Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for Bursa Malaysia to play a more significant role in helping local businesses scale up and move into higher-value industries, such as semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and digital technology. Anwar emphasized the need for more mid-tier companies to grow, list on the stock exchange, and become regional champions, which would lead to the creation of better-paying jobs and increased stakeholder involvement in the country's progress.
