The Board of Directors of Bursa Malaysia is committed to ensure that Bursa Malaysia fosters an environment where integrity and ethical behaviour is maintained. Bursa Malaysia has zero tolerance on any conduct that constitutes a wrongdoing or malpractice (“Improper Conduct”).

Improper Conduct

Improper Conduct is generally described as any conduct by an Employee or Director which if proven constitutes a criminal offence or any conduct that constitutes a wrongdoing or malpractice and may include, but not limited to any of the following: 

1. The breach of any law, regulation or rule that is applicable to the Company and breaches of policies and procedures. For example, a breach of insider trading laws. 

2.  Any criminal act, including criminal breach of trust, extortion and sabotage. 

3. Any act that is likely to cause significant financial loss or costs to the Company including any intentional misrepresentation of the Company’s financial statements. 

4. Any breach of ethics as described in the Code of Ethics or conflict of interest and/or any fraudulent act including those described in the Anti-Fraud, Bribery & Corruption Policy, Entertainment Policy, Purchasing Manual and other relevant documents. Examples of such acts include forgery, theft, any form of corruption (including accepting and giving bribes), unauthorised disclosure of the Company’s confidential information and abuse of power for personal gain. 

5. Any other action that would cause significant harm to the Company or to any person(s). 

6. The deliberate concealment of information concerning any of the matters listed above.

The policy covers all reports made against any Employee or Director who has committed an Improper Conduct. A report of Improper Conduct may be made by an Employee or any External Party who has knowledge of an Improper Conduct committed by any other Employee or Director.

Any reports of Improper Conduct committed by market participants and/or any breach of the securities laws by any market participant should be channelled to the Securities Commission which is an “enforcement agency” under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 (“Act”).

Requirement of Good Faith 

1. Since an allegation of Improper Conduct may result in serious personal repercussions for the person who has allegedly committed an Improper Conduct, any person who intends to lodge any report of Improper Conduct shall ensure that the report of Improper Conduct is made in good faith. 

2. Any person making an allegation of Improper Conduct must have reasonable and probable grounds before reporting such Improper Conduct and must undertake such reporting in good faith, for the best interest of the Company and not for personal gain or motivation.
