IFTC Regional Media Coverage Documented in 34-Page BERNAMA Compilation

KUALA LUMPUR, 4 September 2026 — The #IFTC International Financial Trading Championship has marked another milestone in its regional visibility following the publication of its “From Malaysia to Asia” story through BERNAMA Media Relations and Event Management (MREM), with the resulting media coverage documented in a 34-page news coverage compilation prepared by BERNAMA.

Titled “Kompilasi Liputan Berita”, the compilation dated 4 September 2026 consolidates documented media coverage following the publication of “From Malaysia to Asia: IFTC Builds Regional Recognition Through Record-Setting Trading Championships” on 28 August 2026.

The compilation provides IFTC with a formal media record showing how the story progressed beyond its original BERNAMA MREM publication and gained visibility through multiple news and media channels.

From BERNAMA Publication to Wider Media Coverage

The original story documented IFTC's development from a Malaysian initiative into a regional financial trading championship platform, including record recognition at the Malaysia, ASEAN and Asia levels.

Following its publication through #BERNAMA MREM, the story gained wider visibility through additional news and media channels.

The 34-page compilation documents coverage including #BERNAMAExclusivePress, #NAMNewsNetwork (NNN) and other media platforms carrying the IFTC story.

Rather than representing a separate recognition or endorsement, the compilation serves as a documented record of the #MediaCoverage generated following publication of the IFTC story.

For IFTC, the value of the compilation lies in providing a verifiable record of the championship's expanding public and regional visibility.

A Malaysian Initiative Reaching a Regional Audience

The media coverage follows IFTC's progression through several stages of development.

Beginning with a record-setting financial trading competition in Malaysia, IFTC subsequently expanded its reach and achieved record recognition at the Malaysia, ASEAN and Asia levels.

In February 2026, IFTC recorded 1,027 verified participant registrations within four hours across 20 licensed trading platforms regulated by 10 international authorities.

The achievement received recognition from ASEAN Records and Asia Records under the title:

“First and Largest Number of Portal-Registered Participants Within 4 Hours in a Global Financial Trading Championship Conducted Across 20 Licensed Trading Platforms Regulated by 10 International Authorities.”

These milestones formed the basis of the original “From Malaysia to Asia” story and reflected IFTC's development from a Malaysian competition initiative towards a broader regional platform.

The latest BERNAMA media compilation now documents another dimension of that journey — the expansion of IFTC's visibility beyond the competition environment and into the wider media landscape.

Building a Verifiable Public Track Record

Operating under the institutional governance of the #IFCCI International Financial Consultant Certified Institute, IFTC continues to develop its ecosystem around transparent competition structures, measurable performance and professional standards.

As the championship expands, a verifiable public track record becomes increasingly important.

Competition records demonstrate participation and scale. Performance frameworks demonstrate how traders are evaluated. Media records provide a public reference showing how institutional developments have been communicated and circulated.

The BERNAMA compilation therefore becomes part of IFTC's documented institutional history — alongside its competition records, regional development and evolving performance framework.

It also provides a reference point for trading communities, industry organisations and potential collaborators seeking to understand IFTC's development beyond individual competitions.

From Media Visibility to the Next Stage of IFTC

The wider media circulation comes as IFTC enters the next phase of its development.

The championship has introduced a more structured performance ecosystem incorporating the Trader Performance Index (TPI), an Annual Top 100 Ranking, the IFTC Open, and a framework allowing eligible organisations and trading communities to develop competitions under common performance standards.

These initiatives are designed to extend IFTC beyond individual championship events and towards a broader competition ecosystem where measurable performance can connect traders across different competitions and communities.

Against this background, documented media visibility supports a larger objective: establishing IFTC as a recognisable, transparent and increasingly connected regional championship platform originating from Malaysia.

34 Pages Documenting a Growing Media Presence

The 34-page BERNAMA “Kompilasi Liputan Berita” provides a consolidated record of media coverage associated with IFTC's regional recognition story.

For IFTC, the significance is not simply the number of pages. It is the progression they document:

From a Malaysian initiative.
To regional record recognition.
To wider media visibility.

As IFTC continues building its competition and collaboration ecosystem, this documented media presence adds another layer to its public track record and provides organisations, communities and participants with a clearer reference to the championship's development.
