Meaning that you put a fix deposit with the bank and in return they provide u a credit card with the CL same as ur fix deposit amount.

Like say rm5000 fix deposit, then u get the card with 5k limit.

It has nothing to do with the placement of the word "World". As mentioned earlier, HSBC Malaysia does not have WMC in Malaysia.
The word World exist because the card design is standardized all over the world for HSBC Premier card holders.

but PREMIER offer much higher CL and services compare to normal Plat member~

It is issued for SCB Preferred Banking customers. However, its benefits are just normal, such as Starwood's special promotion and golfing privileges, not as many as benefits offered by MBB and CIMB/DA WMC.

There are indeed some HSBC Premier MasterCards that do not bear the "world" word. For instance, some of those issued by HSBC Canada and HSBC UK. I have seen it myself a while ago but somehow it i have forgotten it until you brought this up. See below. Two of the cards do not have the word "world".

Another thing is that HSBC Premier MasterCard credit card is not offered in all the countries where HSBC Premier is present. For example, HSBC France and HSBC China. In fact, HSBC France doesn't issue any MasterCard Worldwide product at all whilst in China, local regulation prevents it from issuing the card. They do offer several joint-venture credit cards through Bank of Communications bearing both HSBC and Bank of Communications logo but i am not sure if they do issue a complimentary credit card to their Premier customers in China.
No one can really come up with the answer as to why the HSBC Premier MasterCard issued from certain countries do bear the word "world" whilst some don't. Anyway, there are a few things pointing that this HSBC Malaysia issued Premier MasterCard is not a World MasterCard.

1. The HSBC Group claims to issue World MasterCard only in USA, Australia and Japan to date.
2. MasterCard Worldwide made a grand unveiling of the World MasterCard product in Malaysia in a press conference back in 2008 saying that this card will be arriving in Malaysia very soon.
3. CIMB Bank unveiled Malaysia's first World MasterCard in 2008, the CIMB Enrich World MasterCard. It claimed this is the very first World MasterCard in Malaysia, a statement backed by MasterCard Worldwide.

Services definitely but CL, I seriously doubt it. My HSBC Plat Visa has 10X the limit given whence compared to my Premier previous

Well, but they got special redemption for WMC untuil end 2011 which makes it very tempting 

Premier r for Premier Customers... so, CL shouldn't be low...( mine is quite high, but not as high as my MBB WMC)

On the Low side,
if i assume that they gave u 80k-100k CL...
10 times?! ur Plat got nearly a million CL?! wow!  

Premier r for Premier Customers... so, CL shouldn't be low...( mine is quite high, but not as high as my MBB WMC)

My premier only slightly better CL than the normal entry level limit

Leave SCB... lousy bank~!    hate them!

how entry is entry o? u have atlease 200k relationship with them...
CL shouldn't be too low ooo..

I guess for Premier Customers it depends how much you have with HSBC. My dad Premier MC CL is less than his HSBC Visa Plat and my HSBC Visa Plat too (I don't have any depost with HSBC).

MilesAndMore have mentioned that even if you have a Premier HSBC account, it does not mean that you will automatically qualify for their normal Visa Plat.

I didn't know that... but I got both of the cards @ the same time...

well.. if u guys say premier is not a world , so be it.. no point to argue furthur~ 
so, my MBB and CIMB r Real world?

Well, but they got special redemption for WMC until end 2011 which makes it very tempting
