Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MALAYSIA'S benchmark KLSE index recouped almost all of Tuesday's 13 per cent loss, ending up 12 per cent at 294.59 as investors covered short-stock positions amid the confusion over the introduction of foreign exchange and capital controls.
The stock exchange said the new rules did not impose a one-year moratorium on share sales, but proceeds from such sales would have to be kept in Malaysia for at least a year. The central bank said it had fixed the ringgit indefinitely at 3.80 to the dollar.
