A Thai restaurant owner in Malaysia revealed that a Thai woman, who disappeared on March 8, has been arrested by Malaysian police. She is reportedly safe but will be unable to contact her family until her interrogation is complete.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has sought clarification from Google concerning the erroneous exchange rate data showing the ringgit against the US dollar at RM4.98, as displayed by the search engine on Friday, given the recurrence of similar inaccuracies in the past.

He said the inaccurate data circulating on social media was a worrying sign that had caused misunderstanding among Malaysians. Fahmi said as the government strives to boost the country's economic growth and inspire investor confidence, such fundamental discrepancies should not arise.He also thanked BNM for the prompt explanation regarding the inaccurate data on Saturday.

The central bank explained that on Friday, the ringgit was quoted at 4.7015 against the US$ at 9am and 4.7045 at 5pm, with an intraday high of 4.7075 in the onshore interbank market for ringgit, as published on the BNM website.
