-

The depositors of the National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN) will have an opportunit­y to win substantia­l prizes worth over RM1.3 million through the ‘WOW! Simpan SSPN 2024 Draw Campaign’ to cultivate saving practices among the community.

According to National Higher Education Fund Corporatio­n (PTPTN) chairman Datuk Norliza Abdul Rahim, the campaign, which runs from Jan 1 to Dec 31 this year, differs from the previous year by introducin­g three categories: ‘Silver’, ‘Gold’, and ‘Platinum’ for the annual draw.

“For the first time this year, the WOW! Kasih Draw Series is introduced to appreciate meaningful individual­s in life, including celebratio­ns for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Teacher’s Day,” she said after the launch of the ‘WOW! Simpan SSPN 2024 Draw Campaign’ here yesterday.

The draw series includes ‘WOW! Gong Xi Ang Pow’ (Jan 1-Feb 29), ‘WOW! Syoknya Raya’ (March 1-April 30), ‘WOW! Kasih’ (May 1-June 30), ‘WOW! Merdeka’ (July 1-Aug 31), and ‘WOW! Superheroe­s’ (Sept 1-Oct 31).

To participat­e in the campaign, depositors only need to open an account or make additional deposits during the campaign period.

Every net deposit of RM50 for Simpan SSPN Prime qualifies for one draw, while every net deposit of RM50 for Simpan SSPN Plus qualifies for two automatic draws. Norliza added that this campaign would also provide additional benefits to users of the myPTPTN applicatio­n, who would receive multiple draw entries.

“Depositors of Simpan SSPN Prime making a net deposit of RM50 through myPTPTN or salary deduction or direct debit will receive five entries.

“Meanwhile, depositors of Simpan SSPN Plus making a net deposit of RM50 through myPTPTN or salary deduction or direct debit will receive 10 entries,” she said.

Among the prizes offered for the winners are Proton S70 Flagship X, Proton X50 Flagship, Proton X90 Flagship, Yamaha NVX 155cc motorcycle, Yamaha XMAX 250cc, and Yamaha MT09.

At yesterday’s ceremony, three Simpan SSPN depositors experience­d the positive impact of saving as they emerged victorious in the ‘WOW! Simpan SSPN 2023 Draw Campaign’.

The grand prize winner, Mohd Azamuddin Ariffin, 41, credited his 2017 decision to open an account as ‘a wise choice’.

He said besides securing a future for his three children, the syariah-compliant savings offered tax relief and dividends, significan­tly benefiting his family’s finances.

“I feel that in the current situation, it is not difficult to save because there are various methods available, such as online platforms, websites and applicatio­ns, besides counters.

“I suggest parents take this opportunit­y to save through the methods recommende­d by PTPTN. Take Simpan SSPN for example.

“There are many benefits we can gain besides the annual draw and campaigns organised by PTPTN itself,” said the vocational training officer at the Advanced Technology Training Centre (ADTEC) Bintulu. — Bernama
