Why We Started BursaNews
BursaNews (马股报报看) is founded by two Malaysians with 10+ years each in Malaysia's capital markets, investment banking, audit, and valuation.
During our years in capital markets, we noticed the same pattern: most retail investors were making decisions based on tips and rumours, not because they lacked intelligence, but because nobody had shown them how to read the real signals.
We know how to read financial figures inside-out because it was our job. We understand the logic behind every Bursa announcement, corporate exercise, and quarterly result. And we thought: why not share that, simply, honestly, with a bit of humour?
Our Mission
To minimise the gap in financial information interpretation, and educate everyday Malaysians to see the market the way professionals do. Not by giving stock tips. By giving the knowledge to think for themselves.
(Also, because financial content is way too boring and we wanted to fix that too 😂)
Why Our Analysis Hits Different
Most finance content creators you see online hold an MR (Markets Representative) licence, the basic licence required to talk about investments publicly. We held that too. But we went a step further.
🏛️
SC Module 12 & Module 19
Securities Commission Malaysia qualifications, the same exams required to work as an investment banker in corporate finance.
📋
MR, Markets Representative
The SC-regulated licence held by most finance content creators. We held this too, it was the minimum requirement. We just didn't stop there.
🏢
IPO, M&A & Fund Raising, Actual Experience
Module 12 and 19 qualify us as investment bankers specialising in corporate finance, advising publicly listed companies on IPOs, M&A, and capital-raising exercises.
What does this mean for you? Preparing and reading Bursa announcements was literally our day job. When a listed company makes a move, a rights issue, a private placement, an acquisition, we understand the “why” behind it. Not just what the numbers say on the surface, but what the company is trying to achieve, and what's happening behind the curtain that most people on the street never get to see.
We’re not trying to brag about qualifications, plenty of qualified people produce terrible financial content. What we’re saying is: the insights in every BursaNews report come from people who have sat in those boardrooms, written those announcements, and advised on those transactions. That experience shapes how we read the market, and now we bring it to you, in plain language.
