The Securities Commission Malaysia in its Annual Report 2021 reported a total of 136 administrative sanctions involving various market misconduct and breaches such as submitting false and misleading information to SC and Bursa resulting to a penalty of RM2.87 million.
It is well noted that financial market misconduct is costly and may compromise the integrity of the market and its ecosystem. Furthermore, investors need to feel confident when participating in an investment and require trustworthy professionals. Therefore, it is hoped that this programme will help the CMSRL holders and professionals dealing in capital market activities understand the requirements of the guidelines and its expectations and implications so as to promote proper conduct, compliance and governance within the capital market intermediaries.
