Please claim your money! RM14 billion unclaimed!
Sometimes, we forgot we have some money somewhere. Dividend cheques from our share holdings which was not cashed in a very long time ago… Or some accounts which become dormant and still have many hundreds of ringgit inside it, maybe even thousands? Well, this small amount per person may no longer be a small amount once it’s aggregated. In fact, it’s now RM14 billion as per our Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan. Read on…
Article in thestar.com.my. The Accountant General’s Department has recorded over RM14bil in unclaimed money as of Sept 30, 2026, says Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
The Finance Minister II said a lack of awareness and knowledge among the public regarding the existence of such unclaimed funds as well as their right to file claims, are among the primary factors contributing to this total.
“Other factors include the failure to locate the owners of the funds due to contact information, such as addresses and telephone numbers, being outdated or inaccurate as well as a lack of awareness regarding the existence of unclaimed money, particularly when owners are unaware that there are funds still owed to them by entities or companies.” Read full article here: Article in thestar.com.my.
