For those of you who wants to know what’s going on in the Malaysia investment scene, this would be a good chance to get yourself some updates and do a little ‘shopping’. Thanks to reader Ken Ooi for the heads up!

You are ultimately responsible for your own money, and investment firms and consultants are always very eager to get you to part with your money and promise you greater returns than your fixed deposit accounts. Exercise diligence and do your homework before signing on the dotted lines. Never take more risk than you can tolerate.
