Generally, if no management power is reserved for the shareholders, the shareholders may not give instructions to the directors or override their decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enshrined in the Companies Act (Cap 50) (the \u201cAct\u201d) is the principle \/ rule that directors are empowered to manage the affairs of a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save for certain provisions in the Act and powers expressly reserved in the company\u2019s constitution to shareholders, this rule has few exceptions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where powers are reserved for the shareholders, these usually relate to important matters which directly affect the shareholder\u2019s rights or interests, e.g. to approve amendments to the company\u2019s constitution, or to restructure the company\u2019s share capital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shareholders express their collective \u201cwill\u201d by voting at general meetings, and are therefore also regarded as a decision making body of the company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shareholder \u2013 Rights &amp; Liabilities&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All shareholders have certain rights conferred upon them by the Act, the constitution or the general law. These rights may only be exercised by a person who is a shareholder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are personal rights of each shareholder, which the company or any other person generally cannot interfere with the exercise of such right (including but not limited to the following):-&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a) <strong>Observance of the company\u2019s constitution<\/strong>; the constitution is a contract among the shareholders inter se and between the shareholders and the company. Every shareholder has a statutory right to have the constitution observed by every other shareholder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b) <strong>Restraining ultra vires and illegal acts<\/strong>; a shareholder has a right to restrain a threatened breach of the law. A shareholder also has a right to restrain the doing of an act that is beyond the company\u2019s capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c) <strong>Attendance at general meetings and voting<\/strong>; a shareholder has a right to attend any general meeting of the company and to speak at such meetings. The power to vote is not a fiduciary power and a shareholder need not consider only the interests of the company but may vote in what he\/she considers to be his\/her own interests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d) <strong>The right to be treated fairly<\/strong>; it is necessary that there be safeguards to prevent the majority from abusing power to bind the minority. In addition to the Act, the Courts have developed rules to protect the minority. Section 216 of the Act provides recourse to a minority shareholder being oppressed by the majority \u2013 minority oppression lawsuits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e) <strong>Access to records and right to information<\/strong>; for shareholders to be kept informed of the company\u2019s affairs, a shareholder can inspect the registers maintained by the company. Every shareholder is entitled to be informed of the company\u2019s financial position. However, unlike a director, a shareholder does not have an \u201cunqualified right to [the company\u2019s] financial information\u201d (Ezion Holdings v Teras Cargo Transport Pte Ltd [2016] SGHC 175).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">f) <strong>Residual powers of management<\/strong>; shareholders have reserve powers, albeit very limited, to undertake decisions solely to resolve an impasse at the board of directors (Chan Siew Lee v TYC Investment Pte Ltd and Ors [2015] SGCA 40).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">g) <strong>Commencing a derivative action (Section 216A of the Act)<\/strong>; shareholders may commence proceedings for wrongs done to the company that directors, who may themselves be the wrongdoers, are unwilling to pursue. It holds errant directors to account.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our directors can be contacted at:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Lee :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mlclaw.com.sg\/director\/mark-lee\/\"><strong><em>Profile<\/em><\/strong><\/a>; &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:mark.lee@mlclaw.com.sg\">mark.lee@mlclaw.com.sg<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah Yeo :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mlclaw.com.sg\/director\/sarah-yeo\/\"><em><strong>Profile<\/strong><\/em><\/a>; &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:mark.lee@mlclaw.com.sg\">sarah.yeo@mlclaw.com.sg<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full article can be downloaded at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"mlc-authors\" aria-label=\"About the author\"><p class=\"mlc-h\">About the author<\/p><div class=\"mlc-cards\"><div class=\"mlc-card\"><span class=\"mlc-ph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mlclaw.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/99e7383a9d0450bed63a232444addd7db4883576-200x300.png\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Mark Lee\" style=\"width:148%;left:-12%;top:0\" loading=\"lazy\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/mlclaw.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/99e7383a9d0450bed63a232444addd7db4883576-200x300.png\" alt=\"Mark Lee\" style=\"width:148%;left:-12%;top:0\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/noscript><\/span><div><p class=\"mlc-n\">Mark Lee<\/p><p class=\"mlc-r\">Managing Director \u00b7 Singapore Bar<\/p><p class=\"mlc-b\">Mark has a deep specialisation in corporate law, corporate governance, joint ventures, and shareholder and boardroom disputes.
