Bring back RM500 and RM1,000 notes


AS the purchasing power of our ringgit softens by the day, I would like to call upon the Government to reintroduce higher denomination currency notes.

When carrying cash for high value purchases, a wallet consisting of the commonly used RM50 notes is obscenely obese. It would be more elegant if we can have the RM500 and RM1,000 notes like we used to before they ceased to be legal tender in July 1999.
