He said the UUM-MFPC collaboration was demonstrated through RM 300,000 KPT-PACE grant received by UUM in 2022. With this grant, UUM successfully produced 100 students who obtained professional certificates as Registered Financial Planners.

鈥淎lthough students tend to pursue different career fields, financial planning remains crucial in life management.

鈥淐urrently, enhancing financial literacy is very important, especially to safeguard oneself from various fraudulent tactics and ensure a stable financial future,鈥� he said during the launch of SEFB 2024 Financial Planning Symposium.

He also expressed gratitude to the founder and Chief Executive Officer of YES Financial Berhad, Mr. John Chan, who contributed to the food voucher programme worth RM 2,000.00 for B40 UUM students.

鈥淗opefully, this programme offer significant benefits to all and serve as the most effective avenue for the ongoing exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences between MFPC and UUM,鈥� he added.
