MESSAGE FROM THE founding chairman
Pursuing Financial Literacy For All
Personally and on behalf of the organization, I would like to say a big thank you to all my friends who have given me your trust and strong support for the formation of myLIFE.
The myLIFE initiative began when we realised many Malaysians, including young people and underprivileged groups are struggling with financial issues.
Financial illiteracy is one of the causes of continued poverty.
Low financial literacy means that one would not be able to manage their finances properly. Hence high rates of credit card defaults, money scams, bankruptcies, and other money-related stress are becoming more common among this generation and the B40 group, or the group earning the bottom 40 percent of income.
However, it must be said that wealth is not only measured by money alone, but by our shared values and ethics as well.
We believe that the most powerful social change is through mindset change and education.
Though our task is not easy, it will be meaningful and rewarding as elevating the financial literacy of this generation will give a positive impact to nation building and empowering Malaysian society.
We pledge to contribute our efforts through every efficient channel possible.
In the spirit of community and brotherhood, we welcome people from all walks of life to join us, as a member to contribute their involvement to make this world a better place.
Sincerely by,
Amy Seok
