Interesting information how could he accumulate so much wealth as a government servant?? if monthly salary RM 8k - 10k also won't be that high, maybe around RM2 - 3 million only after all the expenses like housing payment, car, overseas holiday, children education etc. not over RM 11million (that excluded the house, land or others assets he owned)

the quota imposed is some kind of discrimination, maybe there are reason behind it (who knows). I think the quota is to give the people an opportunity to invest. Remember few years back when PNB open asw 2020 & asm for sale?? it sold out within 20 min after open for subscription/sale....... I'm one of those people who are not able to subscribe it So the story is that the quota imposed is to give everyone a chance to invest. if i not mistaken when AS1M opened for sale 1st time there are limit for per account. Currently only bumi & indian quota are available for subscription.

Sure u can buy at RHB Bank, also in Maybank, CIMB, Pos Malaysia and ASNB branch. Chinese quota sold out, only bumiputera & indian quota available for subscription.... Thank You

ASW2020 & ASM sold out for everyone... AS1M chinese quota SOLD OUT.

KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) hari ini mengumumkan pengagihan pendapatan sebanyak 6.50 sen seunit bagi Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS 1Malaysia) bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 30 September, 2011.

Pengerusinya, Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid, berkata pengagihan pendapatan kali kedua itu mencatatkan peningkatan sebanyak 0.12 sen seunit daripada 6.38 sen tahun lepas.
"Ini membabitkan pembayaran berjumlah RM311.27 juta, peningkatan sebanyak 53.32 peratus berbanding RM203.02 juta tahun lalu," katanya pada majlis mengumumkan pengagihan pendapatan itu di sini hari ini.
Beliau berkata, 270,598 pemegang saham yang pada masa ini memegang 5.49 bilion unit AS 1Malaysia, akan mendapat manfaat.

Ahmad Sarji berkata, sehingga 20 September 2011, tabung AS 1Malaysia memperoleh pendapatan kasar berjumlah RM405.67 juta.

Katanya, keuntungan daripada penjualan saham dalam syarikat menyumbang RM205.99 atau 50.78 peratus pendapatan dividen daripada syarikat pelaburan menyumbang RM152.48 juta, atau 37.59 peratus dan pelaburan dalam insrumen jangka pendek dan pendapatan-pendapatan lain RM47.20 juta, atau 11.63 peratus.

Presiden/Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman, berkata setakat ini 55 peratus daripada saham itu sudah dilanggani dan kuota yang diberikan kepada kaum Cina dibeli sepenuhnya.
"Bagi Bumiputera dan kaum India, unit-unit itu masih belum dilanggani sepenuhnya," katanya sambil menambah bahawa tabung itu menawarkan 10 bilion unit bagi langganan pada harga tetap RM1 seunit.

"Keseluruhannya, bagi tahun ini, AS 1Malaysia menghasilkan pulangan 8.6 sen seunit, tetapi kami mengambil keputusan untuk memberikan pengagihan pendapatan 6.5 sen, dan kami akan membawa ke hadapan 2.1 sen seunit," katanya.

Ahmad Kama Piah berkata, dengan 2.1 sen ini, PNB berharap ia akan membantu memberi pulangan kompetitif dalam suasana ekonomi global yang suram.

"Kita sudah menghadapi beberapa keadaan ekonomi global yang tidak menentu sebelum ini.

"Bagaimanapun, kita berupaya menghadapi isu ini dengan baik, dan berharap dapat mengekalkan portfolio kita yang baik pada masa akan datang," katanya. - BERNAMA

First choice for bumi and non-bumi (if they can invest -> not in a million years) investor sure be ASB. if ASB max out then only invest in others (asw, asd, as1m). just ask any people.
SORRY if I hurt any people feelings, but this is fact.

Diversification as some people always tell me. Don't put all your eggs in one basket others tell me. All are the same meaning Support your statement about not putting everything in PNB. Suddenly PNB close down (hope NOT), all investor become "mad" & masuk hospital bahagia

where you got the information. please give the link to it. Some my indian friend planning to invest in as1m after get some bonuses.

REALLY.. OMG can't believed it. Are you sure??? if can give the link to the forum you got to know about it. AS1M very "hot cake" now lar.....

Standard statement ever year for most asnb funds.... another statement is "6% is higher compare with other fixed investment instrument which give only 3 - 4% interest per year". ASNB Board of directors, please find another statement and not the standard one I hear every year for the past 5 - 8 years.....

ASNB Unit trust fund are mostly for those in the long term maybe around 8 - 12 years period. If you all look at the Fixed-price historical dividend rate for most fund (open to all malaysian, exluding ASB), the dividend rate is always above 6%/sen every year. For ASW2020 The highest is 10.10%/sen in 1997 & lowest is 6.30%/sen in 2009. For ASM the highest is 6.8%/sen in 2008 and lowest is 6.25%/sen in 2009. So those who invest in long term can see their money growing bigger. Wanna faster way, can invest directly in bursa malaysia with the yearly dividend average 7% for dividend oriented listed company. (hint: mostly sin stocks)

For more info on historical dividend rate can see at http://1-million-dollar-blog.com/dividends/

In my opinion, better keep the money in ASB, don't withdraw it if you really need it. ASB dividend is really good and even get bonus if keep more than 10 years. just my opinion, it's all depend on individual.
