KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC) and the Asian Institute of Insurance (Aii) formalised a strategic Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) today at Royale Chulan Damansara, in conjunction with the final day of the Premier RFP Capstone Programme 2025. The ceremony, witnessed by MFPC National Council Members, programme trainers, participants, and the MFPC Secretariat, highlighted the shared commitment of both organisations to advance financial planning professionalism and foster regional collaboration.
The MoA signing, held during the programme’s luncheon, added meaningful significance to the Premier Capstone Programme, an MFPC’s annual flagship initiative that alternates each y ear between the RFP and Shariah RFP designations. This intensive five-day fast-track pathway is tailored for C-suite leaders, delivering internationally benchmarked training that enhances financial planning expertise, strengthens organisational competitiveness, and expands Malaysia’s pool of qualified financial planners. Endorsed with Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours by institutions such as the Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA), the Federation of Investment Managers Malaysia (FiMM), and the Life Insurance Association of Malaysia (LIAM), as well as Continuing Professional Education (CPE) points from the Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC), the programme reflects its strong industry recognition and relevance.
The event began with a welcoming remark by Ms Chung Kar Yin, Executive Director of the Secretariat, followed by addresses from Mr Andy Ng Yen Heng, President of MFPC, and Mr Paul Low Hong Ceong, CEO of Aii. Both leaders then formalised the collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), marking a significant milestone in financial planning education.
The partnership seeks to promote and deliver the Registered Financial Planner (RFP) and Shariah RFP programmes to a wider audience, while expanding regional opportunities in ASEAN and China. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 agenda, the collaboration underscores both organisations’ commitment to advancing human capital development, enhancing professional standards, and equipping practitioners with the expertise and ethics needed to navigate a dynamic financial landscape.
This alliance reaffirms both organisations' shared vision of equipping professionals with the expertise, ethics, and global perspective to navigate an evolving financial landscape.
