Dual class shares: another really bad idea (3)

Bursa announced the following rather terse media release:


There have been some misleading reports of late which have caused confusion on Bursa Malaysia’s position on the listing of dual class shares. Bursa Malaysia’s position has been misunderstood and taken out of context. We wish to inform that presently, we have no plan to facilitate the listing of dual class shares. In Bursa Malaysia’s pursuit to remain attractive and competitive, we are committed to uphold market integrity and ensure sound investor protection in all our market development initiatives.


One could deduct (although it is not written explicitedly) that facilitating dual shares might help Bursa to remain attractive and competitive, but would weaken market integrity and investor protection.
