Efforts must be made to return unclaimed monies to rightful owners, says Lee Lam Thye

KUALA LUMPUR: A whopping sum of RM11bil of monies belonging to the rakyat remains unclaimed, as of last month, and should be returned to the rightful owners, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said the monies owed to the public by companies had since passed to the Accountant-General’s Department, which is the custodian under the Unclaimed Moneys Act of 1965.
