KUALA LUMPUR: Genting Bhd's shares hit the limit down on Monday, prompting Bursa Malaysia to suspend the intraday short-selling (IDSS) of the stock for the rest of the day today.

As of 11.26 am, the counter fell by 30 sen or 15.97 per cent to RM1.58.

In a filing, Bursa Malaysia said the counter has been suspended for the rest of the day as the last traded price of the Approved Securities dropped more than 15 per cent or 15 sen from the reference price.

"The short selling under IDSS will only be activated tomorrow at 08:30 am," it said.
