SC, Bursa Malaysia Launch My Value Up Programme To Boost PLCs’ Long-term Value

KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) -- The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and Bursa Malaysia today introduced the MY Value Up Programme, a collaborative initiative to support Malaysian public-listed companies (PLCs) enhance their long‐term value creation and transform into globally attractive investment propositions.

In a joint statement, both parties said MY Value Up is aligned with the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (Masterplan), and reflects a shared commitment by the SC and Bursa Malaysia to foster a more dynamic corporate landscape.

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,” they said.

This also translates to more transparent and forward‐looking disclosures that enhance investor confidence and support informed capital‐allocation decisions.

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.

The 88 PLCs selected for the programme collectively account for 80 per cent of the market capitalisation of listed companies on Bursa Malaysia, with each having a minimum market capitalisation of approximately RM4 billion.

SC chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi stated that 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 added that ultimately, this supports more effective price discovery and contributes to a more vibrant capital market that recognises and rewards long-term corporate value.
