Bursa Malaysia Edges Higher At Midday On Bargain Hunting, Strong Trade Data
Bursa Malaysia ended the morning session higher as bargain hunting emerged following upbeat domestic economic data, offsetting softer regional market sentiment. At 12.30pm, the FBM KLCI gained 4.22 points, or 0.27%, to 1,553.33 from Aug 7's close of 1,549.11, after trading between 1,546.41 and 1,554.27. Turnover stood at 1.46 billion shares worth RM959.61 million. Market breadth, however, was negative, with 503 decliners outnumbering 293 gainers, while 438 counters were unchanged. Earlier today, the Department of Statistics Malaysia reported that wholesale and retail trade rose 4.8% year-on-year in June 2025 to RM153 billion, driven by robust performances in both sub-sectors. Despite the good news, heavyweights saw mild gains, with CIMB up seven sen to RM6.85, Public Bank adding four sen to RM4.33, TNB rising two sen to RM13.78, and Maybank and IHH Healthcare inching up one sen each to RM9.64 and RM6.96 respectively. By sector, the Financial Services Index jumped 88.25 points to 17,582.71, the Plantation Index climbed 57.58 points to 7,406.32, and the Energy Index edged up 0.93 of a point to 735.61, while the Industrial Products and Services Index dipped 0.4 of a point to 157.62.

HTAN additional block 90% complete, set for February 2026 opening
KUALA PILAH: The construction of an additional block at Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital (HTAN), previously stalled due to pandemic disruptions, is now nearing completion. With over 90 per cent of work finished, the project is expected to be fully operational by February 2026. Originally slated for completion in August 2024, the RM153 million project faced delays primarily due to labour shortages during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan, a member of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Health, confirmed the revised timeline after a site visit. 'The contractor acknowledged delays exceeding 90 days last year, mainly because workers could not return after the MCO,' said Adnan, who is also Kuala Pilah's MP. The addition of an Infectious Diseases Ward further extended the timeline. Spanning 1.7 hectares, the six-storey block will add 144 beds, increasing HTAN's total capacity to 458. The facility will house upgraded departments to enhance healthcare services for local residents. Adnan urged the Health Ministry to expedite staffing preparations to ensure seamless operations post-completion. - Bernama
