There was a statement planned in reviewing the financial year for the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange Group.
This is another.
Just as we close the year, events unfolded leading to conditions of uncertainty influencing an
outcome different from what was generally expected in the economies and capital markets of many
countries. More importantly, it is in the uncertainty of unfolding events that the impact of existing
challenges are accelerated, even magnified reminding us that the unexpected does happen.
Reminding us too, of the degree of preparedness and the degree of readiness of both industry and
participants to face the full impact of
coming challenges.
It is against such an environment that we view, perhaps with more discerning eyes than before, the many
efforts contributed during the year to continue developing the national economy, capital market and
securities industry. It is also in times like this, that it becomes clear that the indicators of performance and
achievement for the KLSE Group are not those of the market and the market alone but of the many,
many efforts contributing to sustainable progress and growth for market and industry.
Perhaps, central to the effort, is this.
It is the written word, in whichever faith we belong to, that seeks to guide the conduct of man. It is in
humbly learning from this example, that forms the major effort for the year.
At both exchange and industry level, it was a year of putting rules, requirements and plans to words and
to work for participants, regulators and the industry alike. For KLSE, it was the new Listing Requirements;
for the industry the Capital Market Masterplan.
Launched in January 2001, the new Listing Requirements achieve the objective of enhancing corporate
governance and transparency, enhancing efficiency in capital market activities, strengthening investor
protection and promoting investor confidence.
The Capital Market Masterplan (CMP) launched in February 2001, contains 6 objectives, 24 strategic
initiatives and 152 recommendations, which are to be implemented over the next 10 years.
Out of the 152 recommendations, 105 recommendations are directly or indirectly related to the KLSE
Group. Thus, at no other time has there been clearer signposts at both the market participants level or the
industry level in charting the way forward. To facilitate the smooth implementation of these
recommendations and monitor its progress, KLSE set up the CMP Implementation Committee (CIC). It is
thus the time to get to work and begin the journey forward.
What we leave behind during the period, is a downtrend in equity markets, driven primarily by uncertainty
in the direction of the global economy. The contraction in the global technology industry, on which the
region s export strength is dependent upon, contributed to the weakening of the regional economies and
equity markets. Some of these markets were also influenced by social and political developments at home.
Under the influence of these events, comparing the last trading day of the fiscal year with that of the
previous period, the KLSE Composite Index (CI) as at 29 June 2001 declined 240.38 points or 28.84% to
close at 592.99 compared to 833.37 on 30 June 2000. Similarly, total market capitalisation at the end of
the fiscal year was at RM403 billion, a decrease of RM169 billion or 29.55% from RM572 billion a year ago.
Total volume traded amounted to 34 billion units valued at RM89 billion in contrast to 106 billion units valued
at RM305 billion during the previous corresponding period.
However, despite uncertainty at the securities market level, capital generation efforts continued positively
for new issues. During the period under review, 36 new companies were listed compared to 28 in the
previous financial year, bringing the total number of companies listed to 809 at fiscal year end. Of the 36
new companies, 14 were listed on the Main Board and 22 on the Second Board, with a combined nominal
capital of RM5.1 billion. A total of RM1.6 billion was raised from Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) compared
with RM0.9 billion in the previous period.

I REGULATO RYBusiness without governance is an injustice to all.
It inflicts harm not only on to itself, but on to others in the investment community impeding
growth, destroying reputation, diminishing investment value and with it, investor confidence.
Now more than ever, the continued growth and progress of the Malaysian securities industry
lies in the collective will of its participants to be more responsible, to be more accountable
in essence to be compliant.
New Listing Requirements
In ensuring that investors will continue to have confidence in investing at the KLSE and in the Malaysian
e c o n o m y ,
a key effort is to continuously improve the level of corporate governance.
The new Listing Requirements is set to achieve the continuous objective of further promoting the efficiency
and credibility of the market to benefit listed companies, directors, intermediaries, major shareholders and
minority investors alike.
Launched in January 2001, the new Listing Requirements is a fine example of co-operation and combined
effort by both industry participants and regulators, involving an extensive consultation process meticulously
conducted, taking into account the views and feedback of industry participants.
The new Listing Requirements, amongst others, strengthened provisions in areas relating to disclosure,
corporate governance, continuing listing obligations, financial reporting and enforcement. It codified
unwritten rules and procedures relating to listed companies, simplified procedural requirements and
processes, clarified requirements and removed ambiguities and adopted international best practices and
standards in listing rules, where applicable.
The new Listing Requirements is now more business friendly and user friendly. Provisions have been
drafted with the aim of promoting business efficacy whilst safeguarding the interests of minority
shareholders. Provisions have also been streamlined and re-organised as part of the measures to facilitate
easy reference and understanding of the Listing Requirements.
Under the new Listing Requirements, listed companies, their advisers and directors are now subject to a
higher standard of responsibility and accountability. They are required to be more transparent with their
activities and are expected to exercise higher standards of corporate governance.
In recognising that both industry regulators and participants manage and operate in a dynamic
e n v i r o n m e n t ,
the new Listing Requirements is designed to be accommodative and flexible. As such the new Listing
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:44 AM Page 9
10
Executive Chairman s Statement
Requirements will be continually reviewed and reassessed for relevance and practicality. Refinements to
the new Listing Requirements will be undertaken from time to time.
As stakeholders in the growth and development of the securities market and industry, all industry
participants are encouraged to continue to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement to the Listing
Requirements.
Towards this end, it is important for industry participants to continue to cooperate and work closely with
regulators to make the securities industry in Malaysia the preferred investment destination of investors.
Practice Notes
In conjunction with the new Listing Requirements, the Exchange has issued 12 Practice Notes. These
Practice Notes have been issued with the objective of, amongst others, providing interpretation of several
provisions of the Listing Requirements and specifying administrative procedures. These Practice Notes are
aimed at facilitating greater compliance with the Listing Requirements.
Of special significance are Practice Notes No. 4/2001 and 10/2001 issued pursuant to paragraphs 8.14
and 8.16 of the new Listing Requirements respectively. These are 2 of the several provisions introduced
to enhance the quality of companies listed on the KLSE.
Practice Note No. 4/2001 on Criteria and Obligations pursuant to paragraph 8.14 of the Listing
Requirements (PN4) relates to the requirement that listed companies must maintain a financial condition
that warrants continued trading and/or listing on the Official List of the Exchange. PN4 sets out amongst
others, the criteria in relation to the expected minimum financial condition of a listed company.
Similar provisions are contained in Practice Note No. 10/2001 on Level of Operations (PN10).
PN10 relates to the requirement that listed companies must maintain a certain minimum level of operations
to warrant continued trading and/or listing on the Official List of the Exchange.
PN10 clarifies the application of paragraph 8.16 of the Listing Requirements and sets out the
circumstances which may indicate that a listed company s level of operations is inadequate to warrant
continued trading and/or listing on the Official List, including the obligations of such listed company.
Hence with PN4 and PN10, investors can expect to obtain greater disclosure of information regarding the
status of restructuring of companies which have an inadequate level of financial condition or level of
operations. The rights of shareholders of listed companies under PN4 and PN10, are better protected by
the enhanced disclosure requirements.
A significant objective of PN4 and PN10 is undoubtedly the hastening of the pace of restructuring of
companies with inadequate level of financial condition or operations. To a large extent this has been met
by a significant number of these companies now at varying stages of their restructuring plans.
Through the on-going efforts of the KLSE Group in holding consultations and dialogues with industry
Compliance not only with the letter of the requirements, but with the spirit of the requirements.
In meeting this objective and to facilitate compliance with the letter and spirit of the new Listing
Requirements, Practice Notes were issued where required, detailing administrative and operational
procedures for compliance.
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:44 AM Page 10
participants, industry feedback and suggestions have been incorporated in the Practice Notes issued.
Practice Notes will continue to be issued from time to time to further reflect industry input and to achieve
the intended objectives of the new Listing Requirements.

