Purpose

The Malaysian foreign exchange market is an emerging market that has been continuously developing in recent years. With the rapid growth of the local economy and the gradual opening of financial markets, the importance of foreign exchange trading in Malaysia has become increasingly prominent. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in the region, an on-site inspection team visited Malaysia for field research.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker GCFX in Malaysia as planned. According to public information, its office address is Unit Level 12F (1), Main Office Tower, Financial Park, Jalan Merdeka, 87000 Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously safeguard investors' interests, meticulously planned and traveled to Malaysia to conduct an on-site verification of the dealer GCFX, which claims to be located at Unit Level 12F (1), Main Office Tower, Financial Park, Jalan Merdeka, 87000 Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia.

The inspection personnel successfully arrived at the Financial Center building, located in the most central area of Labuan Island, surrounded by a bustling environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. This building is considered very luxurious locally, but no GCFX company logo or related information was found on the exterior of the building.

The surveyor entered the building lobby, explained their purpose to the security personnel, and obtained entry permission after communication. However, the directory machine in the hallway displayed only a few lines at a time and changed very slowly, making it impossible to take photos or stay for an extended period. There were four or five security guards at the front desk on the first floor, who also prohibited taking photos inside the building.

Due to this situation, the field investigator was unable to reach the target floor 12F and thus could not confirm whether there were clear signs or security measures in the GCFX office area. Since access to the specific floor was not possible, the investigator could not enter the company premises, take photos of the reception area or its logo, and confirmed that the office is not a shared workspace.

Through the lobby area, it is impossible to observe the internal environment, decoration style, and employee activities of the company due to the lack of further information. Therefore, it is also impossible to determine whether the overall environment aligns with its claimed positioning.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it is confirmed that the dealer GCFX does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

As planned, the field investigator visited the forex broker GCFX in Malaysia. However, no information such as the broker's company name was found at its publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine operational premises. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
