CIMB Bank Bhd and CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd, in collaboration with CIMB Foundation, have partnered with the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) to deliver a comprehensive financial inclusion programme aimed at empowering Top Glove Corporation Bhd employees to take charge of their financial well-being.

This strategic collaboration, which provides practical tools and resources to Top Glove employees to make informed financial decisions, covers key areas including personal cashflow management, debt management, financial planning, protection and the prevention of financial scams.

CIMB Foundation Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Shahriman Mohd Shariff said by equipping participants with these essential skills, participants can foster greater financial resilience and knowledge, contributing to the overall financial well-being of Malaysia's workforce.

"Through simple, accessible financial education and practical tools, we strive to empower Malaysians with the right knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions.

"Together with AKPK, we are pleased to provide personalised and tailored guidance for employees at Top Glove to navigate complex financial decisions, from managing debt to retirement planning," Ahmad Shahriman said, adding that the initiative also aligned with the government's call on financial institutions to enhance public awareness and promote essential financial understanding across the nation.

Meanwhile, Top Glove Managing Director Lim Cheong Guan said the programme will significantly benefit its staff in making well-rounded financial decisions, enhancing their financial standing and fostering long-term security for them and their families.
