Weekends and holidays
The share market is closed Saturday and Sunday. It also closes on Malaysian public holidays that Bursa Malaysia marks on its trading calendar. Those dates change each year, so a normal weekday can still be a holiday.
Malaysia does not use daylight saving time, so these clock times do not shift in summer.
Shares, not forex
This page is the stock exchange timetable for Bursa Malaysia equities. Spot forex in Malaysia runs almost 24 hours on weekdays and does not stop for the Bursa lunch break.
For currency sessions in the same timezone, see forex market hours in Malaysia. Derivative contracts on Bursa can use a different schedule from cash equities.