Issuance of the guidance signifies the importance of internal control for enhancing corporate
governance in a company. Implementation of the guidance augurs well for the preservation of
company assets and will result in better protection for investors.

Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies
To assist listed companies in making disclosure of their state of internal control pursuant to paragraph15.27(b) of the Listing Requirements, KLSE established an independent Taskforce on Internal Control inMay 2000 to prepare and issue a guidance. The guidance entitled Statement On Internal Control:Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies was issued by the Taskforce in February 2001.
The guidance deals with the following areas in relation to internal control:the system of internal control and the responsibilities of various parties in the maintenance of a soundsystem of internal control;the process of review of the adequacy and integrity of a system of internal control; andthe minimum disclosures to be made by the board of directors on the state of internal control.
Roadshows and Conference on Listing RequirementsWhilst KLSE has put in place a framework intended to enhance the credibility and attractiveness of theMalaysian capital market, the KLSE recognises that it is important for the market to support the new ListingRequirements. Industry response to date has indicated that there has been a high degree of support forthe new Listing Requirements.
On 29 March 2001, the Exchange held a public conference on the new Listing Requirements, whichreceived overwhelming response from industry.
The public conference was aimed at promoting greater understanding of the new Listing Requirements,increasing awareness among industry participants of their rights, duties and obligations and providing anopportunity for comments and queries on relevant issues pertaining to the new Listing Requirements.
The main areas covered in the conference included corporate governance, investor protection andtransparency with speakers from various sectors of the industry presenting papers from the perspective ofregulators, advisers, listed companies, investors and the legal fraternity.
To facilitate greater understanding of and compliance with the new Listing Requirements, the Exchangealso conducted 11 roadshows throughout Peninsular and East Malaysia. These roadshows also provideda forum for the exchange of constructive views and concerns.
The response to the roadshows was encouraging and provided invaluable feedback to the Exchange. Italso indicated the support and enthusiasm of industry participants to the introduction of the new ListingRequirements and their desire to comply.
Apart from the KLSE roadshows, the Exchange also facilitated and sponsored other roadshows such asthe roadshow by the Institute of Internal Auditors Malaysia (IIAM), which served as the secretariat for theTaskforce on Internal Control. The objective of these roadshows was to educate the industry on theStatement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies and to provide a forumto clarify any issues relating to the Guidance.
Executive Chairman s Statement
Members of professional organisations undergo continuing education and formal training, to update
and improve their knowledge in order to discharge their duties more responsibly, effectively, efficiently.
It is with this objective that directors of listed companies have given full support in participating in
the training programmes prescribed in the new Listing Requirements. The Mandatory Training
Programme will subsequently be supplemented with the continuing education programmes.
The new Listing Requirements have been developed to deter wrongdoings, without impeding the beneficial.
Thus, whilst it has been developed to be pro-business and pro-growth, there are now enhanced
powers to enable more effective enforcement of the new Listing Requirements.
The penalties that may be imposed range from caution and impress to private and public
reprimands, fines and where necessary, suspension and ultimately de-listing. Due process is
accorded in respect of all alleged breaches of the Listing Requirements. Penalties will only be
imposed after thorough consideration of all facts and circumstances relating to a case.
The KLSE LINK makes a valuable contribution in the implementation of measures to achieve greater
disclosure and market transparency. With the use of KLSE LINK, listed companies are better able
to ensure accuracy, completeness and timeliness of their announcements. Investors in turn, should
make full use of such information in their investment decisions.

KLSE has successfully shortened the settlement period from T+5 to T+3 in December 2000. Based on the
T+3 Settlement System, delivery and settlement dates are fixed based on 3 market days after trade date.
In the implementation process, consultation with industry participants was undertaken to ensure feedback
and concerns are addressed in implementing T+3 to ensure industry participants are fully aware of the
benefits of T+3.
The main objective of shortening the settlement system is to increase efficiency and to reduce settlement
risk in order to enhance competitiveness.
Infrastructure Development
Just as the Exchange is enhancing corporate governance to ensure continued investor confidence, there
has been continuous enhancement in its infrastructure and regulations to meet investor requirements and
expectations, in line with internationally accepted practices.
KLSE s infrastructure and regulations today are comparable to many of the developed exchanges. These
attributes include fully immobilised securities, T+3 settlement system, delivery versus payment, quarterly
reporting and general compliance with international accounting standards.
KLSE has worked closely with industry participants to ensure there is continued progress and improvement
in the infrastructure for the securities industry. This infrastructure development, is to enable a reliable,
efficient and cost effective market to meet investors needs and demands. The results are evident in the
continuing growth of investor interest and investor confidence in the Malaysian securities market.

The benefit of T+3 extends to the various industry participants. Investors will particularly benefit from the shorter
settlement period, which reduces risk and exposure as shares and cash are settled earlier. For international
investors, T+3 standardises the settlement system in line with that of major international exchanges, thus
facilitating investment operations.
Delivery vs Payment
The delivery versus payment (DVP) environment was further enhanced by the implementation of the
Institutional Settlement Service for Direct Business Transactions (ISS-DBT) in July 2001.
The Institutional Settlement Service (ISS) for on-market transactions was first introduced in July 1999. On-
market transactions are transactions that are executed through the Automated and Computerised Trading
System established by the Exchange whilst Direct Business Transactions (DBT) are transactions that are
not executed through the Automated and Computerised Trading System.
ISS enables eligible financial institutions to clear and settle securities transactions on behalf of their
institutional clients directly with SCANS. The beneficial objective of ISS is to reduce the settlement risk
exposure of institutional investors whilst enhancing DVP, in line with international settlement best practices
and requirements. Since its introduction, ISS has been well received, with industry participants increasingly
relying on ISS to clear and settle securities transactions.
W ith ISS expanded for DBT, this will further ensure local and foreign institutional investors continue
to have access to a secure and efficient clearing and settlement system. Similar to industry support
for ISS, since its introduction, ISS-DBT has also been well received by industry participants, with
increasing volume and value of securities transactions cleared and settled through ISS-DBT.
Electronic handling of Provisional Allotment Letters
The electronic management of Provisional Allotment Letters (PALs) was implemented in January
2001.
W ith the immobilisation of PALs, all securities on
the Exchange are traded scripless. This will not
only result in more efficient and convenient delivery,
settlement of trades and reduced costs for
securities holders but also achieve speedier
processing from the books closing date to the listing
of the new securities. Thus, the immobilisation of

Executive Chairman s Statement
III DEVELOPMENTAL STOCKBROKING COMPANIESStockbroking companies, now more than ever, are facing the challenges of an increasingly
liberalised and competitive marketplace.
Recognising that investor capital is mobile regionally and internationally, more securities
markets are reviewing transactions cost in working towards the objective of offering more
comprehensive and more efficient services at lower fees.
Therefore, to remain attractive and competitive, the Malaysian securities market will need to
continually seek efficiency and innovation as a means to continued prosperity.

