What Makes Padi Worth Your Time

Education without agenda. Learning built around your actual situation, not a product catalogue.

At a Glance

Six things that shape every Padi session.

No Product Selling

We have no financial products to sell. Our income comes from course fees only, so our teaching has no hidden agenda.

Small Groups

Maximum twelve participants per cohort. Every person has time to ask and space to think.

Malaysian Content

Every topic — EPF, PRS, wasiat, hibah, KWSP — is drawn from the Malaysian financial system your life actually runs on.

Unhurried Pace

Sessions are structured with older learners in mind. You are never made to feel rushed through material.

Printed Materials

Every programme includes workbooks and guides you take home — so what you learn stays accessible long after the session ends.

Experienced Educators

Our team comes from banking and civil service backgrounds — people who spent careers working inside these systems, not selling around them.

Expertise

Built from Real Experience Inside Malaysian Finance

Our lead educators spent their careers as a civil service welfare officer and a bank branch officer. They did not study financial education from a textbook — they spent decades navigating it professionally. That difference shows in how they explain things.

They know which EPF rules cause the most confusion. They know what a wasiat cannot do that people assume it can. They have seen the same misunderstandings arise again and again, and they have shaped our curriculum around addressing them plainly.

  • 28+ years in civil service pension and welfare administration
  • 20+ years in retail banking, branch operations

Service

Sessions That Respect Your Time and Your Experience

Adults in their 40s and beyond have full lives. They are not students with empty notebooks — they are people with jobs, families, and decades of practical experience. We design our sessions around that.

There is time to revisit a topic. There is space to ask without feeling self-conscious. And there is no rush to move on before the group is ready.

Value

Clear Pricing With No Hidden Add-Ons

Our fees cover everything — the sessions, the workbooks, the printed guides, and any follow-up support included in that programme. There is no upsell waiting at the end of a session and no separate charge for materials.

Programmes range from RM 235 for the introductory class to RM 800 for the full six-session programme. Each is priced to be accessible to working adults and retirees in Malaysia.

  • All materials included in the stated fee
  • No subscription or renewal costs
  • No referral arrangements with financial providers
  • Group rates available for employers and associations

What Sets Padi Apart

Features you will not find in most financial education available in Negeri Sembilan.

Estate Basics as Part of Retirement Education

Most retirement classes stop at savings. We include wasiat, hibah, and basic estate distribution — because retirement planning is incomplete without it.

Personal Review in the Retirement Plan Track

Participants in the four-session programme receive a one-to-one review session where they can ask questions specific to their own EPF and savings picture.

Employer and Association Group Arrangements

We work with HR teams and community organisations to deliver sessions for their members. Group enquiries are welcome and handled individually.

Content Reviewed Every Six Months

EPF rules, PRS contribution structures, and estate regulations change. We review all programme materials twice yearly so what you learn reflects the current picture.
