Ten students from the Islamic Finance and Economics Student Society (iFESS) at the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Finance (FEKIm), Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA) visited several locations across Malaysia as part of the ‘Malaysia EconVenture: Bridging Horizons, Empowering Future Finance & Economic Leaders’.
The group visited International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery and Bursa Malaysia. FEKim lecturer Dr Hajah Siti Nor Suriana binti Haji Abdul Talip accompanied the group. The visit was held in collaboration with the Economics and Management Sciences Association (EMSS), the Bachelor of Business Administration Association (BBAC), and the Islamic Finance Students’ Association (IFSA), IIUM.
It aimed at strengthening and deepening international relations between UNISSA and IIUM through student corporations.
Meanwhile, the visit to the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery and Bursa Malaysia also helped inspire the students to explore the fields of finance, economics, and management while also enhancing the students’ learning experiences outside the classroom.
The student body interacted with their IIUM counterparts in a sharing session. They also shared and discussed collaborative opportunities before concluding with an exchange of souvenirs.
Meanwhile, the group’s visit to Bursa Malaysia also exposed them to the function of the stock market and the importance of investment, as well as the role of Bursa Malaysia in ensuring a transparent and efficient capital market. – Daniel Lim