Reduction in Transaction Cost
Key to industry competitiveness, is the ability to offer competitive cost. Thus, in line with the commitment
to liberalise the capital market, which is expected to improve liquidity and efficient price discovery, the
reduction in transaction cost was implemented. Among others, these factors will contribute to make KLSE
and Malaysia a more attractive and competitive investment destination for investors.
Regulators have taken the lead to promote industry competitiveness by proceeding to reduce the
components of transaction cost which include clearing and other fees as part of the commitment to
enhance the cost competitiveness of the industry.

The reduction in brokerage commission, as part of the reduction in transaction cost, has been implemented
since September 2000 and is expected to be completed by July 2002.
The reduction is in line with the government and industry regulators commitment to liberalise the capital
market to make KLSE and Malaysia a more attractive investment destination for all investors.

Supervising Compliance
As part of the overall effort to ensure a high standard of compliance to prudential requirements review, the
KLSE conducts inspections on stockbroking companies and audits on Authorised Depository Agents (ADAs)
to:
ascertain their compliance to the Rules of KLSE;
to determine their compliance to the Rules of Malaysian Central Depository;
to determine the state of preparedness of branches of stockbroking companies to commence
operations.
Overall, there was continued vigilant monitoring for compliance, as evident from the number of cases
initiated during financial year 2001. However, with the enhanced rules for investor protection and the
continuous investor education programmes undertaken by KLSE, it is expected that the number of cases
will decline in future periods. In addition, heightened levels of controls at stockbroking companies with the
requirement of internal audit function, together with compliance officers to handle clients complaints will

Cost reduction is not the only factor in enhancing the overall competitiveness of the Malaysian
securities market.
Greater compliance to prudential standards and improved vigilance in risk management by
stockbroking companies are also significant factors in contributing to enhanced confidence and the
creation of a more competitive market.
In addition to reduction in transaction cost, on-going measures in enhancing the overall competitiveness of
the Malaysian securities market continue to be implemented in several key areas, i.e. to:
strengthen the financial position of stockbroking companies
encourage greater compliance to prudential standards
improve vigilance in risk management
In line with the successful consolidation and restructuring efforts, the number of stockbroking companies
under trading restrictions was reduced from 8 to 1 during the financial year. 5 of these stockbroking
companies were acquired by other stockbroking companies and another 2 stockbroking companies were
able to regularise their financial positions following the successful implementation of Workout Proposals
with their creditors pursuant to Section 24 of the Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad Act, 1998.
These efforts have collectively contributed in further enhancing the services and business capabilities of
the Malaysian securities industry in line with international standards.
During the period from 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2001, there was an increase in aggregate reserves
and shareholders funds of stockbroking companies, as follows:-
* During the aforesaid period, there was an increase in the paid-up capital of RM0.444 billion and a reduction of RM0.938billion arising from the consolidation (acquisitions and mergers) within the stockbroking industry. This has resulted in a netreduction of RM0.494 billion.

Universal Brokers
In efforts to further encourage the consolidation of the stockbroking industry, the Securities Commission
(SC) announced guidelines for Universal Brokers in October 2000. The development of universal brokers
is part of the industry strengthening process to create financially stronger and more competitive
stockbroking companies.
A Universal Broker is a stockbroking company, approved by the SC to be a Universal Broker, which is able
to offer a diverse range of products and services within the capital market, including corporate finance,
futures broking business and dealings in debt securities. To become a Universal Broker, a stockbroking
company must meet various quantitative and qualitative criteria besides having merged with or acquired at
least 3 other stockbroking companies.
As at 30 September 2001, the SC has granted Universal Broker status to 5 stockbroking companies.
Following the merger with, and acquisition of other stockbroking companies, these 5 Universal Brokers
have set up in total 15 branch offices. In addition, 3 stockbroking companies, which are not Universal
Brokers, have also acquired in total 3 other stockbroking companies and converted these into their
respective branch offices.
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:45 AM Page 18
Consolidation into an integrated exchange
In line with the competitive strategies of the CMP, KLSE continues in the move to develop an integrated
exchange to achieve optimum utilisation of resources and economies of scale, to achieve greater efficiency
and competitiveness in the securities industry.
W ith the establishment of Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (MDEX) in June 2001, KLSE completed the
integration of The Kuala Lumpur Options and Financial Futures Exchange (KLOFFE) and Commodity and
Monetary Exchange of Malaysia (COMMEX) as an integrated derivatives exchange.
KLSE has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Malaysian Exchange of Securities
Dealing and Automated Quotation (MESDAQ) on 27 June 2001 to initiate discussions with MESDAQ for it
to join the KLSE Group.
In connection with an integrated exchange, the CMP s recommendation includes the establishment of a
common trading platform and a common clearing and settlement platform across all exchange-traded
products. Such a move is intended to facilitate a single integrated access for investors to an integrated
exchange that is able to offer a wide range of products. This will benefit not only market intermediaries
but all market participants in an industry that will offer greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Disclosure Based Regulation
KLSE continues to progress with the implementation of the full Disclosure Based Regulation (DBR) for the
primary market.
As part of the implementation effort, KLSE has developed a DBR model that is suitable for the Malaysian
equity market and consistent with international best practices. This effort includes benchmarking, research
and consultation with market participants, industry specialists and the SC. In the process, special emphasis
is placed on reduction of timeframes for capital raisings, lowering of costs for capital raisings, extensive
use of information technology and introduction of
more efficient operational processes and
procedures.
The National Bond Market Project
Amongst the recommendations put forth in the CMP
is the development of a robust, active and liquid
bond market. KLSE is actively involved in various
aspects, including the creation of an exchange
traded bond market.
The exchange traded bond
market aims to widen access
The move to disclosure based regulation is to provide a more efficient framework for corporations to
raise capital, in the shortest time possible, without compromise to investor protection.

IV DEVELOPMENTAL MARKET INSTITUTIONSIn enhancing industry development, the Capital Market Masterplan supports the adoption of
competitive strategies including the consolidation of exchanges, catalytic development of the
derivatives and bond markets and continued enhancement of disclosure based regulations.
The KLSE Group is committed to implementing the recommendations of the CMP in a practical
and expeditious manner, for the overall benefit of the industry.

