In 1964, the Stock Exchange of Malaysia was established. With the secession of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965, the Stock Exchange of Malaysia became known as the Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore. In 1973, currency interchangeability between Malaysia and Singapore ceased, and the Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore was divided into KLSEB and SES. The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange which was incorporated on December 14, 1976 as a company limited by guarantee, took over the operations of KLSEB in the same year. 1964 (MCMLXIV) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1964 calendar). ... 1973 (MCMLXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday. ...

We were demutualized pursuant to the Demutualization Act and converted into a public company limited by shares on January 5, 2007. We were then known as Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Berhad pursuant to the demutualization. Upon the conversion, we vested and transferred our securities exchange business to our new wholly-owned subsidiary, Bursa Securities, and became an exchange holding company and were renamed Bursa Malaysia Berhad on April 14, 2007. April 14 is the 104th day of the year (105 in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 261 days remaining. ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...


From the legal perspective, our demutualization essentially entailed our conversion from a not-for-profit "mutual" entity limited by the guarantee of its members into a company limited by shares. However, from the business strategy perspective, our demutualization, supported by business transformation initiatives, is intended to further enhance our corporate, organizational and governance structures. We believe that, pursuant to our demutualization, we are now better positioned to face current and future challenges under our new legal, corporate and organizational structure. In addition, we believe that our demutualization has permitted us to be more customer-driven and market-oriented.


On 18 March 2006, Bursa Malaysia made its debut on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad with a 17% or RM0.50 premium over its retail price of RM3.00. top

    Ia merupakan satu perkara yang boleh disalah guna sekiranya kami tidak melakukannya secara betul,'' kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Bursa Malaysia, Yusli Mohamed Yusoff pada sidang akhbar bagi mengumumkan keputusan kewangan 2005 bursa itu di sini hari ini.
    Katanya, hanya kerana jualan singkat telah ditolak secara umum oleh kerajaan pada masa lalu, ia tidak bermakna Bursa Malaysia perlu memadamkan harapannya.
    Justeru, Bursa Malaysia tidak memerlukan lebih banyak pendedahan buat masa ini, tambah Yusli.
