PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission (SC) and Bursa Malaysia have introduced the MY Value Up Programme – a collaborative initiative to support Malaysian public-listed companies (PLCs) in elevating their long‑term value creation and transforming into globally attractive investment propositions.
Aligned with the Capital Market Masterplan 2026 to 2030 (Masterplan), MY Value Up reflects a shared commitment by the SC and Bursa Malaysia to foster a more dynamic corporate landscape, they said in a joint statement.
“Essentially, the MY Value Up programme aims to encourage PLCs to adopt a more conscious and proactive approach in communicating their growth story.
“By encouraging companies to articulate and disclose their mid- to long‑term strategies, MY Value Up helps PLCs signal stronger corporate ambition and facilitate more meaningful engagement with domestic and regional investors.”
The SC and Bursa Malaysia said this also translates to more transparent and forward‑looking disclosures that enhance investor confidence and support informed capital‑allocation decisions.
Separately, the SC said it held an engagement session with chairpersons and C-suite executives of the top 88 PLCs listed on Bursa Malaysia and capital market industry leaders.
“The 88 PLCs selected for the programme collectively account for 80% of the market capitalisation of listed companies on Bursa Malaysia, with each having a minimum market capitalisation of approximately RM4bil.
“The session focused on the pivotal role these PLCs play in strengthening Malaysia’s corporate valuation and overall market attractiveness.”
SC chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi said that MY Value Up is about guiding the mindset of boards towards long‑term value creation.
“The new masterplan sets a bold vision for a more dynamic and competitive capital market.
“Our goal is to move together from a culture of mere compliance to one of active value creation.
“It is an opportune time for our leading PLCs to widen their lens and benchmark themselves against the best in class not just domestically but also regionally and beyond,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Fad’l Mohamed said the MY Value Up programme is designed to elevate the visibility and market recognition of underlying corporate performance among participating public listed companies.
“Working together with the SC and the wider market ecosystem, Bursa Malaysia will advance this effort by strengthening market signals for listed companies through clearer articulation of strategy, stronger performance discipline and deeper engagement with investors.
“Ultimately, this supports more effective price discovery and contributes to a more vibrant capital market that recognises and rewards long-term corporate value.”
Furthermore, to ensure the programme is practical and impactful, the SC and Bursa Malaysia said the engagement session will be followed by a series of technical workshops.
“This will allow participating PLCs to provide feedback that will help shape MY Value Up.
“To support the programme’s effective rollout, a guidebook outlining the expectations under MY Value Up will be released by the first half of the year.
