In 1961, the Board system was introduced whereby two trading rooms, one each in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, were linked by telephone lines to a single market with stocks and shares listed at a single set of prices on both boards.

The Stock Exchange of Malaysia was officially formed in 64 and the following year, with the secession of Singapore from Malaysia, the common stock exchange continued to function under the name Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore (SEMS).

In 73, with the termination of currency interchangeability between Malaysia and Singapore, the SEMS was separated to The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Bhd (KLSEB) and The Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES). Malaysian companies continued to be listed on SES and vice - versa. A new company limited by guarantee, The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) took over operations of KLSEB as the stock exchange. In 94, it was renamed Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
