Bangun Pagi(Wake-up in The Morning)

Consultant A:
Bangun pagi, fikir pasal politik, fikir pasal negara, pikir pasal Menteri Besar, pikir pasal gosip dan bermacam-macam lagi. So, resultnya untuk hari itu ialah PENING = NO SALES = NO MONEY = TAK BOLEH JADI KAYA LE.

Consultant B:
Bangun pagi, ASK.. tengah hari ASK .. petang ASK .. lewat petang ASK .. malam ASK .. lewat malam ASK lagi (yang ni, jawab sendiri) = HAPPY = SALES = MONEY = CEPAT KAYA

Jadi, go & ASK:

1. To become valued customers.
2. To become our downline.

Wassalam

What is SUKUK ?

Sukuk (Arabic: صكوك‎, plural of صك Sakk, "legal instrument, deed, check") is the Arabic name for a financial certificate but can be seen as an Islamic equivalent of bond. However, fixed income, interest bearing bonds are not permissible in Islam, hence Sukuk are securities that comply with the Islamic law and its investment principles, which prohibits the charging, or paying of interest. Financial assets that comply with the Islamic law can be classified in accordance with their tradability and non-tradability in the secondary markets.
Conservative estimates by the Ten-Year Framework and Strategies suggest that over $700 billion of assets are managed according to Islamic investment principles.[1] Such principles form part of Shari'ah, which is often understood to be ‘Islamic Law’, but it is actually broader than this in that it also encompasses the general body of spiritual and moral obligations and duties in Islam.
Sharia-compliant assets worldwide are worth an estimated $500 billion and have grown at more than 10 per cent per year over the past decade, placing Islamic finance in a global asset class all of its own. In the Gulf and Asia, Standard & Poor's estimates that 20 per cent of banking customers would now spontaneously choose an Islamic financial product over a conventional one with a similar risk-return profile.
With its Arabic terminology and unusual prohibitions, Sukuk financing can be quite mystifying for the outsider. A good analogy is one of ethical or green investing. Here the universe of investable securities is limited by certain criteria based on moral and ethical considerations. Islamic Finance is also a subset of the global market and there is nothing that prevents the conventional investor from participating in the Islamic market.

Be A Unit Trust Consultant (Public Mutual - No.1)

Why would I want to be a Unit Trust Consultant?
Because YOU deserve to have a well-paid and fulfilling career in an industry that is enjoying explosive growth in Malaysia.

The Malaysian unit trust industry is vastly untapped
The local unit trust industry is a multi-billion Ringgit industry because of its vastly untapped potential. In a period of just 15 years since 1992, the amount managed by private unit trust companies grew from a mere RM400 million to RM71.005 billion! (source: Lipper, 28 January 2008)

The Malaysian Private Unit Trust Industry's Growth Rate from 1992-2007

Great Opportunities to earn unlimited income
According to the Securities Commission, in December 2007, the Malaysian unit trusts boasted 15.32% equity penetration rate*. In comparison to the same period, United Kingdom's equity penetration rate was 41.62%. (source: London Stock Exchange and Investment management Association, UK)

Malaysia unit trust equity penetration rate

In December 1992, the Malaysian unit trusts equity penetration rate was merely 6.40%. This means that Malaysia's rate is low in comparison with more developed countries like the UK and Malaysia's ratio is rising rapidly.
For you, all these translate into plenty of opportunities to earn potentially unlimited income as a un it trust consultant.

Why would I want to join Public Mutual?

Because Public Mutual is the biggest and the best!
