The study investigates the issues of financial constraints in Malaysia. Using a sample of 196 Malaysian public listed firms, the findings show that generally firms do not face financial constraints in Malaysia. However, the presence of large shareholder reduces the use of external financing and emphasis on internal cash flow for firms' investment. The coalition effects of top three large shareholders are found to reduce the dependence on internal cash flow for investment. Moreover, directors' compensation measured as incentive ratio is found to accelerate investments through internal cash flow and external debt financing. |
