Children of FRU crash victims to receive SSPN benefits
IPOH : The three children of the late Roslan Rahim, a Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel who was killed in a recent road crash, are eligible to receive RM193,000 in benefits through the National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN).
National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chairman Norliza Rahim said the benefits were derived from the late 46-year-old FRU officer's savings under two products – Simpan SSPN Prime and Simpan SSPN Plus.
The late Roslan had opened a Simpan SSPN Prime account for himself on May 7, making him eligible for a takaful protection benefit of RM1,000 and a death benefit of RM3,000.
'He also opened three Simpan SSPN Plus accounts under the Intan Package for his three children on March 31, 2019.
'With a monthly commitment of RM30 per account – RM20 for savings and RM10 for takaful – he qualified for Simpan SSPN Plus benefits, including an accidental death takaful coverage of RM60,000 per account, totalling RM180,000 for all three children.
'Additionally, the beneficiaries are entitled to a death benefit of RM9,000 for the three accounts. This brings the total Simpan SSPN Plus benefits to RM189,000, and the overall benefits including Simpan SSPN Prime to RM193,000,' she said during a visit to Roslan's home here today.
She said another FRU personnel killed in the same accident, Amiruddin Zabri, 38, who was also a Simpan SSPN Prime depositor, received a takaful protection benefit and death benefit totalling RM4,000.
Norliza and other PTPTN officials also visited five homes of the FRU accident victims in Perak today.
During the visits, Norliza said PTPTN has provided RM15,000 in donations to the children of the FRU crash victims, with each of the 15 children receiving RM1,000 in the form of a Simpan SSPN Prime account.
'Although no amount can replace their loss, the benefits received are hoped to safeguard the education of the children and support their future,' she said.
Nine FRU personnel were killed and nine others injured when the truck they were in collided with a gravel-laden lorry on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam, Teluk Intan, while returning to their base in Sungai Senam, Teluk Intan on Tuesday morning.
