If you are using PayPal, I believe you should receive an e-mail from Paypal saying that they will terminate personal payment service in Malaysia starting 4th June 2013.
This is not a good new for those who are using PayPal to transfer personal funds to your friends and relatives inside or outside Malaysia, but I wonder how many people did this. However, the good new is, you still can receive personal payment from outside Malaysia.
PayPal stated that they decided to terminate personal payments in Malaysia as part of their business strategy to focus on commercial transactions, but I believe the reason is to stop people from selling PayPal funds.
For more information kindly read FAQs from PayPal regarding this matter below.

RHB Bank recently launch 2 new VISA debit cards namely Cash-Connect & My-Cash-i VISA debit cards. Previously RHB Bank have similar debit card but with Mastercard logo. With the new offering, customers will be able to choose either Debit Card with VISA or Mastercard logo.

As announce earlier on the policy changes, finally Paypal user from Malaysia is able to withdraw their Paypal fund to their Malaysian bank account. This is indeed the most wanted feature dream by them.
Paypal withdrawal to Malaysian bank account will be completely free of charge if the withdrawal amount is equal or above RM400.00 but there will be a nominal fee of RM3.00 if the withdrawal amount is less than RM400.00. The withdrawal will take 2 to 3 business days to be reflected in the bank account. I expect that Paypal is utilizing MEPS network for the fund transfer.
If your Paypal fund is in other currency other than Malaysian Ringgit, Paypal will automatically convert it for you with 2.5 percent exchange fee.
