While Bursa Malaysia has been aggressive in pursuing foreign listings, the group’s chief executive officer Datuk Yusli Mohamed Yusoff insists that they will not compromise on the quality of companies, out of desperation. He said, “Our objective remains to have quality companies listed on our bourse and that is in our long-term interest.”
He stressed that the same standards of governance and disclosures applies to China. This was in response to the negative perception Malaysian investors had on China listings.
