The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has revealed that as of 31 January 2025, there’s a total of RM12.7 billion in unclaimed money in Malaysia. The Ministry elaborated that this figure is based on what was recorded by the Accountant-General’s Department (AGD).
Bernama reported that MOF, in a written reply on the Parliament website, disclosed the figure in response to a question from S Kesavan (PH-Sungai Siput) on the latest amount of unclaimed money and the process involved in claiming it, as well as the steps taken by the government to inform the owners or heirs about it. For the latter, MOF said that individuals who are entitled to the money, or heirs, can submit their claim application online via the official eGUMIS portal at https://egumis.anm.gov.my/ or go to the AGD counter in the states.
Besides that, MOF is actively holding awareness campaigns, online briefings and periodic announcements via national TV channels, so that more owners or heirs are aware of the existence of the money. To facilitate the claim process, the WTD check and refund counter service has been expanded to 24 state AGDs and branches nationwide, in addition to the AGD counter in Putrajaya and at UTC Pudu.
