All bank are supposed to received soiled notes and send to Bank Negara for cancellation and burn. This way currency in circulation will remain fresh. The Bank Officer is lazy. He doesn’t want to send the soil note to BNM branch in Kuching.

Use the RM50 to buy something. Probably add a new other notes to hide the inked area :p

Bank maybe restrict sikit lah pasal ni. Guna je duit untuk beli barang kat shopping complex atau bayar tol, should be ok

I wonder about the leadership of Malaysia. They insist in reminding the world they are a 3rd would country? An ink smudge?

Use the note to buy things from somewhere else. I am sure they will not check so detail especially at the supermarket.

Those little ink smudges shouldn’t be a problem. Not if they drew a moustache and spectacles on the poor Agong’s face…or they wrote 4-D numbers! Go withdraw RM50 through their ATM…and when they refuse to accept, u insist that u got it through their ATM machine!!! And threaten to call the newspapers!!! To avoid bad publicity, they’d probably take it from u! (And don’t tell anybody I taught u that! Ha ha ha ha ha!!)

Thanks.

Some useful information

Go to Bank Negara Malaysia”> and click on “Procedures and Guidelines for Assessment of Mutilated Notes and Defaced Notes”. So what the counter guy said is true.

BUT! You can exchange it, according to FAQs on M’sian Currency – click on “Where can I exchange mutilated banknotes?”

You have two choices, either go to BNM to exchange it, or use it at your local shops
