Honestly the shares that my father used to hold may seems not a lot to the company but still it is a lot of money. We have not once received any dividend payouts as well throughout the years.

so its profitable company every year? whats the % you are holding.. do they declare dividend?

but they did declare dividend? if yes, the company still owes you the money. but the other shareholders probably use other way to withdraw the profits.. can take by salary, claims, n other benefits.. i guess one of u needs to be in touch with the uncles to suggest a sale
