When departing, he or she is allowed to carry out Ringgit notes not exceeding RM1,000.00 and foreign currency notes (including
travellers cheques) not exceeding the amount brought in.
The Malaysian currency is the Ringgit (RM), which is divided into 100 sen. Ringgit notes are in denominations of RM100, RM50,
