One-day basic financial planning course for public

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 (Bernama) – The Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC) will hold a one-day, free basic financial programme for the public this Oct 27 at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) auditorium.

It is co-organised with various financial institutions such as the Employees Provident Fund, Inland Revenue Board, Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia, Federation of Investment Managers Malaysia, Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit, and Private Pension Administrator.

The programme is recognised by the Securities Commission Malaysia as an investor educational initiative under the InvestSmart banner.

MFPC recently received an award from the Securities Commission at the InvestSmart fest 2018 for “Investor Educational Initiatives & Facilitating the Growth of Investment".

MFPC president, Michael Kok Fook On said the award reflected its efforts in elevating the importance of financial management in people's daily life.

“I believe that financial literacy should start at the earliest age in order to get positive long-term results in the near future.

“We provide various sections of the society with quality financial planning education through the various programmes that we organise as we want to ensure the populace have proper planning in finances which ultimately leads to enhanced emotional well-being,” he added.

Participants who actively take part in the upcoming programme stand to win an IPAD and an OPPO phone among various gifts.
