Kuala Lumpur, 9 January 2009 - Customers were treated to an enlightening Feng Shui talk by Master Yap Boh Chu of the Yap Cheng Hai Academy, son of the renowned Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai. After the initial talk in Kuala Lumpur on 8 January 2009, Master Yap will joined us in a series of "Feng Shui" talk for our customers in Penang, Ipoh, Malacca, Johor, Sibu and Miri. This talk is proudly presented to them by United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd ["UOB (Malaysia)"].

Customer will be delighted to learn more about their wealth, health and what the year of Ox holds for them in 2009. Master Yap further equipped them with the do's and don'ts for the year of the Earth Ox. He will also share his views on the general well-being of the financial industry in Malaysia in 2009.

"Feng Shui is not a myth or superstitious believe. It is all about balance and harmony, the yin and the yang, the positive and the negative. You should capitalise on the positive aura in your surrounding and harness the "chi" to your best advantage," said Master Yap Boh Chu, Yap Cheng Hai Academy.

Added Mr Tay Han Chong, Senior Head of Personal Financial Services Division, UOB (Malaysia), "This talk is timely as our customers are busy preparing to usher in the Earth Ox. After tumultuous 2008, especially towards the tail end of the year, we hope this talk will guide our customer to start the New Year with a strong Ox's hoof."
