PETALING JAYA: The introduction of a capital gains tax (CGT) on listed shares would have a devastating impact on the Malaysian stock market, said Rakuten Trade today.

The online equity broker’s research head Kenny Yee said now is not the time for such a tax. Instead, it is time to attract funds and make it easier for foreigners to do business in Malaysia.

He said when the going gets good, the authorities tend to implement measures such as taxes that “make foreigners shun away from our local market”.
