Recently, the Royal Malaysia Police Facebook page shared an important notice from the National Savings Bank (BSN) alerting Malaysians about ink-stained banknotes.
According to their notice, BSN clarified why these ink-stained banknotes should never be accepted in cash transactions;
- The ink-stained notes were probably stolen from ATMs
- They do not carry any value and therefore cannot be replaced
In the event that you do come across these notes, BSN advises to not accept them and promptly lodge a police report for the authorities to take appropriate action.
