"The market has been climbing and generally on an upward bias," Pong Teng Siew, head of research at MIMB Investment Bank, said. National utility Tenaga was up 0.10 ringgit at 11.60, while the country's largest banking group Maybank was flat at 12.40.
Telekom Malaysia gained 0.20 ringgit to 10.60, after its 49 percent-owned Indian affiliate Spice Communications Ltd said it has received the necessary approvals for a listing of its shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
