Yescom 2009 Official Launch - MoneyTree Team

Yescom 2009 (Young Entrepreneurs Skill Competition) jointly organized by KESUMA (Association of Malay Entrepreneurs) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic, has been launch just last Thursday 30 April 2009 at Entrepreneurs-Connect@ NP, Blk 72, Level 1, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, 535 Clementi Road, Singapore, attended by participating schools - students & teachers-in-charge.

The event was officially launched by Mr. Zainudin Nordin - Mayor, Centreal Singapore District.

Welcome speech was given by Mr. Philip Lau - Director of School of Business & Accountancy, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and Opening speech given by Mr. Awalluden Abu, YESCOM Chairman.

Ms. Milah Hj. Bakri brief the participants on the Profit & Loss Template, that's needed to be submitted after the Grand Finale on 12 July 2009 @ HDB Hub.

Mr. Leow Teck Sim brief the particpants on Social Entreprise segment of the competition. Instead of teams needing to attend a 3-hr compulsory on-the-job assignment at the old folks' homes, this has been replaced by having the team communicate a Home of their choice, and to come up with a 2-page proposal on how they can help to raise funds together (or for) them.

Mr. Ibrahim Ariff, president of KESUMA, further elaborated on Social Entrepreneurship, as it's the first time in this competition that this component has been added. He also talk about the Rules & Regulations of the YESCOM competition.

We are happy that MoneyTree Singapore Pte Ltd is fielding 1 Team, led by Mr. Tay Zhong En (15 years old).

This is indeed a very good opportunity for MoneyTree's students to put what they have learned at our MoneyTree Workshops.

We hoped all the teams an enjoyable & fruitful journey during YESCOM 2009.
