The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) is back once again with its annual campaign Bulan Menabung Simpan SSPN (BMS) 2023, in a bid to encourage saving habits among Malaysians and to promote Simpan SSPN as a preferred savings instrument. This time featuring the theme “Robotik: Ke Arah Transformasi Dunia Pendigitalan” and the tagline “Jom Jadi Superhero Anak Anda”, it is set to run until 31 October 2023.
One key activity that will be held during BMS 2023 to encourage Simpan SSPN depositors to save is the BMS 2023 Lucky Draw, where a minimum net deposit of RM300 will earn you entries to join the draw event. There is a grand prize of RM10,000 to be won, in addition to consolation prizes of RM1,000.
On top of that, the BMS 2023 campaign will also feature a road tour across Malaysia for the very first time, with various activities to be organised at each stop – such as talent contests, robotic competitions, and performances. Other events that you can also look forward to during the campaign month include the PTPTN Esports Challenge (PUBG Mobile) and the BMS Hints Challenge.
Chairman of PTPTN, Datuk Norliza Abdul Rahim said that the fund corporation is aiming to achieve a deposit target of RM220 million this year, and that she is optimistic of the outcome. She also said that since Simpan SSPN’s inception back in 2004, deposits have increased on a yearly basis.
“As of August 31, the total amount of Simpan SSPN deposits was a total of RM15.81 billion involving 6.04 million accounts, and this proves that Simpan SSPN continues to be excellent as the best savings product in the country,” Datuk Norliza further commented.
Finally, Datuk Norliza reiterated PTPTN’s commitment in transforming parents’ mindset from borrowing for their children’s tertiary education, to saving for it. This, in turn, will prevent their children from being saddled with debt after graduation.