Informed Investing Activities
For the period under review, a total of 83 Saturday Informed Investing talks were conducted at the regional
Balai Maklumat BSKL, drawing a total audience of over 5000 participants ranging from academia,
professionals, students to the general investing public and other industry participants.
Topics covered ranged from understanding basic components of the stock market, to smart investing and
investor rights. These programmes have in turn created awareness and greater interest in the use of the
facilities and services of Balai Maklumat BSKL. For the period under review, over 52,000 visitors used the
facilities provided at the Public Information Centre in Kuala Lumpur and the regional network of Balai
Maklumat.
KLSE also organised two roadshows in 2001 Miri from 14-16 June 2001 and Kuantan from 29-30 June
2001. The roadshows are for the purpose of educating investors on fundamentals of investing and to
update the general public on the latest developments in the stock market and securities industry. Besides
KLSE, the SC, Permodalan Nasional Berhad and the respective local stockbroking companies Sarawak
Securities in Miri and Kuala Lumpur City Securities in Kuantan, participated in the roadshows.
KLSE Investors Week
The inaugural KLSE Investors Week 2000 was held from 12 to 16 September 2000. The event, which is
in line with KLSE s efforts to enhance investor education and promote the Malaysian capital market,
received overwhelming response with more than 16,000 visitors.
This was followed by KLSE Investors Week 2001 held from 5-9 September 2001, which expanded the
range of topics presented to include an overview of the Malaysian securities market, principles of informed
investing, investment options, investor rights, conventional and syariah investments. The response to the
talk sessions on the Malaysian capital market as well as the company presentation sessions was
exceptional.
Meanwhile, to further promote and educate investors, the Exchange has actively participated at various
events during the year including:
Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), Jengka, Pahang (10-13 August
2000)
Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), Kota Bahru, Kelantan (20-24

V INVESTOR EDUCATION & TRAININGThe wealth of information and facilities provided by KLSE is an example of its significant
investment in one of the principal groups it serves the investors.
KLSE has been unrelenting in its efforts to promote investments in the stockmarket based on
fundamentals and knowledge gained from understanding the market. Investing hard-earned
money should not be determined by speculation or rumours.
The continued ability of investors to participate in the KLSE, and invest well, is of paramount
importance to the Exchange. An informed investor is a more prudent investor.

International Communications TeamFurther to the announcement by the Honourable Minister of Finance in the Budget 2001, KLSE establishedan International Communications Team (ICT) in November 2000, with the purpose of fostering relations withand enhancing the information flow to the international investment community.
Specifically, ICT focuses on:Enhancing dissemination of comprehensive and accurate market and other relevant information to theinternational media; andFostering more open and active communications with the foreign investment community, including fundmanagers,
with the purpose of addressing perception gaps and correcting misconceptions that might exist regardingthe Malaysian market on a timely basis.
Among the activities that ICT has undertaken since its establishment are as follows:-

VI INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSW ith accelerating globalisation and planned liberalisation, exchanges worldwide have quickly
moved to forge international alliances.
Exchanges no longer hold an exclusive franchise for listing and trading of instruments within
borders. Domestic exchanges are now being challenged not only by other exchanges but also
by alternative trading systems such as electronic communication networks (ECNs).
To ensure continued relevance and competitiveness, KLSE has to be at the forefront of these
developments. However, in pursuing these alliances, KLSE will not lose sight of its principal
objectives to continue to offer a secure, efficient and cost effective platform for Malaysian
corporations to raise capital and to facilitate investments to be the premier exchange for
Malaysian securities.

The performance of the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange (KLSE) was very much in line with that
of other markets during the period between July
2000 to end-June 2001. During the period, most of
the equity markets showed a downtrend, primarily
driven by the uncertain direction
of the global economy. The contraction in the global
technology industry on which the region s export
strength is based contributed to the weakening of
the regional economies and respective equity
markets. Some of these markets were also
influenced by social and political developments.
As at 29 June 2001, the last trading day of the
fiscal year, the KLSE Composite Index (CI) declined
240.38 points or 28.84% to close at 592.99
compared to 833.37 on 30 June 2000. Similarly,
total market capitalisation at 29 June 2001
decreased by 29.55% to RM403 billion from RM572
billion a year ago. Total volume decreased to 34
billion units valued at RM89 billion in contrast to
106 billion units valued at RM305 billion during the
previous period.
On 3 July 2000, the first trading day of the financial
year, the CI dipped below the 800-point level to
793.93 in thin trading as a result of profit-taking at
the end of June. Concerns lingered over the
expected impact of the staggered release of the
Central Limit Order Book shares, which when proved
to be unfounded, saw renewed interest in the market.
On 13 July, the CI reached a high of 860.77,
encouraged by the Right Honourable Prime
Minister s statement that Malaysia was expected to
register a GDP growth of 9% for 2nd quarter 2000,
and by expectations of a possible ratings upgrade
by Moody s. However, a report by Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter of its decision to reduce Malaysia s
weighting in its portfolio from 11.7% to 1.6%
dampened sentiment once again. By the end of
July, the CI slipped to 798.83. Total market
capitalisation fell from RM572 billion at the end of
June to RM558 billion at end-July. While average
daily volume for the month was 194 million units
compared to 163 million units in June 2000,
average daily value shrank to RM532 million
compared to RM636 million.
Trading remained quiet in August with investors
staying on the sidelines amidst a lack of positive
leads. The CI closed at 795.84 at month s end,
almost unchanged from its end-July level. Average
daily volume transacted reduced to 106 million units
valued at RM391 million while market capitalisation
was marginally lower at RM553 billion.
Uncertainty surrounding the merger of banking
institutions dominated market sentiments in
September. Added to this concern was the
possibility that the rise in crude oil prices could lead
to a slowdown in the global economy and
negatively impact Malaysian exports. The U.S. and
regional markets also recorded weak performances
on the back of profit warnings from U.S. companies
and weakness in the Euro. The CI closed at its
lowest level for the month at 713.51, a drop of
82.33 points or 10.35% from end-August. While
1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:46 AM Page 25
26
Market Report 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001
average daily volume increased to 124 million units,
average daily value declined to RM374 million.
Market capitalisation fell to RM489 billion.
Although the market continued to move lower in
early October, taking the lead from poor U.S.
corporate news, interest returned to the market mid-
month, in anticipation of an investor-friendly Budget
2001. Investors interest in the market was apparent
from the significant rise in average daily volume to
285 million units for the period 13-25 October
compared to 132 million units from
2-12 October. Buying support of index-heavyweights
lifted the CI to the month s high of 796.22 on 25
October. This uptrend, however, could not be
sustained as profit-taking set in following Budget
Day. Nevertheless, the CI managed to move higher
by 38.85 points or 5.44% to close the month at
752.36. Average daily volume for October was 205
million units valued at RM635 million. Similarly,
market capitalisation improved to RM502 billion.
In November, uncertainty over the U.S. presidential
election, worries over the future earnings of U.S.
technology stocks and concerns over local corporate
restructuring exercises pressured the CI lower to
729.95 at the close of the month, a loss of 22.41

points or 2.98%. Average daily volume transacted
declined to 111 million units valued at RM334
million. Market capitalisation contracted to RM487
billion.
Activity in December continued to be affected by
lingering concerns over the pace of corporate and
debt restructuring, companies commitment to raise
the standard of corporate governance and potential
threats from the economic slowdown in the U.S.
Consequently, the CI ended the year 2000 at
679.64, lower by 50.31 points or 6.89% from the
previous month. Likewise, market capitalisation
shrank to RM444 billion, although average daily
volume increased to 138 million units valued at
RM348 million. The announcement on 10
December by Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) of its decision to apply the free-float criteria
on weighting of index calculations had no visible
impact on the market.
From 20 December, KLSE implemented its shorter
settlement period from T+5 to T+3, which
proceeded smoothly.

