Last update: 25/11/2021

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 -- Bursa Malaysia ended lower on Thursday with the benchmark index below the 1,520-mark amid weak sentiment.      

At 5 pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) declined 4.67 points to finish at 1,517.60 from 1,522.27 yesterday. 

The index opened 1.95 points weaker at 1,520.32 and moved between 1,515.43 and 1,523.16 throughout the day.
