Capital Gains Game Competition… The game that makes you richer… literally
Date: October 3, 2012
Venue: MPH
Time: 8pm – 2pm
Capital Gains Game Competition (CGGC) is a successful collaboration between AFSA and True North Asia Sdn Bhd. The goal of bringing this event to UCSI University was to educate our students on investment as well as to increase their financial literacy. One of the major sponsors was from Agensi Kauseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) and The Wall Street Academy. Besides, we had many participants of greater diversities from other universities and colleges who joined the crowd and made the event more merrier- Universiti Malaya, Sunway College, UTAR, and Taylors University.
Now let me take you back to the start of October and reveal the exciting moments…
As the clock hits 8:00am, you can see the crowd is getting bigger as the CGGC participants are coming in to join the fun.

Around 9:15am, Mr Jonathan Quek hits the stage
and led the crowd on a simple and fun ice-breaking session. During this session, the
participants need to get up from their cozy seat and move around shaking hands
with strangers and they must tell their “newly-met friends” some
encouraging and motivating words to inspire each other.

At 9:20am, we are honored to invite Mr. Khalil from Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK)
to teach the young generation on how to manage their money and budget. Financial
literacy is definitely something important that was not widely taught in class
and we should learn so that we will not overspend our money in this world full of
temptation.

I would like to thank my team who showed so much professionalism as well their goofy side when we are running this event, this includes all the photographers and facilitators. This event will not be the same without anyone of you. I would like to thank the co-organizer True North Asia Sdn Bhd for being 110% with us when we are preparing for CGGC, I truly hope we can work together again in the future and make something even bigger! I also want to thank the participants for joining us and supporting AFSA all along and I truly hope at the end of the day, they do leave the hall with a valuable lesson that benefits them in the future. And last but not least, I want to thank AFSA central committees for giving us advices and helping outwhen we run this event.
