dc.description.abstract	This research paper is aimed at examining the effect of foreign ownership on the financial and market performance of the companies listed on KLSE main board during 2001 to 2006. Comparison of financial and market performance has been assessed between the foreign-owned and locally owned companies. Relationship between firm specific characteristic such as firm ownership, firm foreign ownership percentage, firm size, firm risk, firm industry type and firms' performance is examined. Data is retrieved from companies' annual report. t-statistic test and fixedeffect regression method are employed in this study. Foreign-owned firms performed better than locally-owned firms except managing expenses. The results hold even when firm specific characteristics come into place and foreign ownership is found to have statistically significant and positively impacted firms' performance. Hence, it might be practically imperative for domestic firms to adopt similar business strategy as foreign-owned firms in order to be more competitive.	en_US
