Aside from giving talks on topics related to investing in the stock market, both conventional and Shariah-compliant, they will also be facilitating the opening of CDS accounts for free. Other speakers include KPJ Healthcare Berhad and also non-profit Global Peace Foundation Malaysia, who will be exhibiting their products and services at the carnival.
Officiated by Pahang Menteri Besar, Dato’ Sri Wan Rosdy bin Wan Ismail and graced by Deputy Minister of Finance 1, Dato’ Indera Mohd Shahar Abdullah, this one-day event will have many exciting activities for all members of the public, including entertainment and family-activities such as drawing competitions and games, with prizes for participants.

“I am pleased that Bursa Malaysia is working together with Yayasan Pahang to instil good investing habits early among the rakyat,” said Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, Chairman of Bursa Malaysia. “Financial literacy is important for the entire family, as we need to be careful to invest wisely for our family’s future, and not fall prey to scams.”
Dato’ Sri Wan Rosdy bin Wan Ismail said: “I am confident that the Karnival Saham Pahang Bersama Bursa Malaysia today will bring early awareness to some of the Pahang community, especially the people in Kuantan district. I hope that the public will take this opportunity to open a CDS account offered for free, especially for the citizens of Pahang.”
