Malaysian Airline System replaces Nestle (Malaysia) in the FTSE
Bursa Malaysia KLCI after June 2010 semi-annual review

Robustness of FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series enhanced with increase in
frequency of liquidity review
_________________________________________________
Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, 10 June 2010 – FTSE Group (“FTSE”), the award-winning global
index provider, and Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) have announced that Malaysian Airline
System will replace Nestle (Malaysia) in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI following the semi-annual
review approved by the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Advisory Committee today.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI is widely followed by investors as the benchmark for the Malaysian
market and is used as the basis for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI ETF, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI
Futures (FKLI), FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Options (OKLI) and other financial products including
warrants. The indices are reviewed semi-annually by the independent FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index
Advisory Committee to ensure compliance with a set of transparent and publically available index
rules. This is essential as the indices are used to benchmark investment portfolios and as the basis of
index-linked products.

The constituents of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series were also assessed for liquidity as part of
the June review. This follows an increase in the frequency of liquidity reviews from annually in
December to semi-annually in June and December. Increasing the frequency of liquidity reviews for
the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series provides more robust indices that better reflect the liquidity of
the investable market. It is also an important criterion for investors who expect the index constituents
to have sufficient liquidity to enable easy and efficient trading.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI reserve list, comprising the five highest ranking non-constituents of the
index by market capitalisation, will be (in order of full market capitalisation) IJM, Gamuda, Berjaya
Corp, Lafarge Malayan Cement and Parkson Holdings. Companies in the reserve list will replace
constituents that become ineligible as a result of corporate actions before the next review.

The changes to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 Index are detailed below:
                        Inclusions                                       Exclusions
 1   JCY International                                  Malaysian Airline System
 2   NCB Holdings                                       Tradewinds Plantation

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index, a tradable index of 30 stocks to be used as the basis
for international Shariah-compliant products, was also reviewed and the following changes were
approved:
                          Inclusions                                      Exclusions
 1    Axiata Group                                       Nestle (Malaysia)
 2    Malaysian Bulk Carriers                            Star Publication Malaysia
 3    Bintulu Port Holdings                              IJM Plantations
 4    Kulim Malaysia                                     Wah Seong
                                                                                                     １
