Malaysia wants SGX-Bursa trading link back on the table: Zafrul
THE Singapore and Malaysia bourses may be poised to jumpstart talks for a "seamless" trading link, more than 3 years after a plan to have an end-to-end link up between both exchanges got the chop following a regime change in Malaysia.
"We plan to revive (the plan) but are looking at a different format, a different model. We have to (do this). ...we waited very long," Malaysia's Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz told The Business Times. He added: "It's conceptual for now and we are going to kick start it. I have already asked Bursa Malaysia to look at this."
"I'm hoping, you know, as soon as possible, obviously to tap into this....by end of next year," he replied when asked about the timeline to get the project off the ground.
