KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 – Bursa Malaysia dipped into negative territory after a late-session sell-off erased earlier gains. Profit-taking intensified in the final hour as investors secured returns, resulting in a markedly higher count of declining stocks over advancing ones.
Telecom shares were in the spotlight when Telekom Malaysia upgraded its full-year profit guidance. Telecommunications counters topped turnover with around XX million shares changing hands, followed by plantation stocks at 28.54 million and REITs at 17.08 million shares.

💡 Implications for Malaysian Investors
Urban demand in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Penang, government schemes such as PR1MA, Bank Negara Malaysia’s rate decisions, and major infrastructure efforts like MRT3 and LRT expansions all influence Malaysia’s real estate sector. Additionally, the performance of REITs on Bursa Malaysia mirrors broader economic trends.
🔗 Useful Resources
Malaysian investors might consider tenanted properties, budget-friendly housing projects, commercial real estate, and REITs on Bursa. As more people move to cities and rental demand climbs, balancing direct property holdings with listed REITs offers risk mitigation and potential for growth.
