Let’s read.

A bank officer is giving a talk to pupils of Sekolah Kebangsaan Tunas Cipta
about children’s savings account.

Good morning pupils. I’m Encik Ramzi, from VC bank. Today,
I would like to talk to you about our ‘Junior Savings Account’.
It is a great way to develop the habit of saving money.
The ‘Junior Savings Account’ is a savings account for primary
school children between seven to twelve years old. You must
be a Malaysian to open an account.
You cannot open an account yourself. Your parent or
guardian must do it for you. You can enjoy earning profits
when you save using this account. The more you save, the
higher profits you earn.
The good news is you can open an account
with only RM1.00. You will also get a recognition
card with birthday gifts, discounts at selected
book and food outlets, and your very own money
box.
I hope you will not miss this golden opportunity
to save with us. For those who are interested, please
proceed to our booth at the end of the hall. Thank
you.
