KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 - Bursa Malaysia, the country's stock exchange, cannot rely on government-linked investment companies (GLICs) forever, experts warned. Details not yet available on specific alternatives or timelines for reducing dependence on GLICs. The warning highlights the need for Bursa to diversify its investor base and reduce its reliance on a single group of investors.

The warning matters for Malaysia as a diversified investor base is for the long-term stability and growth of the stock market. A reliance on GLICs may expose Bursa to risks associated with government policies and funding. Details not yet available on potential measures to be taken by Bursa or the government to address this issue. The warning comes as Malaysia's stock market continues to evolve and attract international investors.
