KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Berhad will host its flagship Bursa Marketplace Fair 2024 at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall in Kota Kinabalu on May 11-12, 2024. The fair, officiated by Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji bin Haji Noor, Chief Minister of Sabah, aims to promote financial literacy and investing opportunities offered by Bursa Malaysia. Highlights include talks, activities, and booths by the Securities Commission Malaysia and participating brokers. The event will feature presentations by Keyfield International Berhad and Optimax Holdings Berhad. Despite a large population in Sabah, only a small percentage have opened CDS accounts, highlighting untapped investor potential. Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, CEO of Bursa Malaysia, emphasizes the importance of enhancing financial literacy and increasing retail investor participation. The fair offers opportunities to explore digital tools and platforms such as Burmon Trader, Bursa Anywhere app, MyBursa, and Bursa Gold Dinar. This marks the first time the event is held in East Malaysia and is expected to draw over 2,000 attendees. The event is free and open to the public, with registration available online or on-site.
