Malaysia Airlines shares suspended

LONDON. KAZINFORM Trading in shares in Malaysia Airlines has been suspended on the request of state investment firm Khazanah Nasional, its biggest shareholder.

The suspension is "in relation to a material corporate exercise involving the company", the stock exchange said.

The airline has been hurt by two major tragedies - the the crash of flight MH17 in Ukraine and disappearance of flight MH370 - in recent months, BBC News reports.

There has been growing speculation that Khazanah may look to delist the firm.
