| KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC) is pleased to announce that it has received the GIFA Excellence Award for Islamic Financial Literacy 2025 at the prestigious Global Islamic Finance Awards (GIFA), held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The recognition highlights MFPC’s flagship initiative, the My Money & Me Workshop, which since its inception in 2008 has empowered Malaysians with practical financial knowledge through collaborations with regulators, statutory bodies, trade associations, industry partners, and higher learning institutions. The programme has reached diverse segments of society, reinforcing MFPC’s role as the nation’s leading advocate of professional financial planning and promoter of financial literacy. The award was presented during the 15th GIFA Awards Ceremony, graced by YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, alongside global leaders, ministers, and central bank governors. HOT “This award affirms our unwavering commitment to raising financial literacy and advancing Shariah wealth management awareness, not just in Malaysia but across the region. We dedicate this achievement to our members, collaborators, and stakeholders who share our vision of elevating financial wellbeing,” said MFPC President, Andy Ng Yen Heng. Since its establishment, MFPC has played a pivotal role in professionalising financial planning through its Registered Financial Planner (RFP) and Shariah RFP programmes. At the same time, it has spearheaded nationwide financial literacy initiatives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 agenda. MFPC is the National Chapter of the UNESCO Entrepreneurship Education Network (EE-Net) from 2024 to 2027. Therefore, this global recognition from GIFA further strengthens MFPC’s mission to position Malaysia as a global leader in financial literacy and professional financial planning education on the world stage. |
