Noob question.

The monthly return of lets say rm10000 @ 2.1% annually is just almost nothing, should be use on else where for better return? Without more initial fund, should I even bother at all?

Well, this savings account is not for investment. If you have spare money that is laying around with nothing better to do, then at least you should've put it in the FD. You'll get 3% p.a.

If you are a Bumi, then put it in ASB. Get 8% p.a.

If you are feeling lucky, can go to casino.

But if you really wanna invest, then study up the stock market. That is where rich people make their money, aside from business and real estate.

Anyway, I personally just use this savings account to keep my cash for daily expenses. Any extra money will straight go into my stock market portfolio.

Yes, 2.1% annually is just almost nothing. But it is definitely more than 0.5% annually which I get from normal saving account. It does makes a different, but just a small one.
