Hari ini 59 tahun yang lalu, mata wang Ringgit mula digunakan secara rasmi sebagai mata wang baharu Malaysia.

Terma 'ringgit' sebenarnya sudah digunakan sejak lebih 500 tahun lalu, apabila Portugis tiba di tanah ini memakai mata wang dolar Sepanyol. Namun orang tempatan memanggilnya ringgit, yang bermaksud bergerigi, kerana bentuk duit syiling Sepanyol yang begitu.

Apabila menjadi tanah jajahan British, mata wang Tanah Melayu pada asalnya adalah Dolar Selat, kemudian menjadi Dolar Malaya pada 1938 & Dolar Borneo British apabila pentadbiran Sarawak, Borneo Utara (Sabah) & Labuan diambil alih oleh British.

Selepas pembentukan Persekutuan Malaysia pada 1963, mata wang Dolar masih dipakai. Namun apabila Singapura & Brunei keluar daripada gagasan itu membentuk negara sendiri, masing-masing menggunakan mata wang sendiri & Malaysia bertukar kepada Ringgit.

Pada 29 April 1967, Menteri Kewangan Tun Tan Siew Sin mempersembahkan rekaan mata wang baharu yang hadir dalam lima denominasi iaitu $1, $5, $10, $50 dan $100, begitu juga syiling 1 sen, 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen dan 50 sen.

Wang baharu yang ditempah dari London tiba di Port Swettenham (Pelabuhan Klang) pada 17 Mei, dengan kawalan ketat melibatkan 19 kenderaan tentera ia kemudian dibawa ke Pejabat Mata Wang Bank Negara Malaysia di Batu Tiga, Shah Alam & disimpan di situ sebelum diagihkan.

Sehari sebelum digunakan secara rasmi, Gabenor Bank Negara, Tan Sri Ismail Mohd Ali mempersembahkan album set wang Ringgit pertama bernombor siri A00001 kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah.

Lambang M$ digunakan pada awalnya sebelum ditukar kepada RM pada 1 Disember 1992. Di peringkat antarabangsa, Ringgit Malaysia diwakili dengan kod MYR.

WHEN SINGAPORE SOUNDS THE ALARM, MALAYSIA SHOULD PAY ATTENTION !
Singapore's Prime Minister has warned that the full economic impact of the Middle East conflict has yet to be felt. The concern is not merely about oil prices. It is about inflation, supply chain disruptions, trade flows, consumer confidence, investment decisions, energy costs & slower global economic growth.
This warning should not be dismissed lightly.
Singapore is not known for creating panic. It is known for planning ahead. It has one of the highest GDP per capita levels in the world, a strong currency, substantial sovereign reserves & a long track record of prudent economic management. When Singapore openly warns about potential economic turbulence ahead, sensible govt's pay attention.
If a country with stronger fiscal resources & greater economic resilience than Malaysia is preparing for tougher times ahead, then Malaysia should be asking some serious questions.
As todate, much of our political discourse today appears focused on GE16 calculations, state election strategies, coalition negotiations, seat allocations, political alliances & positioning for the next election.
Rakyat deserve better.

@anwaribrahim @tzafrul_aziz @DrZahidHamidi @MuhyiddinYassin @abdulhadiawang - Malaysians need clarity on the next 12 months, not the next election.
Rakyat deserve answers-

- What is Malaysia's economic resilience plan if the Middle East conflict escalates further?

- What measures are being prepared to contain inflation & rising living costs?

- What is the contingency plan if global oil prices surge beyond expectations?

- Will fuel subsidy rationalisation proceed as planned, be delayed or be reviewed?

- Will electricity tariffs increase further, & what protections are being considered for households & businesses?

- If subsidies are reduced, what additional protection will be provided to the B40 & M40 groups?

- What measures are being put in place to ensure food security & stable supply chains?

- What support can SMEs expect if global demand weakens?

- What is the govt's plan to safeguard jobs, wages & household incomes?

- How will Malaysia continue attracting investments amid growing global uncertainty?

- What concrete measures will be announced in the upcoming Budget to prepare Malaysia for a potentially challenging year ahead?

Reality is simple.

- Families are worried about the cost of living.

- Businesses are worried about rising costs.

- Investors are worried about uncertainty.

Young Malaysians are worried about jobs, wages & opportunities.

None of them wake up every morning worrying about coalition mathematics, party defections or who gets which seat in the next election.

Leadership is not about preparing for GE16.

Leadership is about preparing the nation for what may happen tomorrow.

If Singapore is preparing despite having stronger finances, stronger institutions & greater economic resilience than Malaysia, then our leaders should spend less time discussing elections & more time explaining how they intend to protect Malaysians over the next 12 months.

The Middle East conflict does not care about coalition negotiations, seat allocations or election strategies.

Global economic shocks arrive whether politicians are ready or not.

Malaysia does not need another year of political manoeuvring.

Malaysia needs a national economic resilience plan.

Because when the storm arrives, voters will not ask who won the political arguments.

They will ask who saw it coming, who prepared for it, & who protected the rakyat when it mattered most.

The next 12 months may be more important than GE16 itself.

Less talk about elections.

More talk about protecting jobs, incomes, subsidies, food security, investments & the Malaysian economy.

Rakyat deserve to know one thing-

What is Malaysia's plan before the storm arrives?

🚨 so let me get this straight..

Iran and the US were 95% done with a deal..

drafts were being traded back and forth through Pakistani mediators as recently as last week..

and then Israel expanded its Lebanon ground assault while the texts were still being exchanged..

Iran had one precondition since February.. full IDF withdrawal from Lebanon and a halt in Gaza before any deal closes.. that was the line..

Israel crossed it.. while the deal was still being written..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..

the US kept messaging over the weekend asking Iran to reopen the strait.. Iran stopped responding.. because the precondition wasn't met.. and they had warned about this exact scenario since April..

so now the deal is dead.. the Pakistan back-channel is offline.. and Iran and the Resistance Front are planning to fully block the Strait of Hormuz..

Bab al-Mandab may be next..

Brent crude is already at $96..

a deal that was one signature away just got killed by a military operation that happened while the drafts were still open on someone's desk..

Iran didn't walk away from diplomacy.. it enforced the one condition everyone decided to ignore.

I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

@Marchfoward Ada kemungkinan mereka tak pasang FPD (Fall Prevention Devices) sebelum naik dan buat maintenance kat lifeboat tu. Banyak incident mcmni terjadi masa lifeboat maintenance and testing.
