What happened
Genting Bhd shares fell by 15.97 per cent to RM1.58 on Monday, prompting Bursa Malaysia to suspend intraday short-selling for the day. The price decline followed the company's announcement of a plan to raise RM1.25 billion through a rights issue. Bursa Malaysia stated the suspension was due to the stock dropping more than 15 per cent from its reference price.

Why it matters
The rights issue is intended to repay RM800 million of Genting Bhd's short-term borrowings, with the remaining funds designated for working capital. CIMB Securities maintained a 'hold' rating on the stock but anticipated a negative reaction from investors.