The unexpected decision by the U.S. Federal
Reserve to cut key interest rates by 50 basis points
on 3 January managed to lift the CI higher
temporarily, in tandem
with other regional markets. Supported by a pre-
Chinese New Year run-up, the CI crossed the 700-

thereafter to end the month at 727.73, a gain of
48.09 points or 7.08% compared to 679.64 on 26

volume in January rose to 162 million units valued at
RM378 million compared to 138 million units valued
at RM348 million in December 2000.
However, the upside was capped by lack of follow-
through buying support and weakness in the U.S.
markets.
Sentiment turned negative again in February due
also to the release of poorer-than-anticipated
corporate results and weak economic data at home.
Reflecting investors’ passive mood was the
undersubscription in several Initial Public Offers
(IPOs) during the following months. The negative
undertone towards IPOs was also felt by
other markets, in particular where it involved the
telecommunication and technology sectors. The CI
closed at 709.39 for the month of February, a drop
of 18.34 points or 2.52%. Average daily volume fell
to 131 million units valued at RM376 million. Market
capitalisation shrank to RM459 billion.
A key event during the month was the launch of the

Capital Market Masterplan (CMP) on 22 February.
The CMP contains a three-phase development plan
over a
10-year period to ensure that the domestic capital
market continues to remain relevant and
competitive. While the release of the plan had no
immediate impact on the market, it was welcomed as
a long-term measure to strengthen the industry.
The market drifted lower in March, with the CI
falling below the 700-level to end the month at
647.48. Sentiment continued to be influenced by the
U.S. markets, which went through severe
corrections. The Nasdaq Composite Index plunged
below the 2000-level for the first time in more than
two years on revisions of earnings by technology
companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
closed below the 10,000-level for the first time
since October 2000 on signs that the U.S.
economic slowdown was extending beyond
technology companies. This influenced not only the
regional bourses, but also the KLSE. To protect the
Malaysian economy from the adverse effects of a
U.S. economic slowdown, the Government
announced a RM3 billion stimulus package. For the
month, average daily volume decreased to 100
million units valued at RM226 million, while market
capitalisation moved lower to RM418 billion.
This correctional phase continued into mid-April,
with the CI touching 553.34 on 9 April, its lowest
level for the period under review. There were
reports of concerns that the Ringgit peg could be
reviewed due to softening regional currencies,
declining international reserves and fears of
increasing non-performing loans. Falling stock
prices resulted in recurring margin calls from
stockbrokers and financial institutions, thus
exacerbating the situation. On 23 April, the Eighth
Malaysia Plan (8MP) was tabled in Dewan Rakyat
by the Right Honourable Prime Minister. The three
key thrusts in the 8MP were to shift growth from
input-driven to knowledge-driven, speed up structural
changes in the agriculture, manufacturing and
services sectors, and strengthen socio-economic
stability by equitable distribution of the country s
wealth. Whilst there was no immediate response
from the market by the tabling of the 8MP, there
was, however, some accumulation of selective blue
chips ahead of the corporate results season. This
lent some support to the market, with the CI
recovering by 31.16 points or 5.63% from its low of
553.34 on
9 April to close the month at 584.50. Compared to
its level at end March, the CI was still lower by
62.98 points or 9.73%. Average daily volume
transacted improved to 118 million units with a
value of RM248 million. Market capitalisation,
however, fell to RM394 billion.
In early May, the market staged a brief rally with
the CI breaching the 600-level on 2 May to close at
611.42, in reaction to the government s abolishment
of the 10% exit levy on profits of portfolio
investments repatriated within one year. However,
the uptrend was not sustained and the CI fell again
below the 600-level to 576.99 on 4 May on heavy
selling of selected heavyweights. Concerns
surfaced over the poorer-than-expected banking

STRENGTHENING CORPORATE GOVERNANCECorporate governance is essential for investor confidence and enhancement of shareholder value. It is only
with high standards of corporate governance that a quality and vibrant market can be cultivated, one which
is premised on principles of fairness, integrity, transparency and accountability.
Why the need for corporate governance
In Malaysia, corporate governance has always been
recognised as the primary focus of increasing
shareholders value. Laws, rules and regulations
have long been in place to ensure that the principles
of corporate governance are adhered to by listed
companies. However, with the financial crisis, came
the realisation that more had to be done in this area.
The need to enhance corporate governance was
amplified by the onslaught of globalisation. In this
era of fluid capital and transborder investments, a
market s stability and future growth hinges on a culture
of heightened corporate governance and increased
transparency.
Finance Committee on Corporate Governance
It was against this background that the Government
established the Finance Committee on Corporate
Governance to improve the corporate governance
framework for the Malaysian capital market. The
Finance Committee recommended changes to the
relevant laws, regulations and rules, formulated a
Code on Corporate Governance for the industry and
even made recommendations to enhance corporate
governance through training and education.
Measures undertaken by KLSE to enhance
corporate governance
Fully cognisant of good corporate governance and
in its efforts to continuously enhance the capital
market, the KLSE has over time implemented
various corporate governance requirements. KLSE
has required each listed company to have
independent directors since the 1980s and has
required the establishment of an audit committee in
each listed company since 1993. As an active
member participating in the Finance Committee,
KLSE quickly moved to operationalise and
implement the recommendations put forth. KLSE
has implemented applicable recommendations of
the Finance Committee in relation to the Listing
Requirements, via the introduction of the new
Listing Requirements that were announced in
January 2001. The KLSE also undertook various
other measures to heighten the level of corporate
governance amongst its listed companies via the
new Listing Requirements. Thereafter, KLSE
conducted roadshows and seminars throughout the
country to actively promote awareness of corporate
governance and encourage its acceptance by
industry participants. These activities are expected
to be on-going as part of the securities market
development programme.
Generally, the approach adopted by KLSE is to
provide a strong framework of corporate
governance consisting of minimum standards of
corporate governance which must be complied with
by all listed companies. Beyond this, listed
companies should be allowed the flexibility to
develop and adapt practices that are best suited to
their own business circumstances and market
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:47 AM Page 31
32
requirements. However, to meet the increasing
demand by investors and shareholders for more
effective disclosure of information on governance
issues, KLSE has mandated the disclosure of
information relating to the extent of compliance with
corporate governance practices and state of internal
control.
Corporate governance framework
The framework put in place by KLSE focuses on
practitioners with key responsibilities in the
corporate landscape the directors and audit
committee members. In short, KLSE sought to
create a sound framework for corporate governance
in the Listing Requirements through the following:
enhancing the definition of independent director
and strengthening the composition of the board
of directors
requiring directors to attend a prescribed
minimum number of board meetings
enhancing the composition of the audit
committee, its functions, rights and authority
express statement of directors rights
imposition of obligations on directors

