Pursuant to Section 13(1)
Unclaimed Monies Act 1965, when the claimant can prove that he/she is the rightful owner of Unclaimed Monies and the
Registrar upon being satisfied that the claimant is the owner of the unclaimed monies shall authorize payment to be made to him.
There
is no minimum amount set by the Registrar.
The Registrar of Unclaimed Monies does not
appoint any individual or company as a middle person or agent in matters
relating to claim of Unclaimed Monies.
In
accordance with Section 10A of the Unclaimed Monies Act, the submission of UM
by the company/firm will be gazetted. The Registrar will submit the submission
record to Percetakan Nasional Malaysia Berhad (PNMB) for the gazetting process.
Once gazetted, the record is open to public disclosure. Gazette documents are
also sold to the public by PNMB apart from being sent to the National Library
of Malaysia for public reference. Based on this gazette information, there are parties
who use it to act as agents. The Registrar and the Ministry of Finance have
never appointed an agent to manage unclaimed monies.
The Registrar has no information other than that which has been
gazetted. Accordingly, the owner must submit a claim application to the
Registrar through the counter, registered post or eGUMIS portal. Any personal
information obtained by the agent such as telephone numbers, emails, etc., may
be obtained from other irresponsible parties. Any misuse of personal information
should refer back to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
Section
10A (1) of the Unclaimed Monies Act 1965 states that companies/firms are
required to submit the unclaimed monies register (UMA3) to the Registrar for
the purpose of gazetting by Percetakan Nasional Berhad. Gazetted unclaimed
monies record shall be kept in the National Library for public reference.
Only
unclaimed monies record that have been gazetted can be viewed and claimed.
