Section 28

If the Registrar approves the name which the company has resolved should be its new name, he shall, on payment of the prescribed fee, issue a certificate of incorporation of the company under the new name and upon the issue of such certificate of incorporation the change of name shall become effective.

If the name of a Langkawi company is (whether through inadvertence or otherwise and whether originally or by a change of name) a name by which the company could not be registered without contravention of subsection 27(1), the company may, by special resolution, change its name to a name by which the company could be registered without contravention of that subsection and, if the Registrar so directs, shall so change it within six weeks after the date of direction or such longer period as the Registrar allows, unless the Minister, by written notice, annuls the direction, and if the company fails to comply with the direction it shall be guilty of an offence against this Act.

Penalty: Five thousand ringgit.

A change of name pursuant to this Act shall not affect the identity of the Langkawi company or any rights or obligations of the company or render defective any proceedings by or against the company; and any legal proceedings that might have been continued or commenced by or against the company by its former name may be continued or commenced by or against the company by its new name.