To ensure greater compliance with the Listing
Requirements, the Exchange has issued 12 Practice
Notes. These Practice Notes have been issued with
the objective of promoting better understanding and
to facilitate consistent application of the new Listing
Requirements by industry participants.
Acceptance by industry
Most importantly, however, the industry must buy-in
to the efforts made by the regulators in promoting
corporate governance. Listed companies in
particular must embrace corporate governance in
total. Why? Because good corporate governance is
the way to enhance investor confidence and in turn,
attract more investors and investments. By
committing to high standards of corporate
governance, shareholder value will be enhanced.
Investors are becoming more discerning. Empirical
studies have shown that investors are willing to pay
a premium for companies with good corporate
governance. They believe that companies with good
corporate governance will perform better over time,
leading to enhanced shareholders value and a
higher share price. Some see good corporate
governance as a means of reducing risk. Other
stakeholders, such as the employees also
recognise good governance. In this age of the
knowledge-economy, employee commitment is of
paramount importance and may be the determinant
factor in the success of a company.
Enforcement as impetus for compliance
However, rules and regulations by themselves may
not be effective if not accompanied by acceptance
and desire to comply by the industry. This is where
surveillance, monitoring and enforcement continue to
be part of KLSE s duty to the industry. KLSE has
always been committed to enforcing its Listing
Requirements objectively, promptly and without fear
or favour and it will continue to do so under the
new Listing Requirements.
In tandem with the rising expectations of directors
performance and accountability to the company and
its shareholders, KLSE is empowered under the
new Listing Requirements, to take action against
the directors personally, where they commit a
breach of the Listing Requirements. Such
enforcement actions against directors, where
necessary will serve as a wake-up call that they
have been put in positions of trust and that they
must honour this trust and act in the best interests
of the company. To assist the directors in
discharging their duties, KLSE has also mandated
them to attend training programmes on a
continuous basis.
The Adjudication Panel of the KLSE Corporate Awards ensuresthat recipients of the Awards are companies that practise highstandards of corporate governance.

KLSE CORPORATE AW ARDSThe KLSE Corporate Awards were developed to honour companies listed on both the Main Board and
Second Board of the KLSE, which have shown exemplary corporate conduct in complying with the KLSE
Listing Requirements. The Awards also recognise public listed companies which have demonstrated high
standards of corporate governance, disclosure and transparency and have been proactive in investor
relations.
More importantly, the aim of the Awards is to
inspire public listed companies to practise high
standards of corporate conduct as a mechanism of
self-regulation and establish the practice of a
greater degree of accountability and responsibility to
shareholders, investors and other stakeholders.
The KLSE Corporate Awards are presented
annually with 2 categories of awards the KLSE
Corporate Excellence Awards and the KLSE
Corporate Sectoral Awards. The KLSE Corporate
Excellence Awards honour the top 2 companies
each from the Main Board and the Second Board
respectively. The KLSE Corporate Sectoral Awards
are presented to the top company of each sector
from the Main Board and Second Board. All
companies listed
on the KLSE are eligible to participate in the KLSE

THE CAPITAL MARKET MASTERPLAN COMMITMENT TO IMPLEMENTATION
Introduction
The Capital Market Masterplan (CMP), unveiled by the Securities Commission (SC) on 22 February 2001,
provides a vital roadmap for the Malaysian capital market covering a period of ten years, i.e. 2001 2010.
The CMP aims to foster and develop a capital market, which will be internationally competitive, highly
efficient and supported by a strong and facilitative regulatory framework. In short, the CMP sets out a vision
where the Malaysian capital market should be:
Internationally Competitive in all areas necessary to support Malaysia’s basic capital and investment
needs, as well as its longer-term objectives;
Highly Efficient as a conduit for the mobilisation and allocation of funds; and
Supported by a Strong and Facilitative Regulatory Framework that enables the capital market to
perform its functions effectively and provides a high degree of confidence to its users.
The achievement of these, as envisioned by the
C M P, is through the development and achievement
of the six key objectives, composed of 24 strategic
initiatives and 152 specific recommendations.
The implementation and achievement of the
objectives, strategic initiatives and
recommendations of the CMP is characterised by a
phased approach. The approach has been
identified as involving three distinct phases:
Phase 1: Strengthen domestic capacity, and
develop strategic and nascent
sectors (2001-2003)
Phase 2: Further strengthen key sectors and
gradually liberalise market access
(2004-2005)
Phase 3: Further expansion and
strengthening of market processes
and infrastructure towards
becoming a fully developed capital
market, and enhancing
international positioning
in areas of comparative and
competitive advantage (2006-
2010)
For the KLSE Group, the significance of the CMP
is undoubtedly huge as almost two thirds of the
recommendations made in the CMP have
relevance, either directly or indirectly.
The KLSE Group
Addressing the CMP Recommendations
The KLSE Group has taken a proactive role in
implementing the recommendations contained in the
C M P. In fact, work on some of the
recommendations commenced as early as in 1998,
as reflected by KLSE s lead role in pursuing
consolidation of market institutions. The acquisition
of the Kuala Lumpur Options and Financial Futures
Exchange (KLOFFE) and subsequent merger of
KLOFFE with the Commodity and Monetary
Exchange of Malaysia (COMMEX) to form the
Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (MDEX) is a prime
example.
W ith the launch of the CMP, KLSE recognises that
to implement the recommendations would require
pg1-78.qxd 1/2/02 11:47 AM Page 35
36
Issues in Focus
efficient and effective management and co-
ordination. For this, the KLSE Group formed an
implementation committee comprising senior
management personnel to co-ordinate, monitor and
supervise the implementation of the CMP
recommendations.
CMP Implementation Committee
The internal framework to implement the CMP
recommendations within the KLSE Group is the
CMP Implementation Committee (CIC). Headed by
the Executive Chairman of KLSE, the CIC provides
an oversight to the KLSE CMP implementation
programme.
CIC will also act as the primary contact point with
the SC s Implementation Task Force and the various
W orking Committees established to oversee the
implementation of the CMP recommendations. To
enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the CIC,
the task of implementing the CMP
recommendations is assigned to specific teams.
Project Teams
The establishment of Project Teams is to directly
undertake the specific task of implementing the
recommendations. Based on the identification of
areas related to the CMP recommendations, six
core areas have been identified, namely:
Business and Industry Development
Clearing, Settlement and Depository
Infrastructure and Technology
Intermediary Activities and Supervision
Primary and Secondary Market
Derivatives
A Project Team has been assigned to each core
area and will be responsible to represent the KLSE
Group at the various Working Committees
established by SC.

