Securities Commission Malaysia

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is a statutory body established under the Securities Commission Act 1993 to regulate and develop the Malaysian capital markets. Headquartered in Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur, the SC oversees Bursa Malaysia, unit trust management companies, corporate bond issuers, and all participants in the Malaysian securities and derivatives market. The SC's Legal and Enforcement Division handles investigations into securities fraud, insider trading, market manipulation, and corporate governance breaches. The commission's lawyers draft regulatory guidelines, review prospectuses and corporate proposals, and represent the SC in enforcement proceedings before the courts and the Capital Market Compensation Fund. The SC is also a key regulator of Islamic capital market products, working with the Shari'ah Advisory Council to ensure compliance of sukuk and other Islamic instruments. Legal professionals at the SC gain deep expertise in securities regulation, corporate finance, and capital market enforcement.
