Malaysia market has been under-appreciated with the KLCI only recording 2 positive returns (in 2017 and 2020) over the past 10 years. This is mainly due to foreign fund selling, inconsistent policy follow-through, along with external forces such as the US sticking to higher rates for a longer period and a sluggish recovery in China. However, things have improved since the 2H of last year and this strong momentum persists into 2024, with KLCI registering +6.7% gains YTD as of Feb 2024, indicating signs of renewed optimism towards the Malaysia market. Despite the recent rally, we hold a positive view on Malaysia market over the medium to long term. $$$$$$$$$$$$ 16/03/2024 5:21 PM Good123 LAST DAY FOR 4.2 SEN INTERIM DIVIDEND.
