As the time flies and political as well as societal changes come into play, so does the value of the green note and its layout. More than just mere necessity and ever changing, income is often said to mirror the changes in a society. As a country that had been colonized by the Portuguese, invaded by the Japanese and former part of British Empire, Malaysia boast a wide range of banking option.
Having our very own central bank, the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), in the motherland is considered as the mile stone of the country development, as central bank play a part as the national currency and money supply to maintain the stability of the country.
*Left: This is how BNM actually look like =)
Let's see... What did we discover from our visit?
1) BNM is "SUPER" generous where they serve us Nothing at all. No refreshment as well as souvenirs. =(
2) BNM has a lot of restricted areas, EVEN THE CANTEEN! We are actually not allowed to taste the meals that are served there. Or rather, give us the chance to feed our starving guts. But thanks God that the washrooms are not under one of the restricted areas...
3) Islamic Banking!
- "Islamic banking is not meant for Muslims only but is for all individuals regardless of their religious beliefs," says Kush, a speaker and senior officer at the BNM who enlighten the students about the wide benefits of Islamic Banking. "Over the years, numerous western countries like China has been adopting the concept of Islamic Banking. In fact, nearly 60% of the Islamic banking clients in Malaysia are actually non-Muslim.? Kush continues.
What so special about Islamic banking ...?
- Unlike conventional banking, Islamic banking have No Interest Charges! For example, instead of charging interest on financing given out, Islamic banks give financing based on musyarakah and will share any profit and loss. =)
As the globalization of world marketing continues to grow, so will the Islamic banking industry. So start learning everything you need to know about Islamic banking, for you never know that you might be the qualified Islamic banker who seeks by everyone at any place around the world in the next 4 years. As banking industry may experience a shift from conventional to Islamic banking.

Taking pictures can be a magical experience, especially when you share the experience with someone who is able to appreciate the beauty of the scenery. This was certainly the case for Kuala Lumpur Lake Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana) as they offered a charming engaging and beautiful park and garden that built around an artificial lake of undulating greenery interspersed with flowering shrubs.
Since pictures speaks louder than words, here's a teaser on the fantastic tour around KL Lake Garden, the colorful Orchid Garden and Hibiscus Garden, as well as the Magical free-flight walk in KL Bird Park that dominates very much of local and foreigner's interests.
Orchid Garden
- Located at the highest point of Lake Garden, Orchid Garden is surrounded by lush greeneries whereby it was set up as a showcase of varieties of the most beautiful orchid in the world. Approximately 50,000 species of orchid were found in the garden, and over 800 species were from Malaysia alone.
I personally love this orchid. 'Cause, to me, it look like lady in yellow dress xD
Beautiful isn't it? =)
Hibiscus Garden
- Just a stone throw away is the Hibiscus Garden, where you'll be given a chance to experience strikingly colorful panorama of countless varieties of hibiscus grown there.
I named this picture as "1 in a Million" 'cause there's only one RED hibiscus while the rest is PINK :)
Aww... It feels shy... =P
Hey! Can't you read?! It's written there " Do not pluck flower and throw rubbish ? " oppss... My bad =X
Lake Garden
- KL Lake Garden provides a big recreational area for city folks who need time off from the normal routine and the busy city.
Build around 2 lakes with many other attractions, this flourishing greeneries garden have jogging track, exercise stations, children's playground, and rowing boats; definitely a perfect spot for those who need to sweat it out and rest their mind.
Wau... A reflection, weii... How often do you have the chance to view such a reflective lake? :)
You can even rent a rowing boat here to experience the beauty of mother nature.
Seriously, if you have any idea what this is, please don't be shy to let me know... 'Cause no one from my class actually knows what this is!
Cute yet scary... They actually tried to poke my lens when I'm trying to take a close up shot 0_0
KL Bird Park
- "Entering the door of KL Bird Park is as if you are stepping into an enormous bird cage, where visitors will have a chance to witness at close proximity various bird species living together as a perfectly balance community in this semi-natural environment. Kl Bird Park is home to over 3000 birds of 200 local and foreign birds species. - unknown author, www.klbirdpark.com"
I personally like Steppe Eagle =)
Too bad that I couldn't play with it =(
Surprisingly, this handsome peacock was in his roots for showing off his tail when I pointed the camera at him. The next famous celebrity maybe?
