FISCA and financial literacy talks

Here is a message sent by a FISCA member to his friends. I like to ask you to send this message to our friends also, and encourage them to join FISCA and attend the educational talks.


Dear
On the 26 March, I just attend a talk by Mr. Tan Kin Lian (a qualified actuary and was the CEO of a large life & general insurance company) entitled "Insuring Your Financial Security (Consumer Guide to Insurance) "

Mr. Tan is a sincere and knowledgeable gentleman who is well versed in insurance products and also overall financial planning due to his previous work. I have benefited so much from his talk and reading his books. 
His workshops (and books) are developed such that it is easily understood by the lay-person, 

I have both his books

(1) Practical guide on financial planning
(2) Get Value from your life insurance

Please also consider joining http://www.fisca.sg/ as a member for $36 per annum. FISCA is a non-profit org. and its objective is to improve financial literacy among Singaporeans. (unlike many "free" seminar where one is expected to buy a stock trading software at the end of the talk) As a FISCA member, one get to attend useful talks at a discounted rate of $20 compared to non-members $30.


This is taken from FISCA website:

"FiSCA is committed to being an unbiased, up-to-date financial site with quality articles and advice to help improve financial literacy among Singapore consumers. Being a non-profit driven organization, FiSCA does not solicit sponsorship from commercial companies such as banks, nor do we get revenue through online advertising. We aim to be considered an objective and knowledgeable third party in financial-related issues, in order to provide quality, un-biased information on financial education to the general public. "
