Highlights of Karnival Saham Perlis
Themed “Invest Today for A Sustainable Future”, the investment fair will feature educational and investment talks on topics relating to effective financial planning and wealth creation. This is to encourage the public to start investing in the stock market early, responsibly, and with confidence. In addition to learning about investment strategies, attendees will gain knowledge on how to identify fraudulent schemes to safeguard their savings, and how to make informed investment decisions.
The event will feature 11 booths, from organisations such as the Securities Commission Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia, and various agencies from the financial industry. Participating brokers will also be present to showcase their products and services, and to assist with free on-site CDS account openings. Attendees can also enjoy a variety of fun activities, including buskers, clown show, children’s drawing and colouring competitions, and food trucks.
The investment fair marks the first time the Exchange’s investor education event is being held in Perlis. Previous recent editions of Karnival Saham Bersama Bursa Malaysia were held in Pahang (2022), and Terengganu (2023).
The event is expected to attract over 1,000 visitors. The investment fair is free to attend, and will run from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, with exciting giveaway prizes awaiting attendees. Registration is available online at https://form.evenesis.com/KSP2024 and on-site at the event.
