The dollar of the Federation of Malaysia and Borneo was the official currency of the country until 1967, the year in which it was replaced by the Malaysian dollar. Malaysia had an agreement with Singapore and Borneo so that their currencies had the same value, but the country left that agreement behind in 1973.
Already in 1993 the Malaysian currency abandoned the dollar symbology and adopted the current RM symbol, which remains until today.

Euro to Malaysian Ringgit exchange rate November 2019
As you can see, the exchange rate in recent years has fluctuated between 4.5 and 4.8 ringgit per euro, but keep in mind that this graph represents the value of the Malaysian ringgit “currency” against the euro, and not the of the actual paper currency (the bills), which is lower. In fact, in the currency suppliers in Spain you can buy ringgit at an exchange rate of 4.11 MYR, for every euro. Nothing to do with the euro-ringgit currency exchange.
So, when you see these values in Google and other currency converters with your mobile, keep this in mind:
-This is an unofficial price, and therefore, unreliable. That is, if you click on the “Disclaimer” link, you get this Google Finance warning:
Google cannot guarantee the accuracy of the exchange rates shown. Confirm the current rates before making a transaction that may be affected by changes in exchange rates. ”
-These prices you see are usually wholesale prices of the ringgit currency versus the euro currency (paper currency and currency are not the same);
-This price can only be held by the banks (interbank market), that is, it is impossible to achieve it as a private individual.
If you need ringgit banknotes you will have to go through the retail banknote market (bank or currency provider). This market means that the MYRs have had to be “transported” by someone for you to enjoy them (or bought from travelers from Malaysia, passing through Spain previously). In other words, moving paper notes from one place to another has logistic costs that will make their selling price more expensive (the exchange rate that will be applied to you by the seller).
-The ringgit a currency not very abundant in Spain. Therefore it is not easy to find it available for sale in the currenciy suppliers. So it is good to anticipate the purchase and order them online to get a better price.

Euro to Malaysian ringgit bank transfer
If what you want is to make a money transfer of euros to ringgit or vice-versa, then you will really be making a currency exchange and not a paper currency exchange. In this case, the operation is different. The money does not physically move in banknotes but instead transfers balance between bank accounts expressed in different denominations: euros and ringgits in this case.
First of all, ask your bank what they will charge you for a currency transfer from your euro account to another account in Malaysia (we assume) in ringgit. And apply the exchange rate to the amount sent and subtract the commission from the bank. This will give you a final amount in ringgit to be received by the recipient of your transfer from euro to ringgit.
And then compare that price and the final ringgit that arrive at the transfer recipient with the price of a couple of companies specialized in currency transfers such as Transferwise and Currencies Direct, which collaborate with Cambiator with adjusted prices.
For example, on November 12, 2019, Transferwise applies an exchange rate of 1 euro = 4.56 ringgit to currency transfers with a fixed commission for 1000 euros of 7.49 euros.
And the other banks in Spain apply a less interesting rate and / or higher commissions as you can see in this table with the prices of international transfers from Bunq (with the same Transferwise engine) or Worldremit. On the right you have the amount in ringgit that the recipient of your transfer will receive with each possible player.
