Agency plants tualang saplings to show importance of strong financial foundation

When a famous 500-year-old tualang tree fell in a Pahang village recently, a national debt management agency saw parallels between the tree’s life and the organisation’s mission.

Credit Counselling and Management Agency (AKPK) then carried out a planting of two tualang saplings at the village, Kampung Kuala Wau in Maran.
