Market Insight: Company Secretary
Company secretary is a licensed profession in Malaysia — you need a recognised qualification (such as MAICSA) and a practising certificate to sign off, which is precisely why qualified secretaries are well paid. Demand is steady and recession-resistant because every company must keep its statutory compliance current. Those in corporate-secretarial firms juggling many clients earn differently from in-house secretaries at listed companies, where the role shades into governance and board support. Handling listed-entity and Bursa compliance commands the higher end.
