It`s hard to find Kijang Emas, because they do not produce it anymore, for the time being.
Thank God, i manage to acquire a few oz at Maybank Kota Bharu yesterday.

U should call Maybank branch to know whether they have stock or not.
Even KL main also only have 1/2oz n 1/4oz. No 1oz at all. (last week).

Cool stuff man.
May i know where u buy it ?

A hairline scratch on Kijang Emas is allrite.
But, any visible scratch or dent on Kijang Emas which cause less weight of the coin will not accepted by Maybank.
Maybank officer say so.

Tq man. Appreciate it.

Maybank Bangsar Baru have a new & shining stock of 1oz Kijang Emas.
Bought there today.

1.) Heard rumours that Kijang Emas produced from Malaysia`s very own gold, not imported from other country.
And, Malaysia`s gold are high quality compared to others.
E.g : Malaysia, Brunei & Libya oil are very high quality compared to Saudi`s. Mostly used for aeronautical & sophisticated engineering.
When U.S attack Libya, oil supply were halted although Libya only exported small percentage of world`s oil consumption.
That because, Libya`s oil are real gem of oil(The black gold). Get the ideas why U.S & Europe hit Gaddafi like crazy.


2.) Kijang Emas & Dinar Kelantan also from virgin gold, not scrap gold like several manufacturers.
I do own Turkiye gold but after suspicious that it not from virgin gold, i release most of my Turkiye gold. I also heard the same case from private manufacturers like Public Gold.

3.) Owning a Kijang Emas like owning a real value of Malaysia.
Since most wealthy countries backed their currency with gold reserves, thus owning Kijang Emas means u have part of Malaysia harta.

4.) Kijang Emas also rarely manufactured because it only used gold from Malaysia soil.
Same like Dinar Kelantan which only produced from Kelantan`s very own gold.
That`s the reason why kijang Emas & Dinar Kelantan not easily available.

Bear in mind that all of my statements above are rumours/hearsay and not backed by facts.

I wonder why everytimes i went to pawn my Kijang Emas, the gold weighing scale always shows inaccurate readings :

1) 1 oz : Description (31.105g), Pawn centre: (31.14g - 31.12g)
2) 1/2 oz : Description (15.555g), Pawn centre: (15.58g - 15.55g)

Does Bank Negara Malaysia(BNM) been generous or what ?

KFH

11/7/2011 : Bank Selling (RM154.61/g)... World Gold Price :USD1543
- Difference RM1.43 for USD15 world gold price appreciate.

* Means u are RM0.53 richer per gram if u invest in KFH ?

UOB are low in spread, but they not really justify world gold price appreciation.

Respect your opinion, but i think i get enough with UOB.
Low spread offered by UOB not really tempted because i`m hunting for most transparent provider.
Will go back to KFH or maybank, since my plan is for long term.

BTW, Kuwait Finance House(KFH) currently organizing lucky draw, "Gold Discovery II", first price is 1KG gold

I do own KFH gold.
They are not coins, but bars.

Dont have any pics of them cause i ask KFH to store it for me.

I think silver will outperfomed gold, big time.
But, liquidity & market for silver in Malaysia are small & complicated.

I just don`t have enough balls for such volatile precious metal. So, just concentrate on gold.

Not gonna sell for profit-taking, yet.

There`s still long road to go :-)

Because nobody can correctly predict the future gold movement.
The good thing about gold is it is hard to manipulate, since many party own it(Central bank, country,investor & citizen).

When George Soros dump almost 99% of his gold holdings in May 2011, gold just decrease about 2%.
That`s George Soros(a huge investor& speculator), but still gold not heavily affected.

Better Protection: Investments in MGIA are fully backed by physical gold deposited in PAMP S.A.

Wonder what bubble u talking about . Gold bubble ?

I dont have any idea how bank calculate the rate for gold price.
I find out that if the intraday gold trading price are stable/less volatile, bank will offer better price.

Perhaps someone can enlighten about how bank determine the gold rates

Ya man.
I expect gold will be punished at least to $1.5K level.

Perhaps due to probability of US rating downgrade.

Nope.
I think gold not beaten hard eventhough US already pass the debt ceiling, because there`s huge probability that US rating will be downgraded in coming months.

any scratch or bend ?
Where to COD ?

Yes. They are 995.
KFH in process to replace their 995 to 999.
Their customer should get the free survey sms that asking either they interested to replace the old 995 to 999.

In Turkey & Arabs, 995 are common but not in Malaysia.
Since KFH want to have bigger pie in gold investment, they have to capture the norms of Malaysian.

Basicly, not much differences between 995 and 999.
They were almost in the same ballpark.
Just slight differences in percentage of purity & price.

S&P officially downgrade U.S.

Expecting huge upward for gold next week
