"The idea of establishing an actuarial society in APU was initially communicated with Dr Raja Rajeswari who was our Academic Leader for School of Mathematics, Actuarial and Quantitative Studies (SoMAQS) during the end of year 2018. I was thrilled that Dr Raja was supportive of my idea. After gaining her approval, I conveyed this idea to my classmates, and a club committee which was made up of 11 personnel was formed. Throughout the preparation of the club proposal, Dr Raja provided us with advice and guidance. At a later stage, we started to introduce this idea to actuarial students of majority intakes to hear about their interest and also to get their signature for the proposal. The proposal was approved by the administration service approximately 8 weeks after submission. Eventually, ASC was officially founded in January 2019. To date, ASC is 3 years old, and I am delighted to see how much it has grown.

​

The proposal was rejected by the administration office twice. Because the idea of establishing an actuarial society is viewed as too similar with Accounting & Finance Club and also the Bursa Young Investor Club. Apart from that, the administration office is also concerned that the number of new clubs are forming at a rapid rate at that point in time, which could be difficult for them to manage. Fortunately, we managed to persuade them in the end, and got our proposal approved."- Wendy Wong Wei Wei, 2020.
