On 3rd October 2012, an event known
as the ‘Capital Gains Game’ organized by True North Asia was held from 8.30am
to 2pm at UCSI University. There are a total of 79 candidates from Sunway who
have registered for this event. Overall it was a very satisfactory result
although there was a greater potential for us to achieve a greater amount of
candidates registering for this event.

On the event day itself, every candidates assembled at the
foyer by 8am as there will 2 bus providing all of the candidates transportation
from Sunway Campus for UCSI University. Every SCSC member who participated in
this event are in charge of taking down the attendance when the candidates
board the bus to avoid missing members. After a 40 minutes journey, the bus
have finally reached UCSI University. All of the candidates were then asked to
have a seat in UCSI’s main hall which was located in the South Wing.
The event began with a quick warm up session conducted by Jonathan Quek, the founder of True North Asia. After that at 9.30am, there was a short speech which was conducted by the representative from AKPK. The speech lasted for about half an hour. Before the game began, Mr. Jonathan Quek brief and taught us how to play this game as most of us have no knowledge about this game.
At 10am sharp, the
game began as every participant was looking very anxious because they all want
to win as there is a total of RM1,500 cash prize to be won. It was a very
intense moment as cheers of joys and sigh of disappointment can be heard from
all over the hall. Halfway through the game, there are already participants who
have successfully achieved financial freedom when the rest of the participants
are still struggling to pick the right investment technique just to avoid
facing bankruptcy. A good thing is, one of the students representing Sunway has
got 3rd place as he managed to achieve financial freedom before any
other participants did. This was a very proud moment for Sunway as we all know
that Sunway students are very intelligent people.
After the game has ended, Mr Jonathan Quek has explain to
all of the participants about the method of investing and some tips for
investment. Besides that, a very motivational talk was also conducted by the
Wall Street Academy representative. As the event draws nearer to the end, there
was a lucky draw session which gives away silver coins to lucky participants.
After that, a prize giving session was held and a promotional and appreciation
video was shown to every participant. At 1.25pm, there was a photo-taking
session for all the winners, participants, and organizing committee.
By
2pm, the whole event has ended. Every Sunway student are required to assemble
and board the bus so that all of them can be transported back to Sunway. At
3.30pm, all of us have successfully reached Sunway safely. Overall it was a
very successful event as it helps to widen our knowledge in terms of investing
and also we are able to make more new friends. There are participants who have
mentioned that they wished that there would be another similar competition like
this so that they could participate again.
Most importantly, thanks to AKPK Malaysia, AFSA of UCSI, VUBC & SCSC of Sunway University, Sunway Pyramid Ice, The wall Street Academy & SilverMalaysia.com for contributing to this huge success!
