Bank denies rejecting cheque for being 'non-halal'

SEREMBAN: Bank Muamalat Malaysia has denied claims that it refused to accept a cheque from a customer here last week because it was "non-halal."

Its head of banking operations Muhamad Radzuan Rahman said the bank initially rejected the cheque as the name of the payee as written was not the same as the one registered in its system.
