MSCI BLUNDER NUDUH BAD ACTORS?? KETAHUAN BELI SAHAM YG DIANGGAP MANIPULATIF!

Summary

The presenter argues that MSCI’s reference to “bad actors” in Indonesia is misleading and does not justify considering the country for stand-alone market status. They contend that concentrated ownership, coordinated trading, and manipulative practices also occur in the United States and Singapore, yet those markets are not treated the same way.

The presenter cites several examples:

• Concentrated ownership and shell companies: They say opaque ownership structures exist in the United States, including Delaware, and in Singapore.
• Coordinated trading: They point to the GameStop episode, in which retail traders coordinated through Reddit during the COVID period, and a 2013 Singapore penny-stock case that they say cost about S$8 billion and disrupted market liquidity for years. The company names are transcribed as “Blueonton Asia SS” and “Lion Hold,” possibly referring to Blumont, Asiasons, and LionGold.
• Spoofing and high-frequency trading: They allege that order cancellations and high-frequency trading can be used manipulatively in the United States, and that some cases have resulted only in administrative sanctions.

The presenter attributes MSCI’s alleged difference in treatment to the potential consequences of downgrading larger markets, including substantial passive-fund outflows and legal or political repercussions. They claim a downgrade could cost Indonesia as much as US$30 billion, but provide no calculation or supporting methodology.

As evidence, they cite trading data for an unspecified 16th–20th period, saying JPMorgan was the largest net buyer, followed by other foreign brokerages. They also claim foreign firms bought Indonesian stocks they characterize as high-risk or “cholesterol-rich,” including one stock sanctioned by OJK. The stock and year are not identified. The presenter interprets this activity as evidence that the “bad actors” rationale is a pretext to buy Indonesian assets at lower prices. These are the presenter’s claims and have not been independently verified.
