On the 30th of May, we reached the Securities Commission, Mount Kiara around 7:30am. Although we felt exhausted but the spirit in us was burning. We were here to participate in the Malaysia Future Leadership – Business Challenge Grand Finale organized by CIMB. Ms Chaw , our Finance Club advisor and Billy, Vice President of Finance Club came to support us. Ms Chaw is the source of motivation for all of us. Today, we would be tested on our general business knowledge, the understanding of CIMB Bank and information and news from Wall Street Journal.
We went in the contest against other colleges. We learned from them as they learned from us as well. Knowledge exchange is an important part of every competition as we learn the strength and weakness of our opponents and so our strength and weakness. As the competition went on, we witnessed a group of very outstanding and obvious talented contestants from Sunway College as they were leading far in front of the other team in the final round. As a participant, I believe there were more strategies that could be applied during the last round. In the final round, the contestant could invest any amount of investment money they have for every question. The contestants could try to answer every question and dominate the competition by either invest small sum or all their money.
We learned a lot from this Future Leadership program especially the speech and the Q & A session by Dato’ Sri Nazir Razak. He shared his views and insight with us. He said that the most important trait in a person’s career path is integrity. Integrity is very important to him. He advised all participants to work hard and seek for opportunity.. Overall, it is a fun and great experience competition. Thank you the pom pom squad, our most beloved Miss Chaw and the participants.
