I suggest you to save an emergency fund with a size of up to 6-month of your monthly spending, i.e. RM12,000 and put this amount into FD. About allocation of the FD, you could divide RM12,000 equally into 2 portions and put each into 1-month roll over and 3-month roll over.

Anyway, in my opinion, with such a small amount of FD (RM12k) and such a small difference FD rate between 1-month and 3-month, if I were you I would put all the emergency fund into 1-month roll over FD. The purpose of putting money into FD is for liquidity and not  for long term for 3-month/12-month. If you want to earn more return, you should aim on mutual funds, equities or properties but FD.

isnt it better to dump the rm12k emergency funds into the housing loan which is flexible? can withdraw with notice to banks within a few days or some have atm card to withdraw anytime?
