Ta Win to sell land in Klang for RM45mil
PETALING JAYA: Ta Win Holdings Bhd is disposing of 16,187 sq m of industrial land in Klang, Selangor to Metal Recovery Industries Sdn Bhd for RM44.5mil.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the manufacturer and exporter of enamelled copper wires and copper rods said the disposal would allow the company to focus on its core operations.
'The property is vacant and non-operational, making it non-essential to our core business.'
With manufacturing centralised at its Melaka facility, Ta Win said disposing of the asset allowed management to streamline efforts and resources towards optimising primary operations.
'Monetising this idle asset unlocks cash, which can reduce borrowings and lower interest costs. The cash infusion also improves working capital,' Ta Win added.

Energy stocks take centrestage as FBM KLCI bucks downward trend
KUALA LUMPUR: A surprise reversal in the performance of blue chips on Bursa Malaysia suggested foreign funds were seeking out local equities even as global markets were wracked by nerves over the US's entry into the Isreal-Iran conflict. While other regional equity benchmarks wallowed in the red, Malaysia's FBM KLCI made an unexpected bounce to erase a 14-point deficit and tack on a 6.61-point gain to 1,509.35. Nestle was seen leading the blue chips higher, surging RM3.18 to RM75.70. PETRONAS and energy-related stocks performed especially well following crude oil's weekend rally. MISC gained 13 sen to RM7.69, Tenaga Nasional rose 12 sen to RM14.34 and PETRONAS Chemicals climbed seven sen to RM3.11. The lower liners on the domestic market, however, remained subdued with the declining issues outweighing the advancers 4.17-to-1. Market volume remained on pace with that of previous days, with 2.04 billion share changed for RM960.69mil. Among the top performers, Petron Malaysia rose 13 sen to RM3.86, Hibiscus Peroleum jumped 13 sen to RM1.84 and Hengyuan Refining added nine sen to RM1.94. Regionally, stock markets were a sea of red, in line with US futures as the threat of growing warfare in the Middle East sapped investor appetite for equities. Japan's Nikkei dropped 0.2% to 38,331, South Korea's Kospi slid 0.51% to 3,006 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.13% to 23,498. On the Chinese mainland, the CSI300 fell 0.2% to 3,838, although the composite index showed some mild resilience, rising 0.15% to 3,365. With the exception of the Malaysian index, all other Asean markets were in negative territory. The Philippine and Indonesian markets led with 2.06% and 1.77% declines respectively.

Bursa Malaysia forms industry working group to strengthen cybersecurity in stockbroking
Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Fad'l Mohamed KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Bhd has formed a dedicated industry working group to strengthen cyber resilience across the Malaysian stockbroking ecosystem. In a statement, the stock exchange operator said this coordinated effort follows the unauthorised trades incident on April 24, 2025. 'The industry working group represents a concerted effort to strengthen the cyber resiliency of our trading ecosystem. The industry recognises that cyber resiliency is not just a technology best practice — it is the cornerstone of a trusted and vibrant capital market. 'A resilient ecosystem safeguards investor confidence, upholds market integrity, and ensures that our digital infrastructure can withstand and adapt to evolving threats,' chief executive officer Datuk Fad'l Mohamed said. The industry working group, chaired by Bursa Malaysia chief regulatory officer Julian M Hashim, comprises representatives from four bank-backed participating organisations (POs), two non-bank POs, and two subject matter experts in the field of cybersecurity. The group held its inaugural meeting on June 17, 2025, during which it finalised its terms of reference. Its mandate includes assessing current cybersecurity practices and identifying systemic vulnerabilities within the stockbroking ecosystem. Additionally, the group will work on developing industry-wide standards and best practices for information and communication technology (ICT) risk management and incident response. It is also tasked with recommending enhancements to regulatory frameworks and operational protocols to strengthen overall cyber resilience. The industry working group targets to finalise its recommendation paper within four months, with the subsequent implementation phase focused on the execution of the recommendations. Acknowledging the different levels of operational complexity among stockbroking firms, industry consultations will be held to ensure the recommendations are practical and fit for purpose. Bursa Malaysia said stockbroking firms have recently implemented precautionary measures, including mandatory password resets, enhanced monitoring of unusual logins, blocking suspicious IP addresses, and issuing client alerts to safeguard login details. In line with these efforts, Bursa Malaysia had on May 21, 2025 sent out a directive to mandate that all stockbroking firms implement multi-factor authentication by the end of 2025. This requirement is a critical step towards enhancing the security of investor trading accounts and mitigating the risk of unauthorised access.

Bursa opens marginally lower in absence of catalyst
KUALA LUMPUR : Bursa Malaysia opened marginally lower in the absence of new catalyst, coupled with the closure of Wall Street on June 19, an analyst said. At 9.06am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) declined 0.79 of-a-point to 1,500.65 from Thursday's close of 1,501.44. The benchmark index opened 0.50 of-a-point lower at 1,500.94. The broader market was negative, with 118 decliners outnumbering 68 gainers, 192 counters unchanged, while 2,046 were untraded and 25 suspended. Turnover stood at 56.66 million shares worth RM24.34 million. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd's equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said Wall Street was closed for a holiday yesterday as traders were pondering over the involvement of the US in the Middle East conflict. The US 10-year Treasury yield eased to 4.39%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index (HSI) declined sharply on inflationary concerns induced by prevailing higher tariffs coupled with the conflict in the Middle East. This also disrupts global crude oil supply and could be inflationary as well. Back home, the FBM KLCI on Thursday closed just above the 1,500 level, likely due to continued foreign selling. 'Nonetheless, we would advocate investors to accumulate blue chips if and when the index dips below the 1,500 mark at around the 1,480 threshold,' Thong told Bernama. Among heavyweights, Maybank gained 2.0 sen to RM9.62, Tenaga Nasional fell 4.0 sen to RM14.18, CIMB was 1.0 sen higher at RM6.59, while Public Bank, IHH Healthsare and CelcomDigi remained unchanged at RM4.19, RM6.85 and RM3.82 respectively. Among the most active stocks, Velesto Energy was flat at 18.5 sen, Magma eased half-a-sen to 46 sen, Pavilion REIT was down 6.0 sen to RM1.48, Aizo dipped half-a-sen to 8.0 sen and Dataprep added half-a-sen to 12 sen. On the index board, the FBM Emas Index lost 7.90 points to 11,215.84, the FBMT 100 Index shed 7.68 points to 10,996.32, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index declined 15.09 points to 11,217.80. The FBM 70 Index lost 18.82 points to 16,074.63 and the FBM ACE Index dropped 24.59 points to 4,390.46. By sector, the Plantation Index narrowed 4.34 points to 7,214.27, while the Energy Index declined by 0.71 of-a-point to 738.94. The Financial Services Index rose 19.36 points to 17,349.51, but the Industrial Products and Services Index slid 0.20 of-a-point to 148.04.
