    MALAYSIAN bond bankers haven't had this little to do in five years as companies shelve investment plans because of a depressed ringgit.

    Companies in South-east Asia's third-biggest economy had sold RM44.6 billion (S$14.6 billion) of notes by the end of September, the least since 2010, according to data from Bank Negara Malaysia. Imports of investment goods shrank 26.4 percent through August, the most since 2009, a trend that Barclays Plc does not see reversing soon.
