8 Bachelor of Actuarial Science

ALUMNI PROFILES

Mr. Alvin Lim Yong Xin

Why did you choose this programme?

Mathematics is my passion. While both Mathematics
and Actuarial Science degrees relate to mathematics,
the scope of Actuarial Science spans across several
interrelated subjects, including accounting,
economics, finance, investment, insurance and
programming. This knowledge has certainly helped to
achieve my goal of being a well-rounded,

mathematically oriented businessperson. I am
currently working as the Leadership Executive
Accelerated Programme (L.E.A.P) Executive in
Malaysia Airlines. The L.E.A.P is a 36-month Leadership Executive
programme designed to develop future leaders for Accelerated Programme
the organisation.

The airline industry is one of those industries that heavily relies on big data analytics. My
background as a Bachelor of Actuarial Science graduate, with strong mathematical skills
and the ability to demonstrate leadership and communication skills, have helped me in
getting accepted into this programme.

I was fortunate to be elected as the president of the Universiti Malaya Actuarial and
Financial Mathematics Society (UMACT) for the session of 2018/2019. I enjoyed every
moment I spent together with all active members, organising activities such as Industrial

Talks, Interaction Day, Bonding Camp, and National Secondary School Actuarial Camp
(NSACT). This invaluable experience had also sharpened my soft skills and expanded my
network.
