The dollar was the currency of the British
colonies and protectorates in Malaya
and Brunei
until 1953. It was introduced in 1939, replacing the Straits dollar
at par, with 1 dollar = two shilling

sterling
(60 dollars = 7 pounds).
The Board of Commissioners of Currency Malaya came into being in October 1938 following the Blackett Report which recommended that the sole power of issuing currency for the various Malay States, including Brunei
, and the Straits Settlements
should be entrusted to a pan-Malayan Currency Commission. Sir Basil Blackett
was appointed in 1933 by the Secretary of State for the Colonies
to lead a commission to consider the participation of the various Malay States, including Brunei
, in the profits and liabilities of the Straits Settlements
currency. The Blackett Report was adopted by the Government of the Straits Settlements
, the Federated Malay States
, Unfederated Malay States
and Brunei
. Legislation was enacted by the Straits Settlements Currency Ordinance (No. 23) of 1938, and ratified by the various states during 1939. The board started to issue currency in 1939.
In 1952 the board was renamed the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo. See Malaya and British Borneo dollar

; and further 500,000 one dollar notes and 100,000 five dollar notes were lost when the carrying ship, the SS Eumanes, was sunk. As such, none of these notes were ever put into circulation by the Straits Settlement Government. Only the 10 dollars were issued for use in Malaya.
At the time of Japanese invasion, stocks of dollar notes were still held in treasury vaults in Singapore
and Penang
. When Penang was evacuated in December 1941, 600,000 one dollar notes and 100,000 five dollar notes were abandoned in the treasury, where they fell into the hands of the Japanese. In Singapore
, 4,200,000 one dollar and 1,000,000 five dollar notes were destroyed, and 21,000,000 one dollar notes and 3,900,000 five dollar notes shipped to India
for safety. When British
forces reoccupied Singapore
in September 1945, they found all the abandoned notes of this series, except for a bundle of one thousand of the notes captured in Penang
, in the vaults of the Japanese sub-treasury.
Nevertheless, all stocks were destroyed in 1946, as it was feared that the notes from the captured ship might have been handed over by the Germans to their Japanese allies, and were being hoarded in bulk, ready to be passed into circulation when the notes became current. There are no evidence that these notes ever reaching Malaya

The notes of this series from 1 cent to 10 dollars were dated 1 July 1941, those of 50, 100 and 1,000 dollars 1 January 1942, while the 10,000 dollar notes were signed and dated on the day of their issue.
