Below is an excert of my opening speech:


"Good morning ladies and gentlemen.


Welcome to this event organized by Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia with collaboration with MASB. Personally and well as on behalf of the company, I would to extent my appreciation to each and every one of you for being here today.


BPA Malaysia is a creature of regulation. We are under the securities commission under the Bond Pricing Agency Guidelines. When we were established back in 2004, it took 2 full years before we were recognized by the SC as a BPA after stringent assessment of our systems, methods and people. The authorities even allowed the industry affected by the BPA concept to have a say on us.


Although we passed this rite of passage, I always remind myself and my team not to be complacent. We have never taken this stamp of approval by SC for granted. Instead, our corporate tune has always been on winning trust. Since establishment, we have always engaged all the stakeholders to not only bring our massage across but also to listen to comments, suggestions and criticism. We would like to work with everyone and see whether we can help make their work easier."
