A lot of malaysians are actually cash rich. Cash coming from undisclosed source.

In most countries, credit card is widely accepted and is a safe method to spend money with minimal charge (not a lot of difference as compared to money changer), however people still prefer to bring cash is actually questionable.

The only reason i can think of is money laundering.

Don't kecam la.
Who stay in oversea for 1 year and not use atm?

Cash is for backup and is much safer in case.

Electronic transfer is not reliable. And you're in a foreign country.

That depends on bank right. And one time i used cc to withdraw, my charges was around rm50.

But if you withdraw a huge sum, like myr5k and above, rm10 fees is neglible to me.

We can withdraw money what using CC or debit card in foreign Atm

Very true.

Yesterday while at Mr DIY, their eWallet system crashed and unable to pay by any eWallet. Many just left the items and came back with cash.

Myself only pay cash so no biggie.

There u have it. CC or DC any time more reliable. As for eWallet? Hhmm, only time will tell.

this WoW me...

CC/DC is also electronic transfer. Please keep in mind.

using Touch N Go as a benchmark for eWallet Tech also a big no no.
just like using Perodua Car as a benchmark....

Touch n GO, if not, the world worst eWallet/prepard card Company on this planet.

GrabPay, MaE, Shopee Pay all perform much better (stable)

CC or DC under the bank network is certainly more reliable than any start-up wannabe payment processing companies.

I beg to differ. Yes cash for backup. But CC payment is more reliable. Flaunting cash in foreign country is as dangerous as it gets.

But depends on destination also.

My rule of thumb when traveling.

Cash for eating and transport. Or buy groceries from the small stall.

CC for hotel, shopping, and big sum payment.

Always have a US$ cash for backup. And 2pcs CC.

That depends on bank right. And one time i used cc to withdraw, my charges was around rm50.
