Service of document on a Sdn Bhd is by leaving a copy of the said document at the registered address of the Company
Normally, the registered address will be the Company Secretary’s office, lawyer’s office eg. Chua Secretarial Services, Ah Chong Public Accountants, Muthu & Co. etc. It doesn’t matter what is the name of the company at the registered address. But the document must be left at the premises/office of the registered address (2nd Floor means 2nd Floor).
The document will almost always be acknowledged receipt at the registered address.
In the event, the receptionist at the registered office does not want to acknowledge receipt, then the document should be just left at the premises/office (not at the post box etc).
After the document is served, the person who serves the document will have to affirm an Statutory Declaration stating that he served the document at the registered address.
It is important that the document is actually served at the registered address otherwise the entire proceeding can be jeopardized. Therefore it is better to have an acknowledgment from the “accountant/secretary, lawyers etc” at the registered address
Since service of the document is by leaving a copy at the registered address, service can always be done on a Sdn Bhd. (with or without acknowledgement)
