PETALING JAYA: Bursa Malaysia Bhd has revised the tick rule for regulated short-selling (RSS), allowing orders to be executed at the best current asking price or higher instead of just at a price higher than the last done price of the approved securities.

The stock exchange also now allows investors to borrow securities for the settlement of potential failed trades rather than be subjected to the buying-in process.
