The Financial Health Association of Malaysia (FAHAM) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing financial literacy, financial inclusion, and financial well-being among Malaysian consumers. Through evidence-based education, research, coaching, advocacy, and community initiatives, we empower Malaysian consumers with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and resources needed to make informed financial decisions at every stage of life.

President’s Message

It is a great honour to serve as the first President and Co-Founder of the Financial Health Association of Malaysia (FAHAM). The Association was founded on the belief that financial education can transform lives by enabling people to make informed decisions and achieve sustainable economic well-being. Together with our Founder, Dr Rajna Anthony, and a committed team of academicians and professionals in the financial industry, we established FAHAM to support individuals, families, and communities across Malaysia.

Our vision is to equip Malaysian consumers with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to build a secure financial future. Through education, coaching, research, advocacy, and community engagement, FAHAM aims to strengthen financial capability and resilience. We also translate research on financial health, behaviour, and well-being into programs that address Malaysians’ needs.

We welcome collaboration with government agencies, institutions, corporations, researchers, and community organizations to expand financial education and create lasting change. I invite all who share our aspirations to support FAHAM as we build a financially informed, inclusive, and resilient Malaysia – one informed decision at a time.

Founder's Message

The idea of establishing the Financial Health Association of Malaysia (FAHAM) was inspired by a simple yet thought-provoking conversation with a postgraduate student, Ms. Pri Hansini Chaskar, who observed that many people make poor financial decisions early in life and only realise their consequences later, when financial recovery becomes far more difficult. She expressed her hope for an association that would take such issues seriously and advocate for long-term financial well-being. She suggested the name Financial Health Association of Malaysia (FAHAM).
