Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is seeking public opinion on the usage of RM1 banknote. The survey conducted by BNM is intended to measure public opinion on the use of RM1, which is the lowest currency denomination Malaysia. The survey took about 5 minutes to finish (I finish it under 1 minute). The survey has been released since 13 May 2010 by Department of Currency Management and Operations, BNM. BNM said that this survey is important in helping BNM to determine the substrate of a new RM1 banknote.
What I can see from the survey is that so many question about Polymer banknote. Look like most probably the new RM1 banknote will be in polymer? or BNM already produce them and just asked people opinion as a hint to what the new banknote will be? There is no option for any kind of substrate that people can choose that they will like for a new RM1 banknote. It is no point asking a question, if you already printed the answer BNM.
Malaysian never had any RM1 polymer before why BNM asked question like:
BNM should asked people opinion about current RM5 polymer not something that does not exist yet. There is no option for language in this survey. If you cannot read Malay, then most probably you cannot join this survey.
