Breaking Down The Malaysian Savings Landscape

The general consensus over the past few years, even before the pandemic, is that Malaysians generally do not save a lot. Be it because of structural issues or a lack of financial planning awareness, the issue is not to be taken lightly. In part of its journey to help Malaysians build financial resilience, PIDM has been conducting surveys and multiple engagements to help raise awareness on financial planning. Wan Ahmad Ikram Wan Ahmad Lotfi, Executive Vice President of PIDM comes on the show to share some thoughts.
