00:00 The key thing is get back to purpose.

00:05 Our focus is the purpose.

00:06 Seamless experience.

00:09 Ability to access education.

00:12 You would have heard me often talk

00:15 about the informed investor, education.

00:18 We don't want, I mean, the proliferation of scams.

00:22 So the idea, if you like, is to make the ability

00:27 to access information available.

00:31 Number two is to make that seamless.

00:34 And number three, that call to action, if you like,

00:36 should the investor wish to invest, also seamless.

00:40 And that's the key of the sandbox.

00:41 So it's gonna be a user experience focus

00:45 while ensuring that we comply with all necessary regulations.

00:49 So there's little point launching a product

00:53 that doesn't excite the market.

00:55 It needs to be an experience that is seamless and easy.

01:00 Because as we know, that's what investors' expectations are.

01:04 We have a track record of bringing some investment product

01:09 really to the masses.

01:11 So if you, I think many of you might be the user

01:14 for Go Plus, it's a money market fund.

01:17 And you can see the whole journey of onboarding

01:20 and using it is so seamless.

01:23 And that's one of the main reason why

01:26 there are so many users for this.

01:28 We want to repeat the same success with share trading.

01:31 Another main key pinpoints of people don't do share trading

01:36 is also because of, you see, we don't have enough money.

01:40 The entry barrier is too high, it's too complex,

01:43 it does not worth my efforts.

01:44 We also hope through Touch & Go eWallet,

01:47 we can address all these pinpoints.

01:49 We are the largest broker in Malaysia

01:53 by trading market share.

01:55 We have an efficient trading platform

02:00 which allows the investors to basically access

02:04 the market real time, real time information.

02:08 We give the investors ability to transact

02:15 as well as even monitor the investment portfolio.

02:20 We are a regulated entity, so we will ensure

02:26 that risk and control scientists, it's rigorous

02:31 and that will help prevent misuse and fraud.

02:37 - This collaboration represents a significant opportunity

02:43 and significant effort, if I may, to democratize investing

02:47 for Malaysia.
