Kalau semua kaki short term, X ada lagi kaki long term. Tidakkah ini akan effect public shareholding spread of the listed companies and face suspension/delisted

If I'm not mistake, when a stock is delisted, short positions are not necessarily closed immediately. Short sellers are exposed to the risk of an indefinite, high-interest stock loan until shares are cancelled.

Kuasa ditangan SC. SC kena pantau. Kalau asyik terkena, ku pun X nak main stocks direct, lebih baik labur dalam amanah saham, with big money big power huhuhu

Nor all investors are permitted to short by their broker.

It is very bad for illiquid counters/markets. Sekali satu olang atau sindiket short sell, terus junam itu counter.

Regulated short selling of prescribed stocks had previously been permitted by the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. As a result of the Asian Financial Crisis, regulated short selling ("RSS") and Securities Borrowing and Lending ("SBL") were banned from 5 September 1997. The ban on RSS was lifted in March 2006 on condition that Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("the Exchange") controls all short selling transactions.

Agree. Short-selling is not a simple thing. Plus now they have a lot of rules and restriction on short-selling.

I think the cost of borrowing the shares is not going to be cheap in Malaysia.

The example given is short sell at 25 and buy back at 20, I think such case is rare, may be normally the difference / gross profit will be around a few percent only, there won't be much net profit after deducting trading cost and the additional borrowing cost.
