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

Page 10: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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.

Page 11: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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

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.

Executive Chairman s Statement

II INFRASTRUCTUREKLSE has a vision to develop into a world class stock exchange.

Notwithstanding its relatively young age, KLSE is a developed exchange in terms of

infrastructure and regulations.

The exchange intends to keep abreast of international developments to ensure its continued

relevance and wide acceptance, by investors and industry participants domestically and

internationally.

Growth of Investor Activity

Reporting Period Total as at1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001 30 September 2001

1. No. of new accounts opened 77,336 2.8 million

2. No. of securities immobilised 16.5 billion 197.8 billion

3. No. of companies prescribed into CDS 28 816

4. Book entry settlement of 34.9 billion 362.7 billiontraded securities

5. No. of ordinary transfer transactions 578,293 8.1 million

6. No. of Record of Depositors (ROD) 13,241 69,464produced

T+3 settlement

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.

Page 19: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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)

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:-

Roadshows and MeetingsIn engaging with the international investment community, meetings with international investors were heldregularly, either locally or abroad.

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

Page 26: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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-

point level on 22 January and continued to rise

thereafter to end the month at 727.73, a gain of

48.09 points or 7.08% compared to 679.64 on 26

December 2000. Market capitalisation at end-

January 2001 improved to RM476 billion from RM444

billion at end-December 2000. Average daily

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

Page 32: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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

Corporate Awards.

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

Page 36: Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Annual Report 2001

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.

The objective of MDEX is to provide a single,efficient and cost-effective marketplace for Malaysianderivatives.

54

MDEX also aims to provide the following benefits:-

i. To meet investors needs for innovative and

flexible investment tools capable of exploiting

global market opportunities,

ii. To provide the conceivable above-average

returns and portfolio protection to investors,

iii. To provide the ability to engage in hedging

activities which in turn can generate a more

efficient financial illustration of investment

portfolios.

Trading will remain on the KLOFFE Automated

Trading System (KATS), an electronic screen-based

trading system. However, trading on the Crude Palm

Oil Futures and the 3-Month KLIBOR Futures

Contracts is currently conducted on the Open Outcry

system. The immediate priority of MDEX is to

transfer these contracts to the KATS. Appropriate

amendments and measures are being made to

ensure smooth conversion which is expected to be

completed by the end of 2001.

As part of our continuous efforts to have more

derivatives products to meet the requirements of all

investors, the Malaysian derivatives market marked

a milestone with the launching of the Kuala Lumpur

Stock Exchange Composite Index (KLSE CI) Option

contract in December 2000. The options launch saw

MDEX embarking on an intensive programme to

educate investors in making full and effective use of

momentous one for Labuan International Financial

Exchange Inc. (LFX Inc) especially with the official

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

investors.

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

At the MCD counter, MCD s staff members are on handto assist investors with their CDS related queries.

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

MAP sessions for several large corporate groups as

requested. More than 3,000 directors of public listed

companies have attended the MAP to date.

In September 2000, RIIAM assisted KLSE to

organise the Investors Week 2000. RIIAM was

tasked to organise Investor Education talks, which

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

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

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.).

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.

(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.

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.

In 1997, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(1)(b)(vii) of the Securities Industry (Central

Depositories) Act, 1991, MCD, a subsidiary, established a scheme of compensation for the purpose

of settling claims by depositors against MCD, its authorised depository agents and Malaysian Central

Depository Nominees Sdn Bhd. The scheme comprises the Compensation Fund and insurance

policies. MCD has also established a policy to maintain the balance in the Compensation Fund at

RM50,000,000. In consideration for the above, all revenue accruing to the Compensation Fund

deposits and investments are to be credited to MCD and all expenditure incurred for and on behalf

of the Compensation Fund will be absorbed by MCD.

During the financial year, the MCD Compensation Fund was segregated and transferred from the

financial statements of the Group and accounted for separately. Pursuant to the said segregation, the

portion of Compensation Fund accruing to the minority shareholders of MCD amounting to

RM22,500,000 was reinstated to the accumulated funds of the Group.

27. Exceptional Item

The exceptional item in the current financial year relates to provision for diminution in value of

investment in KLOFFE Capital Sdn Bhd amounting to RM5,329,285 (2000: RM33,411,115) to reflect

the net tangible assets value of KLOFFE Capital Sdn Bhd and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2001.

The reduction in net tangible assets of KLOFFE Capital Sdn Bhd in the current year was due in part

to a capital reduction and consolidation exercise undertaken by MDEX, a wholly owned subsidiary of

KLOFFE Capital Sdn Bhd, as disclosed in Note 30(b) to the financial statements.

losses by companies within the Group.

30. Significant Events

During the financial year,

(a) A subsidiary, LFX, increased its issued and paid-up share capital from USD100,000 to

USD2,000,000 through the allotment of 1,900,000 new ordinary shares of USD1.00 each. The

shares were fully subscribed by the Exchange, thus retaining the Exchange s 100% equity

interest in LFX.

(b) A subsidiary, MDEX, initiated and completed a capital reduction and consolidation exercise

whereby:

(i) the issued and paid-up ordinary share capital of MDEX of RM40,000,000 comprising

40,000,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each was reduced and consolidated to RM11,426,708

divided into 11,426,708 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each. The resulting credit of

RM28,573,292 was utilised to reduce MDEX s accumulated losses.

(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.)

(c) MDEX and COMMEX completed the signing of an agreement to merge the business operations

of the two exchanges on 22 December 2000. Pursuant to the merger agreement all assets and

liabilities of COMMEX was transferred to MDEX for a consideration of RM16,000,000 to be

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

at a total premium of RM10,999,969 and the remainder in cash to the members of COMMEX.

The merger has also effectively transferred full control and ownership in MDCH (previously an

associated company) and Malaysian Monetary Exchange Berhad ( MME ) to MDEX. MDCH is

principally engaged in providing clearing facilities for futures and options contracts and MME is a

dormant company. Both companies are incorporated in Malaysia.

31. Subsequent Event

A subsidiary, SCANS, made an offer to MDEX on 16 August 2001 to acquire 8,000,000 ordinary

issued and paid-up shares, representing 100% equity interest in MDCH from MDEX, for an estimated

purchase consideration of RM10,873,484. The completion of the above acquisition is currently subject

to finalisation and execution of the terms and conditions of the Share Sale Agreement.

32. KLSE Compensation Fund

The financial statements of the KLSE Compensation Fund for the year ended 30 June 2001 are as

attached and have been accounted for separately from all other properties of Kuala Lumpur Stock
