BUSINESSMAN Stamp Ong waited nearly 10 hours to get his Coloured Silver Commemorative Coin issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in conjunction with the World Team Table Tennis Championships 2016.

Ong, 40, waited opposite the bank’s Penang branch in Lebuh Light from 11pm on Sunday, so that he could be first in line when the bank’s doors opened at 8.45am.
