KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia Bhd has confirmed that the issue involving unauthorised trades detected on April 24, 2025, has been resolved. Affected investors have been assured they will not suffer any losses from the incident.
In a statement, the exchange said it has reached a consensus with the affected brokers, supported by counter-party brokers, to manage the unauthorised trades.
“As stated previously, the unauthorised trades were limited to a small number of brokers’ client online trading accounts,” it said.
Bursa Malaysia also clarified that the affected securities and proceeds, withheld since April 27, 2025, to facilitate investigations, will be released following post-trade actions on May 20, 2025.
“In most cases, this process will result in the return of securities and proceeds to investors, effectively restoring their positions to pre-incident levels,” the exchange said, adding that a full investigation is still underway to determine the root cause.
Bursa Malaysia reiterated its commitment to working closely with the industry to ensure investor protection and maintain market confidence.
