KOTA KINABALU: When the government announced jewellery shops were allowed to open during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) period last year as part of essential services, pictures of long queues form outside pawn shops all over the country went viral.
In Sabah, long queues were not only spotted in pawn shops but also jewellery shops, where people mostly women have been waiting outside the door as early as 8am.
Before the end of 2020, a dip in the precious gold prices not only attracted the older generation to add their “investment” but young Sabahans also showed their interest to be more investment savvy.
It is normal to see small business owners such as online sellers, tamu traders, hawkers and night market seller going to pawnshops and trade their gold.
Pos Malaysia under its subsidiary Pos ArRahnu provides an Islamic pawnbroking (Ar-Rahnu) business, a syariah-based pawnbroking system for short-term collateralised borrowing.
For short-term loans, Pos ArRahnu is the best option as borrower can get up to 75% margin of financing with low safe keeping fees. Pos Arrahnu offers up to RM250,000 financing per borrower.
Apart from providing one-stop gold service such as pawn broking services, selling gold bars, used gold buyback service, Pos Arrahnu also provides other ancillary services such as storage and cleaning of gold and help to calculate zakat for gold for free.
Sabahans, like many other Malaysians choosing Pos ArRahnu because the service is free from any ‘riba’ (interest) element, and riba is prohibited in Islam.
