KUALA LUMPUR (April 24): Bursa Malaysia opened higher on Wednesday, tracking Wall Street's upbeat overnight performance, as confidence was buoyed by a spate of solid corporate earnings that many see as a precursor of those from the mega caps which will be reported over the next few days, said an analyst.
