KUALA LUMPUR, 26 Nov 2017:
“I never expect to win this lucky draw by depositing RM150 a month into the National Education Saving Scheme (SSPN) for my daughter,” said Azlifa Ismail, 38 – who won RM10,000 in the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) October monthly lucky draw contest.
Azlifa, who is from Semenyih and an executive, won the lucky draw for an account which she opened for her daughter, Airis Sofea Mohd Rais, 7, who is in Year One at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Jasmin.
She said she had been saving at SSPN for her daughter since the girl was three.
“The saving (in SSPN) is not for the parents, but it is the parents’ responsibility to ensure there is saving for their children’s education.
“I was a PTPTN borrower, so I know the cost of education will be higher in future. Instead of borrowing, it is better that as parents, we save for our children,” she said at the lucky draw prize presentation.
