Let’s start with Financial Literacy

January 20, 2010

advertisement After the big hooha over raising credit card minimum payments and curbing of credit card issuance by the banks, and the subsequent suggestions to set up a credit bureau, this is a fresh approach by BIBD which I’m in full favour of. Bak kata pepatah, “Meluntur buluh biar dari rebungnya.” Have you ever asked [...]
