Kuala Lumpur: Bursa Malaysia Bhd has issued a public consultation paper to seek public feedback on the proposal to simplify the requirements on the opening of trading and securities accounts for individual investors."This is expected to provide a degree of flexibility to participating organisations and authorised depository agents of the exchange," the local bourse said in a statement Monday.

Currently, an individual seeking to open both a trading and securities account is required to be present in person before the participating organisations/authorised depository agents submit the account opening documents or to sign the account opening documents before an acceptable witness such as a notary public or a commissioner for oaths.

Bursa Malaysia said it proposed the requirement to simplify this process for the individual investors and provide the flexibility to the participating organisations and authorised depository agents.

"All they have to do is to complete and sign the account opening form and submit the same to the participating organisations and authorised depository agents together with the relevant supporting documents, in hard or soft copy," it said.

The consultation paper is available on www.bursamalaysia.com. -Bernama
