The Guidebook was launched by YAB Deputy Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at the Invest Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Conference 2026, in the presence of capital market leaders and industry stakeholders.

The MY Value Up programme, jointly introduced by the SC and Bursa Malaysia in April, is a structured initiative under the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030.

It aims to encourage PLCs to develop and communicate clear growth strategies, targets and capital allocation priorities. It also seeks to promote stronger investor engagement and greater board-level focus on value creation.

The Guidebook translates these principles into practical applications, providing PLCs with a common reference point - examples of key components and suggested metrics in their enhanced forward-looking disclosures.

It outlines expectations and baseline considerations for PLCs in developing and publishing their MY Value Up plan, which is voluntary but highly encouraged.

MY Value Up will be implemented through a phased approach to ensure structured and purposeful adoption.

• 2026 – Familiarisation and alignment
  Focused on building understanding, this phase emphasises engagement and dialogue with regulators, while encouraging PLCs to consciously assess their focus areas and how these can be articulated through their strategy and disclosures.
  
  SC and Bursa Malaysia will engage with the targeted PLCs for the submission of the MY Value Up Plans.
  
• 2027 – Publication and engagement
  Targeted PLCs are expected to begin publishing MY Value Up plans to the public, establishing a market-facing baseline and enabling more informed investor engagement and feedback.
