On the other hand, if the USD/MYR breaks down from 4.1930, it could strengthen to 4.1400 in a few days' time,” he said in a statement.The ringgit appreciated against the Singapore dollar to 3.0915/0934 from 3.0974/0986 at Tuesday's close and strengthened versus the Japanese yen to 3.7188/7206 from 3.7221/7230.
