According to source, they are in the midst of preparing documentation works and S&P signing most likely will be somewhere in Feb 2012, not end of Jan 2012 as mentioned due to CNY season. Here's the banks loan package so far, lock-in period is 3 years:
1) UOB - 2.4% (lock-in period to be changed to 3 years)
2) PBB - 2.5% (1st); 2.45% (2nd-3rd); 2.4% (thereafter), MRTA is compulsory (minimum period is allowed)
3) HSBC - 2.4%
4) MBB - 2.4%
5) CIMB - 2.2%
6) OCBC - No info yet
7) AMBANK - No info yet
8) HLB - No info yet
9) Alliance - To be confirmed
10) Citibank - To be confirmed
** Please share if anyone has the information on item 6-10, thanks !

Alliance, BLR-2.4% come with MRTA or Credit card. Better apply credit card..
HLB BLR-2.3
I think OCBC, citibank, HSBC not in the panel yet

Seem like PBB is offering a better rate for the 3 years construction period.
But how much is the interest saving from lower rate as the loan has not fully drawdown in the 1st 3 years.
Can someone tell us how to calculate the MRTA?
Actually all bank more or less is the same. during construction period interest rate lower, js save a bit interest only. better choose after the construction period, the interest lower. Hard to calculate the MRTA, coz the insurance company got their own claculation, we cant count it.
