Public outcry over impending RM1 interbank transaction fee


GEORGE TOWN: The public is seeking the government’s intervention over the impending return of the RM1 transaction fee for interbank ATM withdrawals this coming February, arguing that many are still grappling with the loss of income after two years into the Covid-19 pandemic.

Civil servant Chew Kok Rui, 29, said such a move should not be reintroduced at this juncture, urging the government to step in to ease the public’s burden.
