On 7 June 2023, Multimedia University (MMU) its Faculty of Business (FOB) launched the i-TRD Lab which was graced by Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mazliham Mohd Su’ud, President of MMU and Pn. Azizah Mohd Yatim, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CGS-CIMB Securities Sdn. Bhd at the Melaka campus. Through this strategic partnership, MMU solidifies its position as one of the LEAD universities in promoting the ASEAN Investment Challenge (AIC) among private higher educational institutions in Malaysia.
In 2022, MMU and CGS-CIMB formalised the collaboration with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that grants our students access to stock market simulators. These simulators replicate the real stock market, allowing students to engage in the virtual buying and selling of stocks. By providing this opportunity, students can enhance their understanding of investments, refine their trading abilities, and develop effective strategies before venturing into the livestock market.
On top of that, the momentous day also witnessed the launching of the ASEAN Investment Challenge, which will run from June until July 2023. The challenge invites participants from each country to showcase their trading prowess, with the top three participants from each country advancing to the regional level. At the regional level, these participants will compete for the prestigious title of overall winner and have the chance to claim prizes worth SGD20,000. These initiatives aim to enhance trading skills, particularly in financial market practice, while also promoting the importance of financial literacy among students and the wider community.
