Regulatory Approach / Philosophy
In striving to build a market of quality and integrity, Bursa Malaysia is guided by Regulatory Principles to achieve the following goals: investor protection to remain intact; high standards of business conduct by listed issuers and brokers; and efficient and effective regulation.
Leveraging on Technological Platforms
We constantly work on improving our technological infrastructure. On the surveillance front, we upgraded to Equities Surveillance System or ARAMIS in December 2008 which has stronger analytical capability, sophisticated alerts and can be exported into office applications. It also facilitates a single platform for both equities and derivatives surveillance and therefore inter-market surveillance.
We have an automated minimum financial requirements reporting mechanism, better known as ARMADA system which is highly sensitive in capturing risk arising from volatile price changes. These features are able to assist us in conducting timely and effective supervision of brokers.
We also have in place Bursa LINK which is the platform for listed issuers to make announcements and facilitate timely submission of information for dissemination to the market place. eRAPID, which is a web-based solution, facilitates electronic transmission of Record of Depositors and Central Depository System circulars.
Bursa Listing Information Network (Bursa LINK)
Bursa LINK is an electronic platform for submission of all announcements made by listed issuers. Bursa Malaysia will release information submitted by listed issuers via Bursa LINK for dissemination to the market place through the Bursa Malaysia website. Bursa Malaysia enables access to Bursa LINK for submission of information or document via web browser to facilitate timely announcement of corporate information.
