He said that some of Roslans achievements include pioneering Malaysia's maiden Islamic Sukuk and his involvement in the clearance system for Islamic Banking in Malaysia. Ng said that there is a substantial Islamic population in Sri Lanka and they also have a substantial amount of savings but according to the Islamic law there are constraints for them to invest in normal savings products..

But still there is a necessity for a basic understanding of Islamic finance.
