It\u2019s not an entirely new thing and it has been around for a few years, but many people don\u2019t know about it.<\/p> \n<!--more--><p>It\u2019s estimated that up until now, <a href=\"https:\/\/says.com\/my\/lifestyle\/here-s-how-you-can-check-whether-the-government-is-keeping-your-money\">there is around RM8.75 billion worth of unclaimed money<\/a> being kept by the government. Where does this money come from, you ask? Anywhere, actually!<\/p> \n<p>This amount of money is an accumulation from bank accounts that were left dormant, unpaid salaries, insurance, and so on.<\/p> \n<h2>There\u2019s a government portal just for this<\/h2> \n<p>The government body that is in charge of handling this is Jabatan Akauntan Negara, also known as the Account General\u2019s Department. They came up with an online system, known as e-Gumis (which stands for &nbsp;Electronic Government Unclaimed Money Information System) to facilitate the checking and claiming of money from the government.<\/p> \n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to use this system, here\u2019s a short guide for you:<\/p> \n<h3>Step 1: Go to the e-Gumis website and create an account<\/h3> \n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/egumis.anm.gov.my\/\">here<\/a> to browse the website. You can switch between Bahasa Malaysia and English. You\u2019ll find the registration button on the top right hand corner.
