39+ Years Of Advocacy & Impact
Our Story

A Legacy Built By Collective Purpose.

FPLC was formed in 1987 through a historic, collective corporate initiative — a true industry umbrella "Federation" driven by the shared commitment of Malaysia's public listed companies rather than by a single individual founder.

We exist to inspire and promote business sustainability across our PLCs community. Our members, listed on Bursa Malaysia, together advocate for the impactful voice of Malaysian public listed companies and shape industries towards sustainable and desired potentials.

Over the decades, FPLC has played a proactive role in establishing key institutions such as the Securities Commission, the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board, and the Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance.
