KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 Bursa Malaysia extended earlier losses at mid-afternoon today, due to weak investors risk appetite across the board.

The composite index was dragged down by selling in heavyweights, led by Top Glove, Petronas Chemicals, IHH Healthcare and Axiata with a combined 5.624 points.
Malaysia is in the path of a fourth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Health Ministry’s (MOH) data over the past two weeks points out that coronavirus outbreaks across the country are “unstable”, explained Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who announced the extension of the Conditional Movent Control Order (CMCO) period in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang and Kelantan from 15 till 28 April.
Troubled by the country’s rising infection rate, the minister stressed that Malaysians must comply with standard operating procedures (SOP), especially with the present Ramadan season now underway.
He added that the nationwide interstate-travel ban will still be in effect except for tourism-related activities between Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) areas.
