DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS

Malaysia Brand Day (MBD) implementing a due diligence process for exhibitors is crucial to maintain the integrity and quality of the event.

Here’s a structured process flow for checking each exhibitor, including the company, directors, branding story, and logo design.

MBD Exhibitor Due Diligence Process Flow

Step 1: Exhibitor Application Submission
  • Online application form submission with required documents.
  • Initial screening for completeness.

Documents Required:

  • Company registration (SSM, Form 9, 24, 49)
  • Director NRIC copies
  • Company profile / brochure
  • Brand story (write-up or video)
  • Logo (AI/PNG format)
  • Product/service catalogue
  • Relevant certificates (e.g. Halal, ISO, GMP, Trademark)
  • SSM Verification – Check legal registration, nature of business, shareholding structure.
  • Business Validity – Ensure the company is active and not under deregistration.
  • Financial Standing (Optional/If Necessary) – Bankruptcies, legal cases, tax issues (e.g. CTOS,
    MyEG).
  • Licensing/Permit Check – Confirm business license or any required permits for operation.
  • Identify All Directors/Shareholders – Cross-check with SSM records.
  • Blacklist Check – Ensure directors are not blacklisted or involved in fraud/litigation.
  • PEP Check (Politically Exposed Person) – Flag any politically sensitive individuals (if needed).
  • Director’s Business Reputation – Google/social media scan for red flags.
  • Authenticity – Check if the story is original, not copied, and aligned with real business
    milestones.
  • Alignment with MADANI Values – Innovation, sustainability, community impact, economic
    growth, governance.
  • Storytelling Quality – Clarity, emotional engagement, relevance to Malaysia branding narrative.
  • Logo Design Quality – Check for professionalism, originality, clarity in both print and digital.
  • Trademark Status – Is the logo registered with MyIPO? If not, advise registration.
  • No IP Violation – Ensure it doesn’t resemble another brand or infringe trademarks.
  • Cultural/Religious Sensitivity – Ensure no offensive elements or misused symbols.
  • Authenticity – Product should be owned or developed by the company, not dropshipping or
    reselling.
  • Local Origin – Preferably Malaysian-made or based.
  • Certifications – Halal, Organic, MESTI, etc. where applicable.
  • Quality Check – (optional) Sampling, user reviews, or past track record.

Updated Due Diligence Adjustments for OEM/Distributor Products

Applicable Scenarios:

  1. OEM from China – Product is manufactured in China but sold under a Malaysian brand.
  2. Main Distributor – Malaysian company is the principal distributor or exclusive agent.

Checkpoints for OEM Products:

  • Brand Ownership – Confirm the Malaysian company owns the brand trademark (even if
    production is outsourced).
  • OEM Agreement – Request a contract or proof of OEM manufacturing arrangement (can be
    redacted for confidentiality).
  • Trademark or Brand Application Proof – Even if not yet registered, evidence of filing with
    MyIPO is sufficient.
  • Repackaging or Value Add – Verify that the brand adds local value (e.g. QC, packaging,
    after-sales service, R\&D).

Checkpoints for Main Distributors:

  • Exclusive Distribution Agreement – Must show documentation of exclusive distributorship
    or main agency rights.
  • Malaysia-Based Operations – Ensure marketing, customer service, or warehousing is
    operated from Malaysia.
  • Branding Localisation – Check that the exhibitor has localized branding strategy (website,
    materials in BM/ENG, etc.).
  • Sales & Market Development – Distributor should show active efforts to grow the brand
    locally (events, partnerships, etc.).

Scoring Guidance:

OEM/Distributors can be accepted if they demonstrate:

  • Clear Malaysian brand ownership or exclusive rights
  • Value-add or contribution to Malaysia’s economy/market
  • Alignment with MADANI goals (e.g., sustainability, innovation, governance)

Scoring Criteria:

Assign marks or pass/fail on:

  • Company legitimacy
  • Director integrity
  • Branding strength
  • Logo quality
  • Product credibility
  • Approval Committee Review (weekly or bi-weekly)

Approved exhibitors receive:

  • Official acceptance letter
  • Booth assignment
  • MBD Exhibitor Guidelines
  • Onboarding session schedule

Rejected exhibitors:

  • Given feedback or chance to improve (if minor issues)
  • Blacklisted if found to be fraudulent or unethical

Tools to Use:

  • SSM e-Info
  • CTOS / MyEG / RAMCI for financial/legal checks
  • Google & Social Media scan
  • MyIPO for IP/trademark search
  • Canva AI / Google Lens to detect logo plagiarism
