Helping Parents Succeed
Who doesn’t love money? Even kids know the importance of it. Without it, there will be no new, shiny toys.
One of the ways to teach children about money is to tell them about the history of the most sought after stuff in the world.
What better way to do this than to bring them to the very institution that prints money: the central bank.

In the past few months, my parenting life was smooth and without any big challenge.

I love things that bring nostalgic feelings. That’s why this exhibition drew my attention.
While it was still on, I took time out to visit “Born in Malaysia” photo exhibition in one of the art galleries.
