IN the 2008 Budget, senior citizens who did not have permanent jobs were promised that they could subscribe to a RM2 billion bond to be issued by Bank Negara at five per cent interest rate for three years.

That was in early September. Retirees and senior citizens hope Bank Negara will make an announcement on this matter soon.
