It was about thinking out of a box. And it was about teaching corporate social responsibility (CSR) from a different perspective.

In a SIDREC-led awareness initiative in collaboration with sponsors Bursa Malaysia, PPA Malaysia and KDU University College, the undergraduate CSR course was taken to another level.

The coursework culminated in a competition where students presented a promotional campaign proposal and a video to increase public awareness on the importance of saving and investment. The winning team took away RM9,000 worth of prizes contributed by the sponsors! Students also learned a thing or two about the capital market ecosystem, the availability of a redress avenue to resolve their issues with market intermediaries as well as the importance of financial and retirement planning.

Driving Financial Literacy in the Classroom

The Securities Industry Dispute Resolution Center (SIDREC), in collaboration with Bursa Malaysia, the Private Pension Administrator (PPA) Malaysia and UOW Malaysia KDU, recently completed the second instalment of a pilot project aimed at increasing the capital market and financial literacy of students through the undergraduate programme’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) course. The objectives of this initiative were achieved through not just classroom lectures and tutorials, but also the creative use of digital media and the incorporation of out-of-the-box marketing and promotional strategies in a competition towards the end of the course.
