Apakah syarat-syarat penyenaraian yang ditetapkan oleh Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur untuk syarikat yang disenaraikan di BSKL.
What are the condition of listing required by Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange for companies which listed under KLSE.
The KLSE is a self regulating body incorporated as a company limited by guarantee with its own memorandum and articles of association. It was formed in 1976 to administer and ensure a set of rules with respect to the conduct of its members in securities dealings. It is responsible for the maintenance of an efficient market, and for surveillance and enforcement of the listing requirements which set out the criteria for companies seeking a public flotation of their shares and their continuing obligations. Listing means that securities issued by company can be bought and sold by investors through a public organized listed market.
The KLSE listing requirements contains variety of matters such as imposing additional disclosure requirements and imposing additional requirements that a company must meet before the company enters into certain types of transaction or issues new securities. The purpose of the listing requirements is to ensure that the market for listed companies securities is transparent, liquid and informed and that the interests of the companies public shareholders are protected.
Only listed companies and their participants are required to comply with the listing requirements. Some companies have their share listed for quotation on the KLSE. If a company is listed on the KLSE, members of the public can buy and sell these shares through the stock market conducted by the KLSE. As of 02 July 2001, out of half million registered companies Malaysia, only 809 are listed at the KLSE.
