    THE 196 members of Jurong Country Club (JCC) holding notes totalling S$23.5 million want JTC Corporation to redeem the debt when the club closes this year - not when the notes mature in 2033.

    The debenture holders, out of a total membership of about 2,500, had each subscribed to non-interest-bearing unsecured notes of S$120,000 when they registered as members in 1993, the year the club was built. This was a condition of membership at the time. The notes mature on Sept 1, 2033.
