This is to ensure that important information or requisitions are able to be communicated or disseminated efficiently to the relevant department.

What is SUPERFORM and is it sufficient to only submit the SUPERFORM for registration of Distributor?
SUPERFORM is the Application for Registration, is issued right after your company has been incorporated from 1 Feb 2017 onwards. This document states all basic information of the company such as:
- Company name and type.
- Business nature and description.
- Particulars of directors and shareholders.
- Information of the person who submitted the incorporation application.
Since this document is only issued once, the information stated will not be updated; hence, you are required to provide additional supporting documents if there are changes in the information since the date of incorporation.
Section 78 previous known as Form 24, is issued once new shares are allotted. It states the information of the new shareholder, the type and class of share issued, and the number of shares issued with its price.
A copy of Notification of Change in the Register of Members (Section 51) is required to be submitted as well for change of shareholding.
Section 51 is a document that shows the changes to the shareholding of the company.
If there are no changes in shareholders since the company incorporation, your company will not have this document. You can provide the SUPERFORM/ Form 24 to show the shareholders information.
If there are changes in shareholders, this document should be provided alongside the SUPERFORM/ Form 24.
