Kelab MESRA and the Centre for Alumni (CFA) collaborated to host an enlightening webinar titled “Emas: Aset Masa Depan” on 10 January 2025. The session featured Ms. Nur Hilyati Mohamed Ali, who shared valuable insights into the role of gold as a strategic component of savings, shifting the narrative from viewing gold solely as an investment tool.
Ms. Nur Hilyati highlighted the versatility and significance of gold savings from various perspectives. She explained how gold could act as a “forgotten asset,” ensuring wealth is preserved without the risk of impulsive spending. By incorporating gold into savings strategies, individuals can achieve greater financial security and work towards financial independence. Gold’s ability to hold its value over time makes it an ideal vehicle for long-term savings and future-oriented goals.
Additionally, Ms. Nur Hilyati emphasised the practicality of using gold as a method to accumulate funds for religious obligations, such as Hajj or Umrah, without the risk of inflation eroding its value. Unlike fiat currencies, gold has historically been a reliable store of value, serving as a hedge against economic uncertainties and safeguarding wealth against inflation.
The interactive session provided participants with actionable knowledge on how to leverage gold as part of a diversified savings plan. It shed light on the advantages of viewing gold as a safeguard for the future, empowering attendees to make informed financial decisions. Participants left the session with a renewed perspective on wealth preservation, recognising the potential of gold to secure their financial well-being for years to come.
