Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”), wishes to provide the following updates on the outcome of the cases of unauthorised trades on 24 April 2025:  

• Bursa Malaysia and the affected brokers have reached a consensus to manage the unauthorised trades, with the support of counter-party brokers. The key outcome results with the underlying principle that no investor with unauthorised trades shall incur losses arising from the incident. As stated previously, the unauthorised trades were confined to a very limited number of brokers’ client online trading accounts¹.  
• Subsequently, the affected securities and proceeds from the unauthorised trades, withheld since 27 April 2025 to facilitate the investigation, will be released following post trade actions on 20 May 2025. For the most part, the net effect of this process is the return of the affected securities and proceeds to the impacted investors, restoring their positions prior to the incident.

A thorough investigation is currently underway to understand the root cause of the incident.

Bursa Malaysia continues to work closely with the industry on the matter.                         

Investor protection and market confidence remain paramount to the capital market.
