To be honest, I don't know where exactly it is to post what I'm about to ask, so if it's in the wrong section kindly inform me where I should be posting it.

Q : Is it possible to transfer funds from a Malaysian bank to an overseas account of a different bank? For instance, I want to transfer funds from local bank A to an account which is in Switzerland(MYR to Swiss Franc).

How do/can I apply to open an account in a bank available in Switzerland? Must I travel there, be physically present to open an account? Furthermore, what is the minimum amount required to open the said account?

If I successfully open an account at a bank in Switzerland, how do I transfer (regularly, let's say a monthly fixed amount) from my local bank account to the one in Switzerland?

Can I request the local bank to automatically transfer the so said 'fixed-amount' monthly to the overseas?

many thanks in advance.

No for education, more of a, offshore saving? (no idea if I got the term right ><")
As in, I want to save money else where(overseas) through my local bank.

my salary is automatically transfered into my local a/c, from that a/c, I intend to send/transfer a monthly-fixed sum to an a/c that belongs to a foreign(say a bank in Switzerland). I just want to save my money elsewhere(overseas) whilst having a balance here to use for expenses.

I can then withdraw the money from the overseas when the currency rate is stronger against the MYR or other currencies. In short, it's like parking my $ in another country's bank the question is, is it possible for me to request my local bank to transfer the monthly-fixed amount to the overseas one?

But it's not for the short term tho, as in, if there is a time to migrate - I would at least have substantial funds at the overseas bank to utilize

As for Forex gain/loss goes, I wouldn't be converting the foreign back to solely MYR. I could utilize to to convert for other currencies.. kinda of a round the big bush thing, hoping to scrap a little profit along the way
