Personal Involvement: a person’s directorships and shareholdings.
To find which companies a person is a director or shareholder of, buy a Personal Involvement search on SAFEDATA-SSM (safedata-ssm.com), looked up by the person's MyKad number. It gives information on what that person holds as a director or shareholder in Malaysian companies, from SSM's own records.

What is a Personal Involvement search?
A Personal Involvement search starts from a person instead of a company, and its search key is the person's MyKad number.
- Starts from
- A person’s MyKad number
- Gives
- What the person holds as a director or shareholder
- Then
- Each company’s own documents, by company name or registration number
SSM lists Personal Involvement in Companies among the products obtainable from the portals of the service providers it appoints. SAFEDATA-SSM is run by Safeguards KioskMedia (M) Sdn. Bhd., appointed by SSM (the Companies Commission of Malaysia) as its Technology and Service Provider for the SAFEDATA-SSM Services, and its documents are sourced directly from SSM.
The person's MyKad number has to come from them or from a document you already hold: SSM's sample Particulars of Directors/Officers prints each director's IC or passport number. For a person who has no MyKad, ask SAFEDATA-SSM customer service before you buy.
How is Personal Involvement different from company particulars?
Personal Involvement answers a question about a person; company particulars answer one about a company, such as who its directors or shareholders are, and are searched by company name or registration number. SSM describes the Particulars of Directors/Officers as covering a company's current directors and officers and previous ones for the last 15 years, so a company's past board is found from the company side.
| Question | PersonPersonal Involvement | CompanyCompany particulars |
|---|---|---|
| You start from | A person’s MyKad number | A company’s name or 12-digit registration number |
| You get | The person’s roles as director or shareholder, across companies | One part of the company’s record per particular, such as its directors and officers or its shareholders |
| Use it to | Follow one person across companies | Look up one company’s people, current and past |

What do you do with what it finds?
Safeguards KioskMedia names entrepreneurs checking partners among SAFEDATA-SSM's users. Before a deal, for example, a Personal Involvement search on a prospective partner shows what SSM records them holding as a shareholder or director, which tells you which companies to look at next. For each of those companies, SAFEDATA-SSM sells SSM's documents, searched by company name or registration number, from the current Company Profile to the Attestation of Company Good Standing.
To check a sole proprietorship or partnership a person owns, buy that business's own Business Profile, which SSM describes as including information of the business's current and previous owner. There is more in the guide on finding the directors and shareholders of a Malaysian company.
