This study examines the effect of ownership contestability and corporate governance on corporate expropriation
in Malaysia. The results of this study show that firms with the presence of only controlling shareholder are strongly
influenced corporate expropriation. Firms with higher percentage of controlling shareholder pay lower dividend
to their shareholders indicating the possibility of expropriation through profit diversion. In regards to the role of
corporate governance, it can be concluded that large board size positively influenced expropriation only in firms
with large shareholders. Moreover, foreign board members have a significant influence on expropriation in firms
with the presence of large shareholders with and without controlling shareholders. Furthermore, the board
remuneration has significant influence on expropriation in firm with the presence of only large shareholders. The
outcome contributes towards a better understanding on the monitoring role of corporate ownership as a corporate
governance mechanism in alleviating corporate expropriation in Malaysia. |
