On
8th of March 2013, Sunway CPA Australia Student Charter (SCSC) organized an
industrial visit to Bursa Malaysia. This trip was catered only to VU students
of which the participants totaled up to 88 people. Much preparation was done prior the event
date by the members of SCSC Club to ensure the smoothness of the trip. On the day
itself, participants came joyfully, prepared to enjoy and learn from this
valuable experience. Most students were on time. The departure time was at 1.30
pm and the arrival time was around 2pm.

Upon arrival, the staffs of Bursa Malaysia,
welcomed us with open hands and led us to the discussion room for a briefing
session. Miss Claire enlightened the participants with information in relation
to the securities exchange and
the investing market environment. After presenting the basket of fruits as token
of appreciation to Miss Claire, a Q&A session was opened up to the
participants and was well utilized.
