For Malaysian Equities, Cheap Is Not Enough, Visibility Counts

For Malaysia despite strong headline growth of 5.1% in 2024, there remains strong outflow of funds with the FBMKLCI down 4.6% on a YTD basis.

Peter Kong, Head of Research, Kenanga Investment Bank tells us whilst giving us his top picks for Bursa Malaysia.
