Bursa Halts Intraday Short Selling in Mega Fortris Again

Bursa again restricted intraday short selling in Mega Fortris after a morning price breach. The notice did not halt ordinary trading.

Kuala Lumpur, 12 November 2026 – Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad suspended intraday short selling in Mega Fortris Berhad for the rest of 12 November after the stock breached the exchange’s price threshold for a second consecutive session. The shares fell as low as 96.5 sen before trading at RM1.03 at 12.30pm Malaysia time, down 13 sen from Wednesday’s close. The exchange scheduled the facility to resume at 8.30am on 13 November.

For investors, the notice restricts one type of order; it is not a suspension of all trading in Mega Fortris shares. The stock had already moved off its morning low when the midday quote was recorded, but that did not reverse the exchange’s decision for the day. The two price points matter because the restriction was triggered earlier, not by the smaller decline shown at midday.
