KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian stock market suffered one of the worst days of 2014 as the key FBM KLCI fell sharply on foreign selling of Petronas-related stocks, banks and power company Tenaga Nasional.

There was no let-up in the selling pressure throughout the day as the market continued to be routed by persistent foreign selling since Dec 1.
