KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) will once again host Minggu Saham Digital (MSD) with the theme #LaburBersama from November 17 to November 23 after a successful inaugural run in 2020.
During the pre-launch of MSD 2021 today, PNB announced its line-up of corporate partners in the three categories of Rakan Premier, Rakan Utama and Rakan.
PNB president and group chief executive (CEO) Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn said its focus on creating value and generating long-term sustainable returns for unit holders had gone hand in hand with its commitment to raise financial literacy standards and empowering Malaysians to make better financial decisions for their future.
"With the same goal as its predecessor Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia, MSD remains as PNB's integrated financial literacy platform to achieve this aim," he said.
Also present at the event were the corporate leaders representing the partners in the Rakan Premier category.
They were Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) group president and CEO Datuk Abdul Farid Alias, Sime Darby Plantation Bhd group managing director Mohamad Helmy Othman Basha and UMW Holdings Bhd president and group CEO Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali.
MSD is an evolution from Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) which had been held physically for two decades from 2000 until 2019.
The digital event is now accessible to a much wider audience throughout the country from the comfort of their own homes and at the touch of their fingertips.
MSD 2021 will be broadcasted daily between 12.30pm and 10.00pm from November 17 to November 23, 2021 through its official Facebook page and YouTube channel.
It will feature over 70 edutainment programmes, and intriguing conversations in a series of talk shows and webinars by subject matter experts, key industry players, personalities and celebrities.
The launch ceremony of MSD 2021 is scheduled for November 18 (the second day of MSD 2021) at 1.00pm via live streaming at the official Facebook and YouTube of Minggu Saham Digital.
