No more 80km trips: New ATM eases banking woes for Lojing's Orang Asli community
GUA MUSANG: More than 3,000 Orang Asli residents from several settlements in the Lojing Highlands no longer need to travel approximately 80km to access an automated teller machine (ATM), following the installation of the facility at the Lojing Highlands Rest and Service (R&R) area yesterday. A resident, Sani Alang, 45, said they previously had to travel to Gua Musang town at least once a month just to withdraw cash from an ATM. He said the new ATM service had brought great relief to the community, easing the long-standing hardship of having to make long trips for basic banking transactions. "Previously, I had to spend almost RM50 on fuel and travel around 80km to town just to withdraw money. Now, not anymore," he said. "However, we hope that a cash deposit machine (CDM) can also be made available in the future for the convenience of residents." Meanwhile, Galas assemblyman Mohd Syahbuddin Hashim said the facility benefits not only the Orang Asli community in Lojing but also tourists and road users travelling between Gua Musang, Lojing, and Cameron Highlands in Pahang. He said this was the first ATM installed in the Lojing sub-district. "This long-awaited Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) ATM has finally been installed and is now operational at the Lojing R&R. "We are grateful to BSN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Awang Adek Hussin for the approval, and to the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister's Department for funding the building through the Galas assemblyman's service centre," he said. "We have opened access and provided the necessary facilities for the people in remote areas," he added.

RTD Retiree Gets Life-Changing Windfall As 111th BSN SSP Millionaire
Published : 20/05/2025 11:23 PM SEREMBAN, May 20 (Bernama) -- A retired civil servant was left stunned after winning RM1 million through Bank Simpanan Nasional's Premium Savings Certificate (BSN SSP) Jutawan programme, a life-changing windfall she never saw coming. Azizah Kamarudin, 65, from Negeri Sembilan, became the 111th winner from the state to receive the grand prize. She began saving with BSN SSP in 1990 with just RM10 and remained consistent over the years for the sake of her family's future. The former Road Transport Department officer said she was informed of her win by a BSN representative via phone on May 5 and later verified it at the BSN branch in Senawang. 'Before the call, I had seen the winner announcement on BSN's Facebook page. I noticed a name that matched mine. 'I thought it must be someone else with the same name. But deep down, I hoped it was me,' she told reporters today after receiving a replica cheque for the prize at her home in Seremban Jaya. It was presented by BSN Negeri Sembilan's chief of Deposit Management, Mohd Ruzaini Mohd Sani, and deputy president of Public Relations and Communications, Christina Geeta Thomas. The mother of three said she plans to use the winnings to perform umrah with her husband, Baharuddin Md Yusof, 67, during Ramadan next year and save the rest. 'Alhamdulillah, I am grateful for all these blessings. This year, my husband, children and I received the offer to perform hajj together, which was unexpected. Since we performed hajj in 2018, we chose to postpone this time to give way to our children and to care for our grandchildren,' she said. Azizah added that the BSN SSP savings scheme is an ideal long-term investment, as it not only encourages saving but also offers the chance to win substantial prizes. -- BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.

Ipoh City Council staff urged to become exemplary, high-performing role models
State housing and local government chairman Sandra Ng (middle) presents awards to the council staff during the council employee awarding programme. IPOH: Ipoh City Council (MBI) staff must strive to become high-performing knowledge workers or 'K-workers' who set the standard for other local authorities, says an exco member. Perak housing and local government committee chairman Sandrea Ng Shy Ching said knowledgeable, creative, and committed personnel are essential to the city council's success. Ng stressed that development initiatives and strategic planning are equally vital to shaping Ipoh. 'The City Council's role extends beyond cleaning drains, collecting rubbish and cutting grass, but also encompasses city development and the enhancement of human capital. 'MBI is not just here to solve basic municipal problems. It plays a much larger role in driving development, improving services, and elevating Ipoh's status as a city we can all be proud of,' she said in her speech at the city council's excellent service award event held at a hotel here on Thursday (May 15). Ng also congratulated the 236 recipients of the award, calling them role models, and praised the council for its tireless commitment to maintaining a clean and livable city. She said the council's cleaning staff were noted for working late into the night to ensure cleanliness levels remained optimal, an effort seen as essential ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026. 'Between January 1 and Dec 31 last year, MBI undertook extensive efforts including cleaning 30,892 metres of drains, clearing 6,837 illegal dumping sites, and disposing of 223,672.63 tonnes of domestic waste. 'MBI also organised 101 gotong-royong sessions, installed 2,024 'no littering' signs, and issued 1,444 compounds worth RM373,250 to litterbugs,' she said. Ng reiterated the importance of strong leadership continuity within the council to drive further achievements, stating that such leadership would guide Ipoh toward becoming a smart, prosperous, and sustainable city. Also present was Ipoh City Council secretary Ahmad Munir Ishak, who said that 176 excellent service award recipients would each receive an incentive of RM1,000 in the form of a Bank Simpanan Nasional Premium Savings Certificate, a certificate of appreciation, and a commemorative gold coin. Meanwhile, 60 recipients of the excellent proficiency award would receive a RM400 Bank Simpanan Nasional Premium Savings Certificate and a certificate of appreciation.
