Rights and obligations of shareholders under the laws of Singapore and Japan, and a comparison with Vietnamese law
Authors
Vo Trung Hau, Nguyen Ngoc Sang
Abstract
In the corporate governance model,
particularly in joint-stock companies, shareholders' rights play a crucial role
in the management and operations of the company. In Singapore and Japan, the
law clearly defines the fundamental rights of shareholders, including the right
to vote at general meetings of shareholders, the right to receive dividends,
the right to request information, and the right to protect their interests
against violations. In Vietnam, shareholders' rights are also stipulated in the
Law on Enterprises; however, the enforcement mechanisms and protection for
shareholders, predominantly minority shareholders, need to be positively
oriented to ensure the comprehensive development of shareholder rights. This
analysis and comparison aim to highlight similarities and differences, thereby
proposing solutions to improve Vietnam's legal framework to enhance the
effectiveness of shareholder rights protection.
