Kuala Lumpur – Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank Negara Malaysia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Lions Clubs District 308 B1 Malaysia on Sept 8 in their joint efforts to enhance financial literacy levels of Malaysian society. The signing ceremony which took place recently at the Royale Chulan Hotel, was witnessed by AKPK’s Chairman, Y.

This MOU aims to strengthen ties between AKPK and Lions Clubs District 308 B1 through the “AKPK with Lions Clubs Programme”, which assists in the dissemination of information on personal financial management to target segments.

Under the programme, AKPK shall provide financial education, credit counselling and debt management services in collaboration with Lions Clubs as part of their community service which aims at creating a financially savvy society.

 

“Consumers with low levels of financial literacy tend to suffer for their financial ignorance. Therefore, AKPK’s programmes aim to educate consumers on effective personal financial management and is a pre-emptive measure to avoid over indebtedness,” she continued.

In line with the principles of good government and good citizenship, we are hopeful this synergy partnership would create greater awareness to the community to be more financially savvy through the ‘AKPK with Lions Clubs Programme”, said Lim Hoe Guan, the newly installed District Governor 308 B1 Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur: Seramai 112,188 individu dengan masalah hutang berjaya dibantu Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) melalui program pengurusan kredit sejak tahun 2006, sekali gus mengelakkan kelompok itu daripada muflis.

 

Kelompok itu sebahagian daripada keseluruhan 280,428 individu yang mendapat khidmat kaunseling AKPK hingga 31 Julai lalu.

 

Ketua Jabatan Komunikasi Korporat AKPK, Mohamad Khalil Jamaldin, berkata kebanyakan individu dibantu mengalami masalah menguruskan kewangan mereka.

 

Katanya, ada pelbagai sebab menyumbang kepada perkara itu, antaranya pengurusan kewangan lemah dan gaya hidup yang melebihi kemampuan.

 

“Majoriti yang datang mengalami masalah mengawal kewangan mereka dan AKPK membantu dengan menstrukturkan semula melalui program pengurusan kredit mengikut kemampuan kewangan pihak terbabit bagi mengelakkan mereka terjebak dalam gejala muflis.

 

“Perkhidmatan kita percuma, tidak semestinya ada masalah baru datang. AKPK beri pendidikan kewangan kepada semua pihak supaya mereka menguruskan kewangan secara berhemah, termasuk hutang,” katanya.

 

Mohamad Khalil mengulas fungsi agensi itu dalam mengekang lebih ramai individu yang diisytiharkan muflis di negara ini selepas BH melaporkan 68 individu diisytiharkan muflis setiap hari pada tahun ini.
