"I enrolled in the Youth program the week after I started my first job. I genuinely did not understand how my payslip worked. After the first two sessions I already felt much more in control. The facilitator never made me feel like I should have known this already — that mattered a lot."
Amirah Nadzri
Petaling Jaya · Youth Program · March 2025
"Running a nasi lemak stall for six years and I never really knew if I was making money or just moving it around. The accounting program helped me see my actual profit for the first time. Some sessions ran a bit long for me, but the content was worth it. The bilingual handouts were genuinely useful."
Rohani Md. Yunus
Chow Kit, KL · Small Business Program · February 2025
"The inflation program is not what I expected. I thought it would feel like a university lecture but it was much more conversational. Using actual CPI data from DOSM to track how my purchasing power has changed since 2015 — that was eye-opening. I've adjusted how I think about my savings targets now."

Klang · Inflation Program · January 2025
"My PTPTN repayment was just something I kept pushing to the back of my mind. After the second session of the Youth program I understood exactly what I owed and how to manage it without panicking. The starter toolkit templates are things I still use every month."

Shah Alam · Youth Program · March 2025
"I sell handmade jewellery online and offline. Before this program I had no system — just a rough sense of whether I was breaking even. Learning to track expenses properly and understand what a P&L statement shows me has genuinely changed how I plan my stock. The software practice was harder than expected but the facilitator was patient."
Lee Wei Ling
Puchong · Small Business Program · February 2025
"I am in my 40s and have been meaning to understand inflation properly for years. The three-week format was just right — compact but not rushed. Priya is an exceptional facilitator. She managed to make the CPI numbers feel relevant to household decisions rather than just economics textbook material."

Stories in more detail
From payslip confusion to structured savings — in four weeks
Youth Financial Literacy Program · Cohort 14
The Situation
A 22-year-old fresh graduate from Selangor had just received her first payslip and did not understand the difference between gross pay, EPF deductions, and take-home pay. She had also not considered how her PTPTN loan would interact with her new income.
What She Did
She joined the Youth Financial Literacy Program. Over four weekend sessions, she worked through her actual payslip numbers with help from the facilitator, mapped out her PTPTN repayment schedule, and used the starter toolkit templates to build her first monthly budget.
30 Days Later
She had begun PTPTN repayments, set up a savings allocation of 10% of take-home pay, and reported in a follow-up survey that she felt "considerably less anxious about money" than before the program. She recommended the program to two colleagues.
A home-based baker who learned her margins for the first time
Small Business Accounting Basics · Cohort 9
The Situation
A home baker selling kuih and cakes through WhatsApp had been operating for three years. She had a sense her business was "doing okay" but had never calculated actual margins. She did not know whether her prices were covering all costs.
What She Did
She joined Small Business Accounting Basics and used the bilingual materials to work through her ingredient costs, packaging, and delivery fees for the first time. During the software session she built a basic income and expense tracker adapted to her products.
What Changed
She discovered two of her most popular items were being sold below full cost. After adjusting her pricing, her monthly net income increased. She reported that the program "paid for itself in the first month."
Rethinking retirement savings after understanding inflation properly
Inflation & Purchasing Power Education · Cohort 7
The Situation
A mid-career professional in his late 30s had a retirement savings target he had set ten years earlier without accounting for inflation. He wanted to understand whether his current savings trajectory was still adequate.
What He Did
He joined the Inflation & Purchasing Power program and worked through historical CPI data with the facilitator, applying inflation-adjusted calculations to his own retirement target. He learned to think about his savings goal in real purchasing power rather than nominal figures.
What Changed
He revised his target upward and adjusted his monthly EPF voluntary contribution accordingly. He noted that the program gave him a framework for reviewing his goal annually — something he had never considered doing before.
