Center for Market Education的动态

With an article for Star Biz 7, this week I came back to the topic of corporate fragmentation in Malaysia. 98% of Malaysia's firms are MSMEs, but they produce only 38% of the GDP. The new government plan to increase MSMEs access to capital markets is useful, but it will be effective only if accompanied by a change in corporate culture. Only a higher degree of consolidation can generate technical progress, social mobility and social protection. Center for Market Education

Men's economic empowerment in Malaysia. It's a topic we don't hear much about, but it needs our attention. Empowering men economically might just start with the right education. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) could be the key. TVET equips individuals with hands-on skills that are in demand. Think about it: industries need skilled workers, and TVET can fill that gap. When men enter these fields, they boost their own prospects and the economy. But it's not just about education. It's about valuing these skills with premium salaries. If skilled trades are seen as high-paying and prestigious, more men will pursue them. This change in perception can drive economic growth. Imagine a Malaysia where men are thriving in various industries, thanks to quality TVET programs and fair wages. It's a vision worth striving for. So, let's start talking about men’s economic empowerment. Let's support TVET education and advocate for better salaries. Together, we can make a difference.

Such a great fun participating in the ASEAN Investment Challenge of which organised by CGS-CIMB Securities Malaysia, and gain a transformative experience in sustainable investing. With the theme ‘Level Up Your Game’, this initiative is meant to promote learning and development among students from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore as well as Thailand in responsible investing. From its inauguration on 1st July 2023, the contest has received nearly 2800 registrations of students from higher education institutes in MIST markets. The journey was enlightening, featuring two phases: a national competition, where we broadened our horizons by conducting classroom and experiential activities on responsible investing into the real world scenario. I am honored to be among the 1,519 students from Malaysia that took part in this initiative. The national challenge, which was launched from the 7th of August2023 to the 30th September 2023, not only provided valuable insights into environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related securities but also equipped us with the skills to make informed investment decisions. This initiative by CGS-CIMB aims to empower the youth with skills and knowledge in investment for a successful career that will ultimately result to a strong capital market in Malaysia.

It's my honor to attend the SUSS Success Academy launch. It was great to hear the insights from all the experts on how universities in Southeast Asia are shaping talent and what types of skills they are focusing on developing. Many people may think that the Malaysian market is small, but in reality, no one views Malaysia merely as a market when planning global expansion. Malaysia serves as an excellent launch pad, offering high-quality, practical talent that is ideal for international growth. ??：Kiat Siong Du #TalentDevelopment #SoutheastAsia #Malaysia #GlobalExpansion #HigherEducation Wesley HuiSingapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS)SEGi University & CollegesKoh Chen Tien Capt.VerofaxITRAMAS Corporation SingaporeMalaysian Investment Development AuthorityMalaysiaEduServMinistry of Higher EducationMalaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)Huawei NetworkBioeconomy Corporation

Education planning is crucial in Malaysia for several reasons: 1. **Rising Education Costs:** - The cost of education, including tuition fees, books, and living expenses, continues to rise. Planning ensures that parents can financially support their children's education without significant strain. 2. **Diverse Education Options:** - Malaysia offers a range of educational institutions and programs. Planning allows families to explore and choose the best-suited options for their children's academic and career goals. 3. **Long-Term Financial Commitment:** - Education is a long-term financial commitment. Planning early helps distribute the financial burden over time, making it more manageable. 4. **Financial Security for Children:** - Investing in education planning provides financial security for children, enabling them to pursue higher education without compromising on quality or facing financial obstacles. 5. **Competitive Job Market:** - As the job market becomes more competitive, having a solid education becomes increasingly important. Education planning supports access to quality education, enhancing career opportunities for individuals. 6. **Globalization and Mobility:** - Education planning takes into account the potential need for international education, especially as globalization increases. It ensures that families are financially prepared for educational opportunities beyond Malaysia. 7. **Inflation Considerations:** - Inflation affects the cost of education. Planning helps account for inflation, ensuring that the funds set aside for education will be sufficient in the future. 8. **Loan and Debt Management:** - Without proper planning, families may resort to loans or debt to fund education, leading to financial stress. Planning helps minimize the reliance on loans and supports a more sustainable financial approach. 9. **Empowering Future Generations:** - Education planning empowers future generations by providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute positively to society. 10. **Cultural and Social Values:** - Education is often highly valued in Malaysian culture. Planning reflects and reinforces the importance of education as a priority within families. In essence, education planning in Malaysia is an investment in the future, ensuring that individuals have the educational opportunities they need to thrive in an evolving and competitive world. It offers financial stability and peace of mind for parents and contributes to the overall development of the nation. #tryourfavfinancialconsultant #education #malaysia #securefuture #planningahead #insurance
