Integrity as the Cornerstone of Professionalism
MTPN President YBhg. Dato’ Paduka Dr. Kevy K.V. Yeo emphasised that MMOWA is “not a business competition but a celebration of spirit”. As highlighted by PickaStock:
“We want society to recognise those who uphold trust with sincerity and professionalism, those who educate consumers, protect the public, and drive ethical progress in the industry. These individuals are Malaysia’s true assets.”
He further explained that MMOWA aligns with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Financial Literacy Framework and the Securities Commission’s Capital Market Masterplan 3 (CMP3), emphasising transparency, education, and consumer empowerment.

MMOWA 2025 represents more than accolades; it embodies a commitment to values over vanity. PickaStock reported:
