Across
Bursa Malaysia, we saw 1.72 billion shares traded worth RM1.81 billion. There
are 441 winners compared to the 355 losers while another 353 is unchanged.
Regionally,

In Bursa,
the top gainer is Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd while leading the decliners was
British American Tobacco (M) Bhd. The warrants of AirAsia X and RedSena
dominated the top active counters.
