Thanks for the response anyway.
As above. I've already prepared everything. Just waiting for the form to be processed. Was told about the 'additional' criteria. Could you suggest /pm a particular branch in kl where it's possible to do so?

I thought this thread is for the masses, ie. not talking about Priority banking opening account in Sg.

If a person is eligible for priority banking, that is another approach.

Heck if you are also eligible for priority banking or even better, private banking in Sg, that is another approach. Your wish is their command. Just ask the Sg RM to fly to Malaysia and meet you at your office. What problem to open a Sg account for Malaysian if we talk about Priority or Private banking ? We don't need this thread anymore

In relation to private banking, am happy to recommend people for PB as I have contacts in there but they don't accept anyone under USD1m(UOB).

I don't want it to be a waste of my time and their time so read between the lines

Someone told me, if you can beat inflation with your investment in Malaysian assets with Ringgit , you don't actually need to put money in foreign currencies.

He told me, only invest in foreign currencies, if you have plans to migrate/ send children oversea. Otherwise , invest in ringgit assets that give you return of more than inflation rate.  Wealth is still preserved.

True?

Actually,... this statement is not truely accurate,... sorry,... to me,...it's okay if MYR depreciated against ANY CURRENCY of the world, PROVIDED the cost of goods and services in the country DID NOT INCREASE. Right ?

My family is in Australia, now the AUD weakens vs the RM and SGD, BUT the price of goods and services in Australia now did not increase !! So, no issue, right ?

I'ma private banking client myself,... in a few banks. Actually, except for one bank, most of the private banking services can't really help us invest effectively. I can do better in investments than most of them,... at least till now,... since 2005....

I think no need to put into private banking-lar,... just follow this forum,... talk to people nicely,... read the right materials, can do better,....

Mine was 2-3 hours plus. I was like what the hell. It's Singapore man. Even slower than our BSN. This happens in DBS.

Only if you priority customer. Also need to see whether Singapore side require you to be priority member or not.

No. If my location cannot open account, sure they will tell me so. Now they claimed that it is their internal policy and cant tell me why.

I believe that they must google my name and found that I have companies in oversea and thought that I am going to do money laundering. The reason why they can't disclose they reason is, they afraid of salah by saying that I opened the account for money laundering and being sued.
