Posing as a 16-year-old, a man befriended a 12-year-old girl on Instagram, and subsequently persuaded her to meet him on four occasions, where he engaged in sexual acts with her.
KUALA LUMPUR: About RM58bil of Malaysia’s trade with three trading partners is transacted in ringgit, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“This is an encouraging development although long way to go as there has yet to be action from other countries. Vietnam and Cambodia had given acknowledgement through the local currency settlement framework which was inked during the 43rd Association of South-East Asian Nations Summit in Jakarta recently,” he said.
Meanwhile, Malaysia only increased its overnight policy rate with 125 basis points. The US Fed rate hike which strengthened the US Dollar had taken a toll on the strength of regional currencies. Anwar said the greenback is still the main and strongest currency when it comes to international trade and many countries have chosen to use the US Dollar.
