theringgit traces Malaysian public and corporate money to the document it came from: the annual report, the budget line, the gazetted order, the Act itself. Every piece opens with the documents it rests on, so you can check the work.
Before Malaysia's budget pays for a single service, RM210 billion of it is already spent
Bank Negara's own daily rate table, 2015 to 2025: what the ringgit did against fourteen currencies, and why the start date decides the answer.
Malaysia's median citizen earned RM2,793 a month in 2024. Measured in 2010 ringgit it was RM2,103. Both figures are DOSM's own.
Retail space grew four and a half times faster than the population since 2010, and the formats emptying are the small ones you live near.
Sarawak produces 29% more per person than the national average and earns 22% less per household. Sabah and Terengganu don't fit the pattern at all.

Compare loans, savings and cards on what they really cost, and work out your own tax, EPF and loan payments. Every rate links to the bank's own page, with the date we last checked it where our data has one.
Every personal loan we track, ranked by what it really costs you each month.
Fixed deposit and savings rates side by side, each linked to the bank's own page.
Find the card that pays you back most for how you actually spend.
Each section is a strand of the same story — where the money is raised, who holds it, and what it buys.
Petronas, Petros, Sarawak and Sabah. Who produces the oil and gas, who collects the revenue, and what the statutes actually say about the split.
Wages, groceries, rent, fuel, cars and children, priced against Malaysia's own household data rather than against a feeling.
Malls, tolls, casinos and the funds that own the market. What the filings say about who holds what, and what that concentration costs.
A currency only moves against something else. What the ringgit has actually done, what Bank Negara recorded at the time, and what it changes at the shelf.
The federal budget is a public document almost nobody opens. Subsidies, consumption tax, the civil service bill, and where a ringgit of spending lands.
