Governance in the markets: Malaysian perspective

To demonstrate that Malaysia has taken serious measures to improve corporate governance landscape.

Enforcement actions are used as a case study to show the effect of certain measures undertaken by the regulatory authorities to combat economic crime.

There was a drop in prosecutions and other enforcement actions following the introduction of compulsory directors trainings.

Recommendations are made for a smart partnership between the government, regulators and the private sector to improve governance in the markets.

Corporate law and securities law require a sound framework that would promote a safe competitive and orderly market for investors in Malaysia.
