TAILOR DELIGHTED AFTER WINNING RM1 MLN BSN SSP LUCKY DRAW

KOTA BHARU, April 24 (Bernama) -- A tailor from Kampung Chempaka here, Roswani Ismail, 56, is now a millionaire after winning the 110th Bank Simpanan Nasional Sijil Simpanan Premium (BSN SSP) Millionaire’s Draw.

Roswani expressed her surprise at receiving a call from a BSN officer on the fourth day of Aidilfitri on April 3 informing her that she had won RM1 million in the draw.

“Initially I couldn’t believe it, but the officer tried to convince me and asked me to come to the BSN office. Alhamdulillah, it was really true that I had been picked. I will continue to save my winnings in the BSN SSP account as I want to increase my savings for the future,” she told reporters here today.

She related that she has saved money in her BSN account for over 20 years, but only began saving in the BSN SSP since three years ago for a more secure future.

“Saving in BSN SSP made me more disciplined. If I save in a normal account, it’s easy to withdraw the money. But saving in BSN SSP, we need to be more careful as the intention is to save for the long term.

“The source of my savings comes from what I earn from tailoring and also the money I saved when I worked as a salesperson at a boutique. Sometimes I save RM100 a month, sometimes more,” she said.

Roswani plans to donate some of her winnings to charity and take her siblings on Umrah as well.

“I’m very grateful and thankful to BSN for giving this opportunity to people who wish to save. My advice is to continue to save consistently as there are opportunities and it is for the future,” she added.
