 There are only 4 articles in Law of Corporations
2005 about features, functions and responsibilities
of SOEs. Detailed legal regulation is decided by

Corporations and Groups) is too large (capital,

Regulations are cursory  responsibilities and
obligations of each stakeholder are not clear.
Lack of distinguish between ownership and
management of the Government.
Easy access to funding encourages both
negligence and poor corporate governance
among SOEs.
Poor capability of staff.
