KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 17): “Cash is King,” said a prominent local politician not too long ago. And it looks like some termites agree with him.
Sin Chew Daily reported recently that “a Malaysian man” found that his “dozens” of RM100 and RM1 notes have been eaten by termites.
The man’s sad moment was also recorded in a video on the Facebook page/group dubbed “We Are Malaysians”.
He was seen crying “while attempting to arrange” his destroyed money.
“All my money has turned soft,” the Chinese language daily reported him saying in Hokkien.
Some of his friends tried consoling him, asking the slightly poorer chap to gather the compromised notes in a plastic bag and “take it to the bank and see”.
In August, the Jakarta Post reported a similar incident when an Indonesian lady’s “millions of rupiah” bills became a source of food for termites.
Putri Buddin, 23, told the Indonesian daily that the money was stored inside the cabinet last year for her grandmother, who has recently passed away.
