KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 18): Capital market participants (CMPs) can continue to undertake and provide capital market activities and services as they operate as they are considered essential service providers under the services sector, says the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC).

As such, those who may require verification letter(s) to facilitate travel movements for their employees or third party service providers for critical functions can email their requests or queries to [email protected].

"All CMPs are reminded to adhere to the applicable standard operating procedures, be vigilant and take all  necessary measures to minimise the risk of the spread of Covid-19 at their workplace.

"This includes observing that 30% of management staff are allowed at premises and suspending sales and marketing activities outside CMPs’ premises or in public places for areas under the Movement Control Order (MCO) that took effect on Jan 13," the SC said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, the SC said it has issued an update of the guidance note on the conduct of general meetings for listed issuers, which reminds listed issuers to only conduct fully virtual meetings in areas under MCO and Conditional MCO.

“Hybrid or physical meetings may be conducted in areas under Restricted MCO or areas not subjected to any movement restrictions,” it said.
