Tabung Anak Selangor (Tawas) Programme

31 January 2009

Tawas is one of the key programmes launched by the Selangor state government to ensure the state's wealth directly benefited its citizens.

"All those born on Jan 1, 2008 and after with at least one parent born in Selangor, are eligible. Through Tawas, Selangor will make a savings gift contribution of RM100 for every eligible child. On the child's 18th birthday, he or she is entitled for RM1,500 from Tawas, explains Tawas project marketing officer Normaizatuniza Samian.

"Tawas is a savings fund. The purpose of creating the fund is to ensure the revenue of the state, such as from its natural resources, is enjoyed by the citizens. The fund will be managed by a team of professional investment managers to ensure the money will grow over time," she said,

Normaizatuniza added that bibs and caps for babies would be given out to those who register on a first-come-first-served basis.
