Question

Accepted Answer

184 Unclaimed Money Booths Established Nationwide

As of October 31, companies and firms have transferred RM17 billion in unclaimed money to the Accountant General's Department. Of this amount, RM4.2 billion has been successfully claimed by rightful owners, leaving a balance of RM12.8 billion still to be claimed.
Increased Public Awareness Efforts

To enhance public awareness and encourage more claims for unclaimed money, the Accountant General's Department has established 184 booths across the nation since 2022. These booths serve as key touchpoints for individuals to inquire about and initiate claims for funds they may be entitled to.
Government Exploring Data Integration for Claims

The government is actively considering a proposal to leverage updated data from the National Registration Department (JPN). This initiative aims to facilitate the identification of rightful owners or their heirs, with the ultimate goal of directly crediting the unclaimed funds into their respective accounts.
Ongoing Efforts to Reduce Outstanding Claims

The substantial sum of RM12.8 billion represents funds that have been handed over by various entities but have yet to be reunited with their intended recipients. The establishment of booths and the potential use of updated government data are part of a broader strategy to address this significant outstanding amount.
