DETAILED GUIDELINES
The transfer of shares from Bursa Depository in Malaysia to CDP in Singapore will be carried out on a scripless basis. If you wish to trade your shares on the SGX-ST, please follow the procedures set out below:
- Please ensure that you have opened a securities account with CDP or a sub-account with a CDP depository agent before a transfer request is submitted. If you do not have a direct CDP account or a sub-account with any CDP depository agent, you should:
- contact CDP if you would like to open a direct CDP account; or
- contact a CDP depository agent if you would like to open a sub-account with a CDP depository agent.
- You (whether directly or through your CDP depository agent, as the case may be) must provide instructions to the ADA/ADM with which you have a CDS account to transfer your shares from your CDS account to the foreign omnibus account which CDP maintains with its exempt authorised nominee in Malaysia. You should check with your ADA/ADM on the documents and fees that you are required to submit to them.
- Concurrently with (ii) above, whether your shares are held in your CDS account or are held by an authorised nominee ("Authorised Nominee") in an authorised nominee or exempt authorised nominee CDS account, you (or your CDP depository agent, as the case may be) must submit the following to CDP:
- the CDP prescribed cross-border securities transfer request form; and
- the applicable fees and expenses.
In the event your Authorised Nominee maintains an omnibus account with Bursa Depository, a confirmation is required from the Authorised Nominee stating that you are the beneficial owner of the shares in that particular CDS account.
- CDP will verify the documents submitted and in the event of any discrepancy, CDP is entitled to return the relevant documents to you (or your CDP depository agent, as the case may be). If the transfer request forms and the relevant documents are in order, the ADA/ADM with which you have a CDS account will take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of shares from your CDS account to the foreign omnibus account which CDP maintains with its exempt authorised nominee in Malaysia.
- After the transfer has been effected, a notice of crediting will be issued by CDP to you (or your CDP depository agent, as the case may be). You will also receive a confirmation on the transfer of shares out of your CDS account either from Bursa Depository or the Authorised Nominee with which you maintain your CDS account.
- You should note that the transfer of shares from Bursa Depository to CDP will take at least 1 Market Day to complete. You should ensure that your shares are available in your securities accounts with CDP before you trade in the shares on the SGX-ST.
CDP holds all of its shares in a foreign omnibus account through CDP's exempt authorised nominee in Malaysia. Hence, the transfer of shares from an investor's CDS account to CDP's foreign omnibus account maintained by its exempt authorised nominee in Malaysia is regarded as an investment in foreign currency assets pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Policy Notices. Shareholders who are residents of Malaysia for the purposes of the Foreign Exchange Policy Notices and are subject to the prevailing Foreign Exchange Policy Notices in relation to investments in foreign currency assets may be required to seek the prior approval of Bank Negara Malaysia should they wish to transfer their shares from Bursa Depository to CDP for trading on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. There is no restriction for a non-resident of Malaysia (for the purpose of the Foreign Exchange Policy Notices) to subscribe for or purchase securities in Malaysia.
If you are in any doubt as to the above, you should seek further clarification from your own adviser.
