In line with Bursa Malaysia’s continuing commitment to improve effectiveness of its enforcement actions, we will be reporting on and publishing the enforcement actions taken against market participants for breaches of the rules on the website of Bursa Malaysia (Key Enforcement Cases). Market participants are in reference to the Participating Organisations (POs), Trading Participants (TPs), Clearing Participants, Participants of the exchange trading platform, Registered Persons/Registered Representatives, Authorised Depository Agents, Authorised Direct Members and any such persons to whom the Bursa Malaysia rules are directed (collectively, "Market Participants" where applicable).
The Key Enforcement Cases will generally highlight and focus on common breaches and/or serious breaches which significantly impact the market or Market Participants for which enforcement actions have been taken. The Key Enforcement Cases is part of Bursa Malaysia's effort to enhance transparency, market awareness and understanding of the enforcement decisions/actions taken and decision making considerations and processes undertaken by Bursa Malaysia.
