Sibu: The awareness of financial planning for retirement among Malaysians is still low due to lack of knowledge and skills, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) board member Tan Sri Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah said. It is also impeded by the 'couldn't care less attitude' among the public, he said when opening a financial planning seminar themed 'Healthy and Wealthy Life Essential' in conjunction with the 2015 the Malaysian Unit Trust Week (MSAM) organised by Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), a wholly owned subsidiary of PNB, here Sunday. Hence, he hoped the seminar could help enrich the knowledge of the local community on smart financial planning and change their attitude on the need to invest and prepare for retirement.
