal / temperature scanners were installed. Protective equipment such as
sneeze guards at counters were also installed at the airports. Operationally, the ‘New Normal’ was in place which includes
minimising the numbers of staff being deployed in line with the directives.
Fast-tracking of contactless technology implementation timelines i.e. single token and facial recognition technology.
OPERATIONAL
CHALLENGES:
Assets, and Technology – Ageing Assets and Parts Obsolescence
Optimal working conditions of critical assets and facilities were paramount in meeting service quality standards and
operational performance for the comfort and convenience of airport users.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
Continuous efforts to review, monitor and replace assets to ensure optimal operations. In the meantime, planned preventive
maintenance and optimisation programmes took place.
Client Office was set-up in 2020 to focus on the Baggage Handling System (BHS) and Track Transit System (TTS) projects
for KLIA with RM400m being earmarked for CAPEX in 2021. BHS project updates became a standing agenda item in the
Executive Committee (ExCo) meetings.
188 Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad >> Our Governance
STRATEGIC
CHALLENGES:
Operating Agreement (OA) – Unfavourable Terms
Terms of the new OA have a significant bearing to MAHB’s business model. Thus, this may impact the operations and
financials of the Group if the terms were unfavourable.
Preservation of the networked-based operating model of Malaysia Airports
The airports under Malaysia Airports is managed on a cross subsidisation model as more than 75% of the networked airports
were not commercially viable. Any model whereby a profitable airport(s) or business is taken out of the network would
jeopardise the ability of the Group to cross subsidise the rest.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
Malaysia Airport have been continuously engaging relevant stakeholders i.e. Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Finance,
Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM), Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) etc. regarding the OA on an ongoing
basis. Expected target for the new OA to be signed is the second half of 2021.
Besides this, Malaysia Airports also continuously ensured alignment with key stakeholders on Malaysia Airports’ corporate
priorities and constantly on the look out to identify and establish new relationships and opportunities with potential key
stakeholders.
Achieving awards and recognitions from international industry organisations and via independent surveys that reflected
Malaysia Airports’ solid operational capabilities and credibility in managing airports.
The Board through the BRMC and other relevant Board Committees, monitors and reviews the controls and action plans taken by
Management to address the key risks at a minimum on quarterly basis.
The Group’s internal control system is embedded within the operating activities and Board’s review of internal control effectiveness,
centred on the COSO framework, is based on information from:
• Key management within the organisation with the responsibility for the development and maintenance of the risk management
and internal control framework;
• The work of the Internal Auditors, who submit regular reports to the Board Audit Committee which include their independent
and objective opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the organisation’s systems of risk management and internal
control together with recommendations for improvement; and
• Comments made by the External Auditors in their Management Letter and other reports.

AFFIRMATION BY THE GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND GROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
In relation to the risk management process, the Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer to the best of
their ability and knowledge confirm that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and
effectively as at 31 December 2020.
Pursuant to paragraph 15.23 of the Bursa Malaysia Listing Requirements, the External Auditors have reviewed this Statement for
inclusion in the 2020 Annual Report of MAHB Group, and have reported to the Board that nothing has come to their attention that
causes them to believe that the Statement is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the disclosures required
by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers,
nor is the Statement factually inaccurate.
CONCLUSION
The Board and Management will continue to take measures to strengthen the control environment and monitor the health of the
risk management and internal controls framework.

Dividend Policy
In our commitment to reward shareholders as well as to strengthen the Group’s capital base, Malaysia Airports had established a
dividend reinvestment plan (DRP). The DRP allows shareholders of Malaysia Airports to reinvest their dividends into new ordinary
share(s) in Malaysia Airports. The rationale for the DRP is as follows:
(i) enhance shareholders’ value via the subscription of new Malaysia Airports shares where the new Malaysia Airports shares
issued typically bears a discount
(ii) provide the shareholders with greater flexibility in meeting their investment objectives by providing a choice of receiving cash
or reinvesting in Malaysia Airports
(iii) dividends that are reinvested are utilised to fund the continuing business growth of the Group; and
(iv) improve liquidity of Malaysia Airports’ shares traded on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
The details of the past DRP exercises completed by the Company is as shown in the table below:

Explanatory Note A
12. The Audited Financial Statements are laid in accordance with Section 340(1)(a) of the CA 2016 and meant for discussion only
as they do not require shareholders’ approval pursuant to Section 251(1) of the CA 2016. As such, this agenda item is not to
be put forward for voting.
13. Section 230(1) of the CA 2016 provides amongst others, that “the fees” of the directors, and “any benefits” payable to the
directors of a listed company and its subsidiaries shall be approved at a general meeting. In this respect, the Board has
agreed that the shareholders’ approval shall be sought at the 22nd AGM on the Directors’ fees and benefits payable with
effect from 3 June 2021 until the next AGM in 2022 (“Relevant Period”).
14. Shareholders’ approval is to be sought on the payment of Directors’ fees and benefits of an amount up to RM5,000,000.00
to the NED throughout the Relevant Period as follows:
a. The payment of Directors’ fees for NED for the Relevant Period is based on the following fee structure:
1. Directors’ fees for the Company RM18,000 per month RM12,000 per month
2. Directors’ fees for the Company’s subsidiaries RM4,000 per month RM3,000 per month

c. In determining the estimated total amount of Directors’ fees and benefits payable for the NED during the Relevant
Period, the Board has considered various factors including the number of scheduled and special meetings for the
Board, Board Committees and Boards of the Company’s subsidiaries and the number of NED involved in these
meetings based on the current number of NED as well as inclusion of provisional sum as a contingency for future
appointment of NED on the Boards of the Company’s subsidiaries and increase in the number of Board and Board
Committees meetings.
d. Payment of the Directors’ fees and benefits to the NED will be made on a monthly basis and/or as and when they are
incurred subject to the passing of the proposed Ordinary Resolution 1 at the 22nd AGM.
e. The Board is of the view that it is just and equitable for the NED to be paid the Directors’ fees and benefits payable
on a monthly basis and/or as and when they are incurred, particularly after the Directors have discharged their
responsibilities and rendered their services to the Company and its subsidiaries throughout the Relevant Period.
f. In the event where the payment of Directors’ fees and benefits during the Relevant Period exceeds the estimated
amount sought to be approved in the 22nd AGM, a shareholders’ approval shall be sought at the next AGM in 2022 on
the payment of the additional amount.
g. Ordinary Resolution 1 is proposed in accordance with Rule 114 of the Constitution of the Company, and if passed,
shall take effect from 3 June 2021.
