Bursa Malaysia ended lower after snapping a seven-day winning streak due to profit-taking activities in $Bursa Utilities (0065I.MY)$, $Bursa Energy (0061I.MY)$, and $Bursa Technology (0005I.MY)$ stocks. The market saw a downturn as investors locked in profits following a period of consistent gains.
