FB post that sent Malaysians into a frenzy


PETALING JAYA: Idah Basri (pic), the woman whose Facebook post on unclaimed money sent Malaysians into a queuing frenzy, never expected to score a RM14,000 “windfall” initially.

The 50-year-old businesswoman made a trip to the Accountant-General’s Department office in Menara Maybank, Kuala Lumpur, to check on problems related to her credit card, only to find out that she had that amount of unclaimed money.
