IFTC Champions Join IFCCI Open Day, Strengthening Malaysia’s Financial Literacy with CSR Spirit

PETALING JAYA, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- The International Financial Consultant Certified Institute (IFCCI) welcomed winners of the International Financial Trading Championship (IFTC) to its Education Open Day, highlighting the synergy between financial education, competitive excellence, and social responsibility.
 
The IFTC was recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the nation’s largest financial trading charity competition, with the award ceremony held at AEON. More than a contest, the event was designed as a platform that combined financial literacy with corporate social responsibility (CSR). The championship featured a blood donation drive and a charity bazaar, initiatives that reflected IFCCI’s commitment to ensuring financial progress goes hand in hand with community well-being.
 
These CSR activities were carried out in collaboration with Majlis Tindakan Pengguna Negara (MTPN) and Yayasan Masyarakat Lestari Malaysia (YMLM), with AEON playing a vital role as the venue partner. The partnership demonstrated how corporate and civic organisations can work together to uplift society while fostering financial awareness.
 
Among the Open Day participants were Pui Zhi Xuan, the IFTC national champion, and Lin Xin An, who placed fifth nationally. Both are Certified Financial Trader (CFT) achievers, linking competition results to IFCCI’s broader education ecosystem, particularly its Diploma in Financial Market Analysis (DFMA). Their journeys illustrate how young talents can progress from proving their trading ability in competition to gaining structured professional education.
 
“IFTC is more than a stage for trading talent it is a reflection of values. With AEON and our partners, we showed that financial education can inspire excellence while contributing back to society,” said IFCCI President Prof. Dato’ Dr. Kingston Chang.
 
According to IFCCI, integrating IFTC with its educational programmes ensures multiple entry points for talent development, whether through competitions, academic diplomas, or professional certification. Together, these initiatives form a comprehensive pathway that strengthens Malaysia’s financial literacy and resilience against scams, while embedding CSR principles into the nation’s financial culture.
 
“With IFTC, Malaysia has demonstrated its ability to host competitions of international credibility while ensuring that financial knowledge contributes to the public good. This is how IFCCI envisions the future of financial education,” Prof. Chang concluded.
