COMMUNITY
We invest in our community to improve lives. To this end, we support youth
development by providing educational programmes for financial literacy and
capital market awareness. We carry out our community outreach programmes
and encourage our employees to do their part in helping the underprivileged and
deserving.
As part of our support for youth development and to promote excellence in
education, we undertook the following programmes:
a.
Training of 75 graduates and undergraduates from local and foreign
universities under our training and internship programmes, exposing them
to working life, the business operations of Bursa Malaysia and the industry
as a whole;
b. We engaged with 7,500 students during the year through the launch of the
Bursa Young Investor Club and hosting of student visits to the Exchange.
We also supported other youth programmes such as the American Malaysia
Chamber of Commerce’s Junior Marketplace Workshop.
c.
We continued to offer the investing community and general public access to
our Knowledge Centre and free equities research reports on our Research
Repository;
d. Talent development through our Yayasan Bursa Malaysia Scholarship
Programme, offering five scholarships to underprivileged students to pursue
tertiary education in local universities. We also rewarded 55 children of our
employees for their excellent performance in national examinations.
To help improve the situation of deserving members of our community, and as
part of our effort to encourage employees to volunteer for the benefit of the
community:
a.
We organised the inaugural Bursa Bull Charge 2014, uniting all our
stakeholders for a good cause and raising RM1.3 million for eight
beneficiaries that champion financial literacy and entrepreneurship;
b. We supported and encouraged our employees who contributed their time
and energy in a variety of community projects. These projects included
establishing pop-up children's libraries at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital and the
Putrajaya Hospital, recycling tee shirts for Yayasan Chow Kit to turn into sling
bags for sale, collecting used and new school uniforms for needy school
children and packing and distributing food for the homeless at Kechara
Soup Kitchen. Our employees contributed a total of 4,574 volunteering
hours; and
c.
We visited beneficiaries of the Bursa Bull Charge 2014, namely Sekolah
Latihan Wanita Ipoh, Projek Kalsom, My Performing Arts Agency, CADS
Enhancement Centre, Women International Network, Persatuan Kebajikan
An-Najjah Malaysia and Persatuan Amal Sabah.

REWARDING PERFORMANCE
Bursa Malaysia has established a fair remuneration policy with the objective of
achieving a sustainable performance over the long-term and offers employees a
transparent, market-rate compensation system. It incorporates both fixed (78%)
and variable (22%) elements, as well as short-term and long-term components.
These include a basic salary, benefits, and short-term and long-term incentives.
The fixed salaries of employees are supplemented by performance-based
compensation components that are linked to the attainment of key performance
indicators as well as to employees’ individual performances.
