Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, Yusli Mohamed Yusoff said that it is also important to change the names for synergy in branding and to reflect the comprehensive suite of services offered by the exchange.
"Where previously, the exchanges and subsidiaries had their own identity, we see the need to brand all our services under the one brand of 'Bursa Malaysia'. This will result in a more effective and cost effective marketing for the exchange.
"Whilst this change may take time and some getting used to, it will serve the market and country well. We now have a one strong and consistent brand offering a suite of services," Yusli said.
