Due to numerous corporate and legal imperatives, capital markets throughout the globe are continually developing. The legal and regulatory structure of the securities and futures markets in Malaysia has changed dramatically during the previous 15 years, culminating with the passing of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007. This book will serve as a practical guide to the Malaysian capital market's legal and regulatory structure. It will provide legal professionals, law students, and intermediates who engage in activities such as securities sales, investment advice, and corporate finance with a thorough grasp of how the Malaysian capital market is governed. Individual clauses are examined, and international cases are used to offer context for these parts. This book will provide a wide variety of concepts that are crucial to the functioning of financial markets. It encompasses exchange legislation, as well as the governance structure of the exchange after demutualization. In the field of licencing, it will describe the CMSA's single licencing system and the expectations and responsibilities imposed on the licenced individual. These requirements are especially crucial for financial institutions, such as banks, that engage in capital market operations and are subject to the CMSA's core investor protection laws as registered persons. This book will be valuable to anybody interested in capital raising activities since it explains how the law governs certain business transactions, such as takeovers. Corporate governance is extremely important for publicly traded organisations, and this book shows how the law and stock market regulations reflect this necessity. This is a very dynamic field of law and regulation, and the book gives some insight into the regulatory trends and issues that exist on both the local and international fronts.
