They are counting on Malaysians being stupid. Malaysians never protest about anything. All just follow only.

And they know how Malaysians keep buying new phones.

The whole problem is the thinking.

It for security reason. Alot macau scam happening. Can't compare to Singapore. Do you heard any news about Singaporean got macau scam? Here, it in the news almost daily

Just because SG hasn't implemented does not mean we made a bad move.
This measure is from BNM, so all MY banks are in the midst of complying.

And this is one area BNM is ahead of MAS in implementing. If we are behind SG, always kena complain. In the things we are ahead of SG, also kena criticise.

At the end of the day, is a good measure to protect all consumers. Change with the times.
Face it. Your OS is obsolete and needs to be upgraded as a security measure.

Singapore banking app for Malaysian bank (CIMB, UOB MIGHTY, etc all useless one).

Real Singapore bank app like UOB, DBS, OCBC all need latest software. Even UOB in SG dont use the MIGHTY app, but change to the TMRW app already...uncle you abit slow la

As long as got enough people like you, that's why they can keep doing all this. No offense.

It's not just Singapore. Many other countries the same bank doesn't do this.

I can go to Google Play on my very "ancient" phone and search for this or that bank app. Works in many countries. Just not Malaysia.

Align with PAStard philosophy, radically ban root of cause, problem solved🍿😁

TS, kasi pukul sama KingArthur6

Hehe not my company la I’m just a vendor to the company that does work on that. It’s funny how people aren’t suspicious how come all the banks and BNM suddenly within one year want to phase out SMS completely and move to this app push approach. What’s crazy is there are no BNM audits or external audits on the banks’ implementation. So this is just mass hacking waiting to happen.

you can thanks MySJ for opening the pandora box..

flash your rom to the latest android
go to xda forums to read up

I got no problem with the requirement since all my phones already on Android 10 and above.

My last phone Android 8 was the Moto Z2 and already retired last year due to battery bloat. Ain't gonna spend money to replace the battery. Another is the Galaxy Note FE. Still working but I use it exclusively for Chromecast.

For banking, I used the OnePlus 7 Pro which already updated to Android 12. Will use it for many years to come.

Next phone I'm eyeing will be the Nothing Phone 1. Still no used one in the market.

Reinstall apps on the new phone is no biggie. Android allows migration from one phone to another easily. Only need to reauthorize back. So, unless u don't keep your passwords offline like I do, it is time to do it.

When I migrated from OnePlus 5 to OnePlus 7 Pro, it took me 2 hours to migrate all the apps over and another 30 mins to reauthorize all the banking and wallet apps back. Both phones were of 256GB variety and already 60% full.

that doesn't mean other countries are more superior, there's a thing you need to consider, how prevalent e-wallet usage is in those countries when compared to here?

BNM is merely trying to minimise the chance of consumers getting cyber-scammed whatsoever here

Use BSN

They still use TAC and u dont need bank app

Me pakai pbe then accidentally clean up caches including login, then now need to visit bank ATM again for activation mmg cibai

Your standard reply is u tak suka u, keluar right? It is institutionalized racism like your words which held back this country from moving forward and creating lots of enemies from around the world.

I wouldn't fall for the trick of the corrupted parties behind this lame excuse blaming it all on older versions of Android OS.

For all you know someone or a corrupted party is actually lobbying behind BNM to push for this move to force Malaysians to upgrade and change their phones for sales. It could be anyone including foreign corporations from the Android camp.

You know there's more to this scam cartel in Malaysia. Don't just blame it all on BNM's directions.

Instead why not address corrupted and insiders in the banking IT depts and contractors who leaks out the databases? Also go about more creative ways in securing the entire transaction experience like multi level authentication with high amount of transaction value such as above 10k? Electronic version of the Secure Transact tokens generator which can only be installed on a single device at any one time for each account login?

It's been known tactic used by Google to force planned obsolescence on their Android devices. The thing is 3rd world countries like Malaysia are more susceptible to fall prey to such practices than first world countries because of inexperienced governance who listens to experts on their sides.

That's the thing, when you try to pay peanuts with limited budget allocation for important solutions things like this happens.

Where are the supposed trial testers and auditors that gave feedback about the planned obsolescence to force them on Android 10 above? Did they do a survey or check which Android version most of their customers were one before making decisions?

They really think Singaporean companies were less competent than them? Before they proceeded to force the apps on Android 10 user with newer versions of the app why immediately blocked out the old app immediately?
Why not still allow the old app to run alongside the new, push the update out and wait for feedbacks before shutting it down the older version once everything runs smoothly?

That way you don't lock the incompatible users out immediately.

Nah, I only stick to official Global versions of ROMs for my phones so that my warranty won't be voided.

easily bypass by

download huawei app store
download the huawei version of bank app on ur phone.

settled

If you can't afford phone with Android 10 and above, the bank knows you are just little fish and matters very little to them.

One foreign bank with a "good reputation" allows their app to be used even on VERY ancient phones in India, and China.

But not in Malaysia.
