The seminars also aim to provide a platform for participants to engage actively with Bursa Malaysia for clarification and feedback on the LR. The exchange will also share LR related case studies and findings on the enforcement of corporate disclosure conduct breaches with participants during the seminar.
“The seminars are part of Bursa Malaysia’s continued efforts to engage directly with our market participants on a periodic basis to facilitate greater exchange of feedback and ensure that new introductions and revisions to the LR are understood in their context. This will definitely aid towards gearing our market participants to execute their roles effectively in line with the dynamics of the evolving market scenario and regulatory framework,” said Selvarany Rasiah, Chief Legal Officer of Bursa Malaysia.
Selvarany added that the seminar also aims to share the importance of engaging in good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Investor Relations (IR) practices in order to promote business sustainability, which will add value to the quality of the Malaysian market.
