The Bank today releases the eleventh series of the "Buku Wang Saku" (BWS) for 2009 as part of the Bank's on-going efforts to educate school children in managing their pocket money and personal finances.


Y.Bhg. Dato' Mohd Nor Khalid, or better known as Dato' Lat continues to provide the caricatures in BWS 2009. In collaboration with the financial institutions under the School Adoption Programme since it was introduced in 1999, a total of 6.9 million copies of BWS have been distributed to the school children in more than 7,000 schools in Malaysia.

BWS 2009 is designed in two versions, one each for the primary and secondary school children. The book covers a variety of important topics such as setting financial goals, prudent spending, good credit culture and many more. Children will also have the opportunity to participate in the BWS 2009 competitions, i.e. colouring for primary school children and poster creation for secondary school children.

For those who prefer to plan and manage their finances using computers, the electronic version of the BWS 2009 is available in the financial education website at http://www.duitsaku.com.my/.

Walk-in customers and Bank staff may obtain BWS 2009 for their children at Bank Negara Malaysia LINK, Bank Negara Malaysia branches in Penang , Johor Bahru, Kuala Terengganu, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
