PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission (SC) is believed to have raided premises of listed companies for suspected abuse of fund-raising activities.

According to well-placed sources, the regulator kicked off the investigations following complaints and tip-offs from the public on alleged fraud, as well as potential false or misleading disclosure by several public-listed companies in their fund-raising exercises, including private placements, employees share option schemes and rights issues.
