THE National Savings Day 2016 roadshow reached its third destination yesterday at the Pengiran Setia Negara Pengiran Mohd Yusof Primary School.
Some 90 students from schools in the Belait District attended the event.
In line with this year’s theme ‘Financially Literate Generation’, games and activities were hosted by the institutions participating in the roadshow such as Employees Trust Fund (TAP) and Junior Achievement Brunei (JA Brunei).
Louis Tan, the Managing Director of JA Brunei, said JA Brunei set up a booth that featured the JA More Than Money board game that is designed to teach the students how to save, earn, spend and donate.

“If we just tell them what to do, they won’t understand, so we explain to them what is spending, saving and donating through playing the game.”
Other activities included ‘I Spy’ that was geared towards spotting objects related to finance or entrepreneurship as well as a guessing game that offered prizes of old currencies of Asean member countries if the students guessed the amount of money correctly.
Other events planned for the National Savings Day 2016 are the Financial Fun Fair at Jerudong Park The Colonnade on May 22, 2016 that will feature a host of fun family programmes and interactive activities as well as the Financial Planner’s Showcase on May 28, 2016.
