Suspension of Short Selling Extended Until December 31, 2020

The temporary suspension of certain short selling activities in Malaysia has been extended until December 31, 2020. This extension maintains the existing scope of the suspension, which affects specific types of short selling.
Intraday Short Selling (IDSS) Remains Suspended

Intraday Short Selling (IDSS) is among the activities that continue to be suspended. This measure was initially implemented on March 24, 2020, and has seen subsequent extensions.
Regulated Short Selling (RSS) Also Suspended

Regulated Short Selling (RSS) is also subject to the ongoing suspension. The scope of this suspension has not been altered, meaning RSS activities are still prohibited under the current regulations.
Proprietary Day Traders' Intraday Short Selling Affected

The suspension also encompasses intraday short selling conducted by Proprietary Day Traders. This specific category of short selling is included within the broader measures aimed at regulating market activities.
Permitted Short Selling (PSS) Not Affected

In contrast to the suspended activities, Permitted Short Selling (PSS) is not impacted by this temporary measure. PSS is considered essential for market makers to efficiently facilitate trading in securities such as exchange-traded funds.
