KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI extended its gains for the third day on Friday, Oct 7 and closed above the 1,400-point level for the first time Sept 21, as the local bourse recovered to end the day in positive territory while Budget 2012 was being tabled.

Among the highlights of Budget 2012 was the announcement that FELDA Global Ventures Holding (FGVH) would be listed on Bursa Malaysia by mid-2012 to raise funds for the company to be a global conglomerate

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the listing would create another blue chip PLANTATION [] company besides attracting international investors to Bursa Malaysia.

The FBM KLCI rose 0.46% or 6.36 points to close at 1,400.05.

Gainers edged losers by 374 to 339, while 272 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 964.67 million shares valued at RM1.31 billion.

MBSB's securities were actively traded, as analysts say the company stood to benefit should there be a wage adjustment in the Budget for civil servants.
