Public Listing on Bursa Malaysia Board

The flotation of the company in Malaysia has to be done on BURSA MALAYSIA. Bursa Malaysia was known as Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE, Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur in Malay) from its founding in 1930 when the Singapore Stockbrokers' Association was set up as a formal organisation dealing in securities in Malaya.

The first formal securities business organisation in Malaysia was the Singapore Stockbrokers' Association, established in 1930. It was re-registered as the Malayan Stockbrokers' Association in 1937. The Malayan Stock Exchange was established in 1960 and the public trading of shares commenced. The board system had trading rooms in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, linked by direct telephone lines.

In 1964, the Stock Exchange of Malaysia was established. With the secession of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965, the Stock Exchange of Malaysia became known as the Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore. In 1973, currency interchangeability between Malaysia and Singapore ceased, and the Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore was divided into the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Berhad and the Stock Exchange of Singapore. The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange which was incorporated on 14 December 1976 as a company limited by guarantee, took over the operations of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Berhad in the same year.

In 1998, as one of the attempts to weather the 1997 Asian financial crisis, it fully suspended the trading of CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) counters, indefinitely freezing approximately US$4.47 billion worth of shares and affecting 172,000 investors, most of them Singaporeans.

On 14 April 2004, Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange was renamed Bursa Malaysia Berhad, following the demutualisation exercise, the purpose of which was to enhance competitive position and to respond to global trends in the exchange sector by making themselves more customer-driven and market-oriented. It consisted of a Main Board, a Second Board and MESDAQ with total market capitalisation of MYR700 billion (US$189 billion).

Bursa Malaysia has since then focused on various initiatives aimed at improving its product and service offerings, increasing the liquidity and velocity of its markets, improving the efficiency of its businesses and achieving economies of scale in its operations. On 18 March 2005, Bursa Malaysia was listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad with a 17% or RM0.50 premium over its retail price of RM3.00.

Sedekah

Jika kamu menampakkan sedeka-sedekahmu (menampakkan sedekah dengan tujuan untuk dicontohi orang lain, bukan untuk riak), maka itu baik. Dan jika kamu menyembunyikannya dan memberikannya kepadaorang-orang fakir, maka itu lebih baik bagimu dan Allah akan menghapuskansebahagiankesalahan-kesalahanmu. Dan Allah Maha teliti dengan apa yang kamu lakukan. (2:271)

Orang yang miskin itu bukanlah orang yang suka berkeliling (meminta-minta) yang pergi setelah diberi sebiji atau dua biji buah kurma, sesuap atau dua suap makanan, dan sepiring atau dua piring makanan, tetapi orang miskin yang sesungguhnya ialah orang yang cukup dirinya dan keadaannya tidak mudah diketahui untuk diberi sedekah, serta tidak pernah meminta sesuatu pun kepada orang lain. (2:273)
