It was insightful because I have never looked at bank from this perspective before. And risk management is relevant at work and at personal level.” - Ms. Emily Sim Moi Fong DBS Bank Ltd, Singapore. [Class of February 2010]   “I find the Understanding The Financial Services Industry seminar to be really useful especially when it gives someone not from the financial industry (like me) a good overview of this industry. Besides an overview it does provide a historical background of how the industry was started hence would appreciate the current situation and hopefully with this insight be able to project what the future might look like.” - Ms. Alice Low Individual, Singapore. [Class of July 2010]   “Dr. Jeffrey Lim's sharing of his in-depth expert knowledge on the evolution of international trade, finance and banking industry from biblical and historical sources right through to our present new age of technology and its application is thought provoking.
