All the other indices remain in the negative territory, with the Construction Index experiencing the biggest drop of 10.43% or 17.18 points.

The most active stocks on the local bourse include Vortex Consolidated Bhd, Sapura Energy Bhd and My EG Services Bhd. Top losers were Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd and PPB Group Bhd.
