11 Malaysia-Based Personal Finance Twitter Accounts to Follow

If you love personal finance as a topic but have not explored Malaysian Twitter yet, do I have a treat for you today.

Following my popular personal finance Instagrammers in Malaysia article, I thought I’d compile the Twitter version pulak. Here are some Malaysia-based personal finance Twitter accounts you definitely should follow.

Note that I have intentionally excluded other personal finance thought leaders in Malaysia who don’t use Twitter as their main engagement channel (bloggers, Instagrammers etc). I also exclude Twitter accounts maintained by finance-related companies and media.

This names in this list links directly to their Twitter accounts and appear in no particular order. If I missed out anyone, do let me know (or leave a comment with a link to the profile!)

Kalau ikutkan,
bayar penuh dgn diskaun 20% lagi untung.

Jumlah ujrah= 15k x 1% x 6tahun = RM900
VS
Diskaun = 15k x 20% = RM3k

hilang potensi? tak. sebab kenapa?
ada lebihan RM200 sebulan, ada option untuk invest. https://t.co/bz6hLMpDm8

Dua jam sebelum tunggu kick off, dapat soalan ASB vs ABF mana satu lagi bagus.

Selain daripada dua dua ada pros and cons, ASBF juga ada risiko menjadikan kita penghutang berbanding pelabur. Take a baby step. Jangan kejar sangat. Invest in your time as well to learn. pic.twitter.com/u4wXCuGYnr

Baru je semalam calculate cost retirement dengan inflation assumption 3.5% setahun. Tiba-tiba hari ni ternampak average 3.64% ☹️

It’s OK to be a housewife or househusband. But always find a way to build up your retirement saving. When your child is grown up, he/she can be independent and take care of him/herself. But there is no guarantee he/she is able to take care of our old self; financially. Get it?

Alright, that’s all folks! These are the people I personally follow on Twitter – I’ve learned a lot from them, so make sure you follow them too!
