Could it be a non-shariah counter?

Looking at its core business, entertainment-related, I think it most likely to be the one. Just my wild guess.

Was it Shariah Compliant?
Couldn't find under the "List of Shariah-Compliant Securities" endorsed by the "Majlis Penasihat Syariah" of SC.
That means, it was a non-shariah counter.
Reference:
31 May 2010. http://www.sc.com.my/eng/html/icm/sas/sc_s...iant_100531.pdf
30 Nov 2009. http://www.sc.com.my/eng/html/icm/sas/sc_s...ahcompliant.pdf
29 May 2009. http://www.sc.com.my/eng/html/icm/sas/sc_s...iant_090529.pdf

Based on this, I think the re-listing ASTRO most likely to be a non-shariah counter also.

So, for those who make investment based on shariah principle, please seek for further info and confirm its shariah status before jumping in.

Selamat berpuasa.

General guidelines for shariah compliant counters, quoted from the document "List of Shariah-Compliant Securities" of "Majlis Penasihat Shariah" of SC.

CODE

The SAC has applied a standard criterion in focusing on the activities of the companies
listed on Bursa Malaysia. As such, subject to certain conditions, companies whose
activities are not contrary to the Shariah principles will be classified as Shariah-compliant
securities. On the other hand, companies will be classified as Shariah non-compliant
securities if they are involved in the following core activities:

(a) Financial services based on riba (interest);
(b) Gambling and gaming;
(c) Manufacture or sale of non-halal products or related products;
(d) Conventional insurance;
(e) Entertainment activities that are non-permissible according to Shariah;
(f) Manufacture or sale of tobacco-based products or related products;
(g) Stockbroking or share trading in Shariah non-compliant securities; and
(h) Other activities deemed non-permissible according to Shariah.


I think ASTRO falls under the category (e).

It's not a matter of fussy or not. It's about responsibility of a muslim. I highlighted this matter only to remind my muslim friends. You don't have to worry about this shariah matter, as it is not applicable to you.

btw guys, what happen if our muslim friends buy a non-syariah stock. the money wont go into their bank account?

The money still goes to their bank account. However, it's their responsibility to dispose the profit for charity. They should only take their original capital. What if they don't dispose the profit? Well, this is all about how they practice Islam.
