RHB Will Not Compound Interest During Moratorium Period


Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 27 March 2020 – RHB Banking Group (“RHB”) announced that it will not be compounding interest during the six-months repayment deferment for banking facilities (“Moratorium”) that was announced by Bank Negara Malaysia on 25 March 2020.

This will, however, be applicable to Retail and SME customers only and will take effect from 1 April 2020.

For Islamic financing, RHB will continue to observe the principle of no compounding of profit.

The Moratorium will apply automatically to all RHB Bank and RHB Islamic Retail and SME
customers, with the exception of loans/financing facilities that are in arrears exceeding 90 days as
on 1 April 2020. Key highlights of the Moratorium are as follows:


  • The Moratorium will take effect from 1 April 2020, for a period of 6 months;
  • Customers who do not wish to avail of the Moratorium may simply continue to pay
  • their regular instalments;
  • As an additional benefit, interest for all Retail and SME banking facilities will not be
  • compounded during the Moratorium period.
  • In line with Shariah principles, profit on Islamic financing will not be compounded;
  • Instalment payment amounts will remain unchanged upon uplifting of the
  • Moratorium;
  • Loan/financing tenors under the Moratorium will be extended for 6 months.
  • For credit card facilities, customers may request to convert the outstanding balances into a 3-year
  • term loan with reduced interest rates.


These measures will help to ease the cash flow of individuals and SMEs and would provide the
much needed breathing space for customers to re-assess their financial positions, particularly those
directly affected by COVID-19.
“These additional measures introduced by BNM in partnership with the banking industry provides critical relief to ease the financial burden of individuals and businesses, particularly the SMEs duringthis extremely challenging period.  
Further details on the repayment deferment and restructuringmhas been made available on our corporate website,” said Dato’ Khairussaleh Ramli, Group Managing Director, RHB Banking Banking group.

Accidents caused by heavy vehicles are a growing threat to road safety

  The frequent occurrence of accidents involving trucks and trailers in Malaysia has become a pressing concern, highlighting systemic issues within the country's transportation and enforcement systems.  These heavy vehicles, essential for the logistics and supply chain sectors, have been implicated in numerous fatal accidents, often due to negligence, poor maintenance, or inadequate oversight. One of the glaring problems is the lack of enforcement on overloaded trucks. Overloading not only compromises the stability of these vehicles but also accelerates wear and tear on roads, increasing the risk of accidents.  Despite stringent regulations, enforcement remains inconsistent, allowing errant operators to prioritize profits over public safety. Driver fatigue is another critical factor. Many truck drivers endure grueling hours to meet delivery deadlines, often at the expense of rest and alertness.  Without strict adherence to working hour limits and proper monitoring me...

CIA Declassified: Current Situation in Malaya

17 November 1949 SUMMARY Primarily, Malaya is of importance to the US because it is the world's greatest producer of rubber and tin. In 1948 Malaya produced almost half of the total world production of natural rubber and more than a third of the world production of tin. World War II brought forcibly to US attention the importance of these vital commodities to a war-making machine; they retain their importance, if less urgently, in time of peace, and are on the lists of strategic materials designated for US stockpiling.

As such, Malaya's economic position materially affects that of the UK in the Western Alliance and thus affects ERP and other US financial commitments in Europe. Of secondary but considerable importance are Singapore's extensive naval facilities and strategic location on world shipping lanes. Control of the Malayan peninsula, and especially th...
