Many use savings from unutilised vacations to buy gold


GEORGE TOWN: With gold prices plunging about 20% from record highs, many people are using cash saved from vacations that never happened to invest in jewellery.

A jeweller interviewed even said some buyers told him they used their Employees Provident Fund withdrawals through i-Sinar to invest in gold.

Housewife Fatin Mohd Ismail, 32, said she was buying a set of bangles as prices were attractive, compared to six months ago.
