(Kuala Lumpur 22/3/2021): 7️⃣unlicensed "stock gurus" have been slapped with cease and desist orders by the Securities Commission (SC) as the capital market regulator tries to clamp down on illegal investment advice.
The regulator said the cease-and-desist orders were issued following the SC’s findings that the operators had been carrying out the business of advising others concerning securities or derivatives, including providing stock recommendations upon payment of a fee.
