Therefore, professional bodies of banking in Malaysia such as Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB), Chartered Bankers (CB) can raise their awareness through providing sponsorship and education through tertiary students and corporate members. Bank Negara Malaysia had collaborated with AICB in developing a foundation to professionalism in banking for university graduates to enroll in, namely the Financial Sector Training Enhancement Program (FSTEP) in the year 2007. However, it is suggest that AICB can provide more professional qualifications in banking, by targeting the specific interest of

The moral hazard of too big to fail institutions also applies to creditors. If a creditor feels that a firm is too big to fail, they will demand less compensation for their risk.

Thus an extensive analysis of the employee’s qualifications was indispensible, so that all the employees which went to meet the customers should have minimum training as desired.

Example, Malaysia is a country with growing economy and general rules which effect Maybank would be interest rates. It would be difficult for the loaners to pay back the money if the interest rates is set too high. Then, most of Malaysian people bankrupt due to paying loans with high interest.
