I also have have a BoA debit visa card, if I use the card to withdraw $ from the ATM in malaysia, I will be limited to RM 1,500 withdrawal each time rite?
Depends on which bank. Our ATM cards here in can withdraw a maximum of RM5,000 per day and RM6,000 for Standard Chartered
(except Hong Leong Bank and several other banks). So your Bank of America VISA debit card will also be able to withdraw RM5,000 per day (the equivalent in US$).
For your information, Hong Leong Bank ATM can dispense RM3,000 only per card per day. Certain banks allow their affluent clients to withdraw up to RM10,000 per day but that is not applicable to your Bank of America check card.

Anyway to withdraw higher larger amount of $, since I am being charged USD 5 per withdrawal + 1% conversion fees or something like that ((if I am not mistaken)
Let say you need a lot of cash but you want to save on the overseas admin fee imposed by Bank of America, you should look for ATM that dispense RM100 notes as ATM that dispense RM100 notes is able to dispense
RM3,000 in just
one withdrawal. You will be able to find ATM that dispense RM100 with Maybank, CIMB Bank, Public Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered etc.
