A rollover is when a position is extended beyond the end of the trading day without settment.

RakuMargin account holders are charged a flat rate of 0.5% on the principal buy outstanding amount on the expiry of each rollover period.

For example, if you have outstanding purchases with amount of RM10,000, the rollover fee will be RM50.00.

No. The stamp duty is only exempted for trading in Small & Mid Cap shares.

A stamp duty is a required tax placed on legal documents, usually in the transfer of assets. It is chargeable on transactions through Bursa Malaysia at RM1 per RM1,000 share value to a maximum of RM200.

The stamp duty fee exemption benefits investors as it reduces the total fees that are charged which is determined based on the transaction value.

 Other than the brokerage fee, you must pay a clearing fee of 0.03% on your transaction value (up to a maximum of RM1,000) which currently cannot be waived.

It will be reflected in your trade statement where all charges billed are itemised.

There is a predefined list of shares set by Bursa Malaysia that will change annually as it is based on recorded market capitalisation of the previous year.

 The stamp duty exemption is ONLY applicable for the buying and selling activities made on Small and Mid Cap shares.

Please be informed that we are not the right person to advice you on Income tax-related inquiry. This inquiry can only be answered by the LHDN as the declaration of income tax is beyond our jurisdiction.

However, this time frame may be extended at SIDREC’s discretion depending on the complexity of the disputes, the level of cooperation extended by the parties, any logistical impediments involving any of the parties etc. 

·         SIDREC bertekad menyelesaikan semua tuntutan dalam masa 90 hari bekerja dari tarikh penerimaan kesemua dokumen berkaitan. Walau bagaimanapun, tempoh masa ini boleh dilanjutkan atas budi bicara SIDREC bergantung kepada kerumitan pertikaian tersebut, tahap kerjasama yang diberikan oleh pihak-pihak terlibat, sebarang halangan logistik melibatkan pihak yang terbabit dll.

·         Upon receipt of a claim/complaint, SIDREC will first assess its eligibility, followed by an assessment on the merit of the claim.  During the merit assessment, SIDREC may dismiss your claim/complaint if, for example, it is found to be clearly unsustainable against the Member concerned, or if the claim is frivolous and vexatious. If your claim passes the initial assessment, the matter proceeds to mediation, where SIDREC’s mediator will try to help parties reach a resolution to the dispute. If parties fail to reach an agreement through mediation, the matter will then proceed to adjudication, during which SIDREC’s adjudicator will conduct a hearing of the matter and issue a decision.

·         Selepas menerima tuntutan/aduan, SIDREC akan bermula dengan menilai kelayakan tuntutan, diikuti dengan penilaian terhadap merit tuntutan tersebut. Semasa penilaian merit, SIDREC mungkin menolak tuntutan/aduan anda sekiranya, sebagai contoh, ia tidak mempunyai asas yang kukuh atau jika tuntutan tersebut sekadar main-main atau untuk tujuan menyusahkan sahaja. Jika tuntutan anda lulus penilaian kelayakan awal, ia akan dibawa ke proses pengantaraan, di mana pengantara SIDREC akan cuba membantu pihak-pihak terlibat untuk mencapai penyelesaian bagi pertikaian mereka. Sekiranya pihak-pihak terlibat gagal mencapai penyelesaian melalui pengantaraan, perkara tersebut akan dibawa ke pengadilan, di mana SIDREC akan mengendalikan Pendengaran bagi pertikaian tersebut dan seterusnya memberikan keputusan Pengadilan.

·         Mediation is an effective way of resolving disputes without the need to go to court. It involves a mediator who is an independent third party. The mediator’s role is to help the parties communicate and reach an agreement and outcome that is acceptable to both parties. Mediation meetings are very practical and common sense in approach. The mediation process is confidential and the discussions will not be disclosed to any party outside of SIDREC’s dispute resolution process.

·         Pengantaraan ialah cara efektif untuk menyelesaikan pertikaian tanpa perlu ke mahkamah. Ia melibatkan pengantara yang merupakan pihak ketiga yang berkecuali. Peranan pengantara ialah untuk membantu pihak terlibat berbincang serta mencapai persetujuan yang boleh diterima baik oleh kedua-dua belah pihak. Mesyuarat pengantaraan menggunakan pendekatan yang praktikal dan berlandaskan logik. Proses pengantaraan adalah sulit dan perbincangan tidak akan didedahkan kepada mana-mana pihak yang tidak terlibat dalam proses penyelesaian pertikaian SIDREC.

·         Adjudication is a hearing of a dispute that results in a decision on the dispute. Unless the Claimant withdraws, disputes involving claims not exceeding RM250,000 will proceed to adjudication if mediation fails. In the adjudication process both parties will be given an opportunity to present any evidence (including the calling of witnesses) to support their case; seek clarification from the other parties or their witnesses and submit on their respective cases. The Adjudicator may also seek further clarification and documents from the parties or their witnesses.  After taking into account the evidence presented, facts involved, conduct of parties, relevant rules and laws, best industry practices, and SIDREC’s precedents, the Adjudicator will come to a decision, applying the principle of what is fair and reasonable in the circumstances.

·         Pengadilan ialah pendengaran bagi sesuatu pertikaian untuk mencapai keputusan tentang pertikaian tersebut. Pengadilan akan dilaksanakan bagi pertikaian yang melibatkan tuntutan tidak melebihi RM250,000 sekiranya proses pengantaraan gagal, kecuali jika Pihak Penuntut menarik diri. Dalam proses pengadilan, kedua-dua pihak akan diberikan peluang untuk membentangkan sebarang bukti (termasuk memanggil saksi) untuk membantu kes mereka; meminta penjelasan daripada pihak yang berkenaan atau saksi mereka; dan memberi hujahan mengenai kes masing-masing. Pengadil juga mungkin akan meminta penjelasan lanjut dan dokumen daripada pihak-pihak terlibat atau saksi mereka. Selepas mengambil kira bukti yang dikemukakan, fakta yang berkaitan kes, perlakuan kedua-dua pihak, peraturan dan undang-undang berkaitan, amalan industri terbaik, dan kes terdahulu SIDREC, Pengadil akan membuat keputusan berpandukan apa yang adil dan berpatutan dalam situasi tersebut.

·         SIDREC’s decision is binding only on the SIDREC Member. If you are unhappy with SIDREC’s decision, you are free to explore other avenues to resolve your complaint. However, if you accept the decision, you would then enter into a settlement agreement with the SIDREC Member, that reflects SIDREC’s decision and this will then be binding on both parties. Please see SIDREC’s Terms of Reference (TOR) or contact SIDREC for more details on their process.
