Foreign funds seen heading for exit in wake of scrapped deal
News amid market correction could put some foreign investors in risk-averse mode: analysts

The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange closed 0.78 per cent lower after the market was put on the back foot by the surprise cancellation by TRX City Sdn Bhd of a 60 per cent stake sale in Bandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd to Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH) and China Railway Engineering Corporation Sdn Bhd (CREC).
