The sample comprises panel data of 293 companies listed on the Main and Second Board of Bursa Malaysia spanning over a period of twelve-years from 1995 to 2006.

Subsequently, multiple linear regressions using fixed effect method was conducted for each period before and after implementation of MCCG in 2001 and by sector to determine the effects (if any). 2013-03 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/5880/ http://library.mmu.edu.my/diglib/onlinedb/dig_lib.php phd doctoral Multimedia University Faculty of Business
