林祥才率国行职员突击 灵少数银行未获配新钞

（八打灵再也31日讯） 由于较早前不少公众投诉无法在银行换到新钞应节，财政部副部长拿督林祥才今天亲自率领国家银行职员突击巡视八打灵再也几间银行。

他一共巡视了6间银行，包括马来亚银行、渣打银行、大马银行、大众银行、汇丰银行及大华银行，并一一向银行职员及公众了解情况。

他过后向媒体表示对整体情况感到满意，不过，发现仍有两间银行无法提供新钞让公众兑换，即大马银行及汇丰银行。

林祥才说，国家银行已分派新钞到各银行总部，银行方面必须良好管理，确保各分行都获得新钞。

须改善管理

他说，无法提供新钞的银行必须改善管理，因为明天是吉隆坡公共假期，将有更多公众前来雪兰莪地区银行更换新钞。

“明天是联邦直辖区日，吉隆坡的银行都没有营业，相信会有很多人趁假期到八打灵再也或其他雪州地区的银行更换新钞。”

无论如何，他相信国内银行在处理兑换新钞问题方面，都已有足够经验。

林祥才指出，公众有任何投诉，可拨打热线1300-88-5465或03-26987689，也可查询哪间银行有充足新钞让兑换。

国家银行货币管理及营运部主任南礼沙亚说，雪隆、槟城及柔佛三个华人密集的州属都有足够新钞供应，不过，游子众多的雪隆地区需求较多，因此出现新钞不够兑换问题。

不满银行不让兑换10元新钞

林祥才发现一间银行虽已获分派10令吉新钞，但仍贴出“只能兑换1令吉及50令吉新钞”的通告。

他表示不满，质问为何不让人们兑换10令吉新钞？

指通告未及拿下

银行职员解释说，10令吉新钞刚派到，通告未及拿下。

一些银行职员告诉林祥才，他们是截至今天才拿到新钞供人们兑换，之前只有旧钞，客户情愿不换。

Government To Monitor Foreign Inflow Of Funds Into Stock Market

The government is closely monitoring the substantial inflow of foreign funds into the current bullish stock market which has been setting new records since the beginning of the year.

"The government is very concerned and we are monitoring these realtime transactions online.

"We can monitor these inflows as they need to go through local investment banks before they enter the market and banks are obligated to inform Bank Negara Malaysia about these inflows," Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai told reporters after launching the Virtual Digital Mall here Friday.

He said the country practiced a free economic policy and the government could not control the outflow and inflow of funds into the country, but it was taking steps to persuade the funds to stay in the country for sometime before cashing out.

"If we know any substantial fund that is heading into the country, we can engage the fund managers and promote Malaysia as an ideal country to park their money for the long-term and still expand their portfolio and profits.

"At the moment, with the state of liquidity in our market, I think we are strong enough to withstand any unforeseen circumstances, in addition to our foreign reserves which, as at Dec 15, 2010, stood at US$106 billion.

He added BNM was working very closely with other central banks in the region to manage and handle hot money that was flowing into the region currently.

On the launch of the Virtual Digital Mall, Lim said the government was pleased as it was in line with efforts to develop an e-commerce industry in Malaysia.

The Virtual Mall is an e-commerce platform developed by SM Digital Mall Sdn Bhd and is the first digital mall operator in Malaysia to offer e-commerce for its tenants and customers.

SM Digital Mall is the manager of the Digital Mall located in Section 14, Petaling Jaya.

"We currently have 20 tenants already in our virtual digital mall, and we intend to bring on board more by year-end from our current pool of 100 tenants in Digital Mall," said Executive Director Eric Seow.

He added the company was providing a new business platform and opportunity to its tenants for free aimed at empowering both large and small tenants business presence beyond the physical outlet.

強拆蕉賴11哩支會會所，馬華訴加影市會張念群

（無拉港4日訊）雪州馬華將針對拆除已有30年歷史的蕉賴11哩馬華公會支會會所事件，採取法律行動起訴加影市議會和沙登區國會議員張念群，同時要求后者向馬華道歉。

林祥才說，他不否認上述會所地段不是馬華所有，但該會所在當地存在了30年，當初是由當地領袖與居民籌款興建。

“即使馬華在此區沒有功勞，也有苦勞，當法庭于2010年9月24日指示市議會收回收地通告和交鎖匙的函件，他們沒有另行通知下強行採取行動。”

要求張念群道歉

林祥才今早在蕉賴11哩把1萬令吉撥款移交給神廟天尊宮理事后表示，將針對此風波採取法律行動，起訴加影市議會及沙登區國會議員張念群，並要求后者向馬華道歉。

“執法人員在2010年12月24日凌晨漏夜前來拆會所，連國家元首的肖像也被漏夜撤下，此做法對國家君主是否尊重？”

林祥才說，馬華是民主行動黨的對手，不是敵人，張念群等人應學習尊重對手，他促請行動黨領袖包括國會領袖林吉祥和秘書長林冠英及黨元老，“教育”新晉國、州議員，尤其是張念群。

他說，若非民聯議員強硬要求，市議會執法人員不會急于在半夜採取行動；身為議員，有義務告知執法人員，這種沒有另行通知便採取行動的做法是不對的。

“他們在大選勝出后目中無人，連國家元首也不放在眼裡。”

他說，馬華是講道理和守法的政黨，一切按照法庭指示行事，如果市議會再發出通告，馬華仍將上法庭挑戰有關通告。
