KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia finished lower on Tuesday with almost 700 counters ending in the red after subdued economic data from China dented market sentiment.

The optimism quickly dwindled after a private-sector survey showed on Tuesday that China's services activity expanded at the slowest pace in eight months in August as weak demand continued to dog the world's second-largest economy, Reuters reported.
