Anwar: Tomorrow's announcement aimed at easing people's burden

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's highly anticipated announcement is hoped to ease the people's burden. Anwar in a Facebook post said that the announcement made tomorrow serves as a testament to the shared commitment to creating a more equitable and prosperous future. "Insyaallah, tomorrow I will announce the promised gesture of appreciation as a sign of the Madani government's concern for Malaysians who have stood firm with us through every step of the reform journey. "May this announcement bring benefits to the majority of the people and serve as a reflection of our collective efforts to build a fairer and more prosperous future," he said. Earlier, Communications Minister and government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil said Anwar's highly anticipated announcement will be made at 10.30am. Yesterday, Anwar said he needed more time to look into the announcement following the unity government retreat in Port Dickson on Sunday. Previously, the prime minister said the highly anticipated announcement would be related to the government's efforts to help the people cope with the rising cost of living. Anwar recently sparked public interest after posting a mysterious teaser on his official Facebook page.

​​​​​​​Investor Confidence Drives Bursa IPOs Amid Global Volatility

BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Interest from mid and large-cap companies to list on Bursa Malaysia remains robust, with sustained initial public offering (IPO) momentum reflecting investor confidence despite volatility from US tariff measures. Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Fad'l Mohamed said the exchange has recorded 37 IPOs so far this year and remains on track to meet its year-end target of 60 listings. 'We continue to be a strong fundraising platform, with investors showing sustained interest and participation in our IPOs. 'But of course, the pricing and sizing of the issuances will need to be considered,' he told reporters after a Memorandum of Collaboration signing between Bursa Carbon Exchange (BCX) and UEM Lestra Bhd. So far, the Main Market has recorded six listings, the ACE Market 28, and the LEAP Market three. Meanwhile, port operator MMC Port Holdings has filed for a listing and is expected to undertake Malaysia's largest IPO in 13 years. Media reports suggest the offering could raise more than RM6 billion. Bursa Malaysia saw 55 company listings last year, a 72 per cent increase from the previous year — the highest in 19 years. According to the exchange, the 55 IPOs in 2024 collectively raised RM7.42 billion, up 107 per cent from the previous year. -- BERNAMA

Bursa lower at midday on tariff concerns

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended the morning session 0.36 per cent lower, tracking mixed global markets, as investor sentiment turned cautious amid renewed trade tensions sparked by the United States' proposal to impose tariffs of 15 to 20 per cent on European Union imports. At 12.30pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 5.56 points to 1,519.03 from Monday's close of 1,524.59. The benchmark index opened 1.70 points higher at 1,526.29 and moved between 1,518.75 and 1,527.90 throughout the session. Market breadth remained negative, with decliners outpacing gainers 524 to 276. A total of 458 counters were unchanged, 1,221 untraded and seven suspended. Turnover stood at 1.81 billion shares valued at RM982.47 million. Across the region, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index eased 0.07 per cent to 24,975.46, Singapore's Straits Times Index declined 0.21 per cent to 4,198.13, South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.63 per cent to 3,158.58, and Japan's Nikkei 225 retreated 0.53 per cent to 39,608.87. In a research note, Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd noted that despite ongoing investigations into Sunway Construction and Sunway Bhd over a data centre project, the counters remained supported by strong fundamentals, a robust order book with earnings visibility of up to three years, and the continued expansion of Malaysia's data centre industry. "Investors may also consider Sarawak-based construction players such as CMSB and Ibraco, which are expected to benefit from the state's infrastructure development," it said. It added that the government's delay in implementing targeted RON95 fuel subsidies is likely to favour consumer-related stocks, with Mr DIY and 99 SpeedMart as its top picks.
