PETALING JAYA: RHB Bank
Bhd and AmBank Group have scrapped their proposed merger, marking the increasing difficulty in the consolidation of the Malaysian banking sector.

No reasons were given for this but speculation is rife that the merger was not well received by some shareholders of RHB and AmBank.
