TAP to students: Need for early financial planning
Saturday, July 26, 2008
OFFICIALS from the Employees Trust Fund (TAP) visited the Nakhoda Ragam Vocational School to deliver a talk on early financial planning to students, in a bid to increase awareness and understanding of its importance, yesterday.
The talk also emphasised the need to take responsibility in managing finances without depending on other people or any financial institutions.
About 100 students from this year's July intake attended the Financial Planning Roadshow organised by TAP.
Sri Nazrina Hj Johari, assistant manager at the Corporate Communication Department, was present to deliver an overview of the history, mission and vision as well as the role and function of TAP.
This was followed by another speaker, Hjh Suhaila Kani, Certified Financial Planner from Royal Bank of Canada, who stressed on the need for discipline on the spending habits of an individual and also provided tips on debt control.
The Employees Trust Fund was established in conjunction with His Majesty's 45th birthday celebrations on July 15, 1991.
Its purpose was to provide for the daily needs of those in the public and private sectors who have retired from working life through compulsory savings while they were still working.
This is the third visit by the TAP to the Nakhoda Ragam Vocational School since they begun the roadshow in April.
Previously they had conducted similar roadshow to Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Institute of Technology as well as several other government departments. The Brunei Times
