A Bank Negara official said the Bank welcomes efforts of the shopping complexes to calibrate the auto pay machines to accept new banknotes for the convenience of the public.
“By having the sticker pasted on the top right of the machine, it will indicate that the machine is ready to accept new banknotes” said a Bank Negara official at the event at Mid-Valley Megamall.
The mall has 22 auto-pay stations which were calibrated a day before the new notes were issued.
Carpark Manager Mohammed Rodzi Jaafar said Mid-Valley was one of the 28 shopping malls which already had auto pay stations that can accept the new notes.
He said the mall planned to add another eight machines, bringing the total to 30 machines, by year-end.
A housewife, Shannon Lim Sin Chi, 32, of Cheras said she did not see the sticker at auto pay machines in other shopping malls.
She said the auto-pay stations at Mid-Valley Megamall was up-to-date in terms of giving their best service to customers.
On July 16, the central bank had advised all relevant parties to expedite their machine calibration to accept the new banknotes for the convenience of the public.