A number of goals have been identified and
addressed under each respective area. In respect
of Business and Industry Development, which covers
macro recommendations that affect the development
and growth of the securities and futures markets,
goals that have been identified include market
institutions reform, business development, legal and
regulatory framework, and industry training and
education.
The area of the Clearing, Settlement and Depository
team addresses the need to further enhance
support functions carried out by other market
institutions, namely the clearing and depository
houses, in order to further strengthen and support
the growth and development of the exchanges.
Goals here revolve around the clearing and
settlement infrastructure, depository facilities and
competitive level.
The growth and development of the securities and
futures markets cannot be achieved without
formulation and utilisation of the best technology
and infrastructure in meeting the needs of market
participants. Thus, the area of Infrastructure and
Technology involves issues such as market
infrastructure, technological developments and
electronic commerce.
Of concern to the area of Intermediary Activities
and Supervision are matters related specifically to
stockbroking companies, including their development
and regulation. Goals relevant to this area also
include market activities, stockbroking companies
consolidation, electronic access and market
regulation.
The Primary and Secondary Market cover goals that
concern the development, growth and regulation of

Malaysia DerivativesExchange Bhd
The 2000/2001 financial year marks a significant
landmark for the Malaysian derivatives industry.
In January 1999, a sale and purchase agreement
was finalised between the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange (KLSE) and shareholders of KLOFFE
Capital Sdn Bhd, resulting in the Kuala Lumpur
Options and Financial Futures Exchange Bhd
(KLOFFE) becoming a subsidiary of KLSE.
In September 2000, approvals were obtained from
members of the Commodity and Monetary
Exchange of Malaysia (COMMEX), the Board and
shareholders of KLOFFE and the regulatory
authorities for the merger of the two exchanges to
form a single derivatives exchange.
The strategic objective for the merger exercise was
to create a single, efficient and cost effective
marketplace for Malaysian derivatives. The merger
was also aimed at enhancing the product range
offered by the sole exchange for all three market
segments, namely equity derivatives, financial
derivatives and commodity derivatives.
The Malaysia Derivatives Exchange Bhd, or in
short, MDEX came into being following the
completion of the merger. MDEX was officially
launched on 11 June 2001.
As an integrated derivatives exchange, MDEX
currently offers a wide range of derivatives
products, including the KLSE Composite Index
(KLSE CI) Futures and Option, the 3-Month Kuala
Lumpur Interbank Offered Rate (KLIBOR) Futures
and the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) Futures.

Securities Clearing Automated NetworkServices Sdn Bhd
scansThe Malaysian securities industry has witnessed
many changes and developments which have
brought many enhancements for the benefit of the
investors, the market participants and the nation as
a whole. In view of such rapid changes and
developments SCANS is continuing to assume a
more active role in the securities industry,
particularly in respect to the clearing and settlement
of Market Contracts and other services which would
serve to benefit the industry.
In conjunction with this, SCANS has undertaken a
number of activities/projects during the financial
year to further enhance and strengthen the
infrastructure services of the local market and these
activities/projects. The significant developments
which SCANS achieved during the year under
review are:
Settlement Cycle of T + 3
The most notable development in the year 2000
with regard to the clearing and settlement
infrastructure is in respect of the move from a
T+5 settlement period to a shorter settlement
period of T+3. This was implemented on 20
December 2000.
The conversion to T+3 on 20 December 2000
was smooth and orderly. The successful
implementation of T+3 represented great efforts
across the entire securities industry. There was a
high degree of coordination, cooperation and
synchronisation among the industry participants
to ensure a smooth transition to the shorter
settlement period. Extensive conversion tests

conducted in the months prior to the
implementation of T+3 served as a gauge of
participants preparedness for the switch to the
shortened settlement cycle, thus allowing
participants to adjust to new processing
routines.
The T+3 settlement cycle will create a much
stronger and resilient settlement system which
will maximise investors confidence in our
market and enhance our competitiveness with
that of other markets world wide. The benefits of
implementing T+3 include reducing operational,
credit, market and systemic risk. T+3 also
standardises the settlement system and places
Malaysia in the ranks of other major
exchanges in line with international settlement
best practices.
Upload of Settlement Data into Desktop
Banking Systems
As part of the ongoing efforts to improve the
overall efficiency of the payment process,
SCANS had implemented a process whereby
the payment settlement data would be
uploaded into the Desktop Banking Systems
via diskette with effect from June 2001.
Reduction of Clearing Fee
In line with the government and industry
regulators commitment to liberalise the capital
market, SCANS has implemented the new
clearing fee rate with effect from 1 July 2001.
The clearing fee has been reduced from the
current rate of 0.05% to 0.04%, subject to a
maximum of RM200 per contract. The new
rate affects only trades done on the Exchange

Malaysian Central Depository Sdn Bhd
The financial year under review witnessed the
consolidation of the stockbroking industry and
financial institutions and the creation of a new
category of intermediaries known as Universal
Brokers which are able to take on a wider range of
activities and establish their own branch networks
throughout the country. This resulted in the
reduction of the number of MCD s Authorised
Depository Agents and Authorised Direct Members
(ADMs). In addition, these mergers and acquisitions
among the participants gave rise to the conversion
of some of the existing ADAs into branches and the
cessation of a number of ADMs.

its participants. The new manuals superseded the
previous versions issued in 1995, and are aimed at
strengthening the CDS operations of ADAs and
ADMs.
Effective 2 January 2001, all Provisional Allotment
Letters (PALs) are prescribed into the CDS. The
prescription process has been expedited to enable
the listed companies to obtain their funds sooner
and the investors to obtain their new securities
faster.
Operational Update
During this period, the number of CDS accounts
opened was 77,336 (i.e. an average of 6,444 per
month) bringing the total number of accounts in the
CDS to 2.78 million as at 30 June 2001.
The financial period from 1 July 2000 to 30 June
2001 saw the number of securities immobilised in
the Central Depository System (CDS) increase from
179.8 billion for the previous year to 196.3 billion
securities.
During this financial period, the CDS facilitated the
settlement of 34.9 billion securities traded on the
stock exchanges and the movement of more than
39.4 billion securities by way of the ordinary
transfer facility.
MCD s services are utilised by a total of 64 share
registrars, representing 812 public listed companies,
809 of which are listed on the KLSE and 3 on the
Malaysian Exchange of Securities Dealing and
Automated Quotation (MESDAQ). During the financial
period, a total of 13,241 Record of Depositors
(RODs) detailing investor holdings in the CDS were
produced upon issuers requests.
Compensation Scheme and Insurance
MCD maintains a Compensation Scheme for the
purpose of settling claims by depositors against the
company, its authorised depository agents and
nominees. The scheme is funded by the
Compensation Fund of RM50 million, and a crime
and professional liability insurance policy of RM25
million. In addition, all ADAs are required to
maintain adequate insurance coverage in the form
of crime and professional liability insurance.
Developments During the Year
In facilitating the on-going mergers, MCD
introduced a new facility called Interbranch
Transaction (IBT) on
20 November 2000. The main objective of this
facility is to allow depositors to perform CDS
transaction requests such as deposits, transfers,
updating and closure of accounts, account balance
inquiries and printing of ad-hoc statements at the
ADA branch office other than the branch at which
the relevant account is maintained.
MCD signed a service level agreement on the
Electronic Share Application (ESA) facility with the
MIDF Corporate and Consultancy Services on 8
March 2001. This is in addition to a similar
agreement between MCD and the Malaysian
Issuing House Sdn Bhd (MIH) which was signed on
16 July 1999. The ESA facility provides investors with
an alternative method for applying for shares of
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) via Automatic Teller
Machines (ATMs) of participating financial
institutions without having to complete the IPO
subscription forms.
During the period, MCD issued new sets of the
procedures manual for its ADAs and ADMs after
conducting extensive updates and amendments and
taking into consideration the views and feedback of

