Previously, we reported that the currency converter widget on Google is not showing again after it briefly disappeared during the whole wrong USD to MYR conversion fiasco. Now, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has revealed the reason behind the feature being disabled by Google, as informed by the company to him.

Previously, we reported on how the Malaysian government is requesting an explanation from Google after Google Finance erroneously showed an incorrect exchange rate of the United States Dollar (USD) to the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR).
