Since 2018, PTPTN has been running the event every year in conjunction with World Savings Day. This is one of PTPTN's initiatives to attract parents to save in a Simpan SSPN account.

Every October, PTPTN organises different programmes and activities to educate parents about the importance of saving for their children's future education and also allow for family bonding.

By having a savings plan under Simpan SSPN, you'll not only enjoy income tax relief of up to RM8,000 a year, but also get competitive dividends, which helps you grow your children's education fund faster.