The introduction of the KLSE s new Listing
Requirements in February 2001 has resulted in
tremendous increase in the activites of RIIAM as it
was appointed the sole provider of the Mandatory
Accreditation Programme (MAP) for directors of
public listed companies. RIIAM has also been
directly involved in the organisation of various
roadshows, workshops and a major conference in
relation to the new Listing Requirements.
Additionally, RIIAM continued to conduct
programmes throughout the year for markets
participants, investors and the general public.
RIIAM also organised in-house programmes for the
staff of the KLSE Group.
RIIAM organised more than 130 training sessions/
programmes, which include in-house programmes
for the KLSE Group staff and public programmes
for various target audiences in the industry. This
works out to an average of 11 sessions per month.
A substantial number of the programmes for markets
professionals were specially designed
seminars/workshops on Malaysian Accounting
Standards Board (MASB) standards and the
Mandatory Accreditation Programme (MAP)
sessions for directors of public listed companies.
W ith the introduction of the Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) for dealers representatives by the
Securities Commission in January 2001, RIIAM has
been recognised as a training provider for CPE.
The most significant activity for RIIAM is the
implementation of the MAP for directors of public
listed companies. Pursuant to the introduction of the
new Listing Requirements in February 2001, RIIAM
has been assigned by KLSE to conduct the MAP
which consists of a one and a half day seminar.
RIIAM has been conducting the MAP sessions since
April 2001. Apart from the weekly MAP sessions for
the public, RIIAM has also conducted in-house

comprised of various topics ranging from basic
information on the stock market and investment to
professional topics like derivatives and other
instruments. The talks were an overwhelming
success. Apart from Investors Week, together with
KLSE, RIIAM has participated in numerous
roadshows. The roadshows/exhibitions have been a
resounding success as it allows the investing public
the opportunity to interact and provide comments
on investment related issues.

Report of The Committee
The Committee hereby submit their report together with the audited financial statements of the Exchange
and the Group for the financial year ended 30 June 2001.
Principal Activities
The principal activities of the Exchange are to provide, regulate and maintain facilities for conducting the
business of a stock exchange in Malaysia.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 9 to the financial statements.
There were no significant changes in these activities during the financial year except for the addition of
commodity and interest rate futures and options clearing and exchange activities arising from the merger
of the business operations of Commodity and Monetary Exchange of Malaysia ( COMMEX ) with Malaysia
Derivatives Exchange Bhd. ( MDEX ) (formerly known as The Kuala Lumpur Options & Financial Futures
Exchange Bhd.).

Net surplus for the year 24,152,620 36,574,686
Reserves and Provisions
There were no material transfers to or from reserves or provisions during the financial year other than as
disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the transfers made to the Compensation
Fund of Malaysian Central Depository Sdn Bhd as disclosed in Note 21 to the financial statements.
Bad and Doubtful Debts
Before the income statements and balance sheets were made out, the Committee took reasonable steps
to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of
provision for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and
that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts.
At the date of this report, the Committee is not aware of any circumstances which would render the
amounts written off as bad debts or provided for as doubtful debts in the financial statements of the
Exchange and the Group inadequate to any substantial extent.
Current Assets
Before the income statements and balance sheets were made out, the Committee took reasonable steps
to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business
including their values as shown in the accounting records of the Exchange and the Group have been
written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Committee is not aware of any circumstances which would render the values
attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Exchange and the Group misleading.

Valuation Methods
At the date of this report, the Committee is not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which
render adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Exchange and the
Group misleading or inappropriate.
Contingent and Other Liabilities
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a) any charge on the assets of the Exchange or the Group which has arisen since the end of the
financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or
(b) any contingent liability of the Exchange or the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period
of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Committee, will or may
substantially affect the ability of the Exchange or the Group to meet their obligations when they fall due.
Change of Circumstances
At the date of this report, the Committee is not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in
this report or the financial statements of the Exchange or the Group which would render any amount stated
in the financial statements misleading.
Items of an Unusual Nature
The results of the operations of the Exchange and the Group during the financial year were not, in the
opinion of the Committee, substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual
nature.
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Committee, to affect
substantially the results of the operations of the Exchange or the Group for the financial year in which this
report is made.
Significant Events
The significant events during the financial year are disclosed in Note 30 to the financial statements.
Subsequent Event
The subsequent event is disclosed in Note 31 to the financial statements.

by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of any other body corporate.
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Committee Member of the Exchange has received or
become entitled to receive a benefit (other than the fixed salary of a full-time employee of the Exchange,
reimbursement of expenditure incurred in attending Committee Meetings in the form of meeting allowances
and any other benefits in kind as disclosed in the financial statements) by reason of a contract made by
the Exchange or a related corporation with the Committee Member or with a firm of which the Committee

interest.

Auditors Report
To the Members of
KUALA LUMPUR STOCK EXCHANGE
W e have audited the financial statements set out on pages 86 to 117. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Committee Members. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
W e conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Committee Members, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion:
(a) the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and give a true and
fair view of:
(i) the state of affairs of the Exchange and of the Group as at 30 June 2001 and of their results
and their cash flows for the year then ended; and
(ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial
statements;
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Exchange
and its subsidiaries of which we acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the
provisions of the Act.
W e have considered the financial statements and the auditors reports of all the subsidiaries of which we
have not acted as auditors, as indicated in Note 9 to the financial statements, being financial statements
that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.
W e are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the
financial statements of the Exchange are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and
explanations required by us for these purposes.
The auditors reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification
or any adverse comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

1. Principal Activities
The principal activities of the Exchange are to provide, regulate and maintain facilities for conducting
the business of a stock exchange in Malaysia.
The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 9.
There were no significant changes in these activities during the financial year except for the addition
of commodity and interest rate futures and options clearing and exchange activities as disclosed in
Note 30(c).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and comply with
applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Exchange and all its
subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year.
The results of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective
dates of their acquisition. Intragroup transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the
consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only.
At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiaries net assets are determined and these
values are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between the cost
of investments and the net assets of the subsidiaries at the date of acquisition represents
goodwill or reserve arising on consolidation. Goodwill net of reserve arising on consolidation is
written off to the income statement immediately.
(c) Associated Companies
The Group treats as associated companies those companies in which the Group has a long term
equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating
policies.
The Group s share of post acquisition profits less losses of associated companies is included in
the consolidated income statement and the Group s interest in associated companies is stated at
cost plus the Group s share of post-acquisition retained profits and reserves.
(d) Currency Conversion and Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at rates of
exchange approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets
and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange
approximating those ruling at that date. All exchange gains or losses are dealt with in the income
statement.
The USD denominated financial statements of a subsidiary are translated at year-end exchange
rates with respect to the balance sheet, and at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions
with respect to the income statement. All resulting translation differences are taken to reserves.
The exchange rate ruling for USD denominated balances at both balance sheet dates is RM3.80
: USD1.00.

(ii) the share premium of MDEX amounting to RM59,985,960 was reduced in full and utilised to
set-off MDEX s accumulated losses of an equal amount.
30. Significant Events (cont d.)

settled in part through the issuance of 16 B and 15 C class preference shares of RM1.00 each

dormant company. Both companies are incorporated in Malaysia.
