HONG KONG, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's securities
regulator on Monday ordered a trading halt in all shares of Town
Health International Medical Group Ltd 3886.HK and China Wah
Yan Healthcare Ltd 0648.HK , without giving further details.
Shares of medical and dental services provider Town Health
have fallen 44.8 percent so far this year, while shares in
China Wah Yan have dropped 55.8 percent.
The companies said the Securities and Futures Commission
(SFC) issued the trading halt under Rule 8 of Hong Kong's
listing rules which says trade can be stopped "on grounds that
the market is misinformed, disorderly or unfair".
The SFC declined to comment. Representatives for the
companies were not immediately available for comment.
