3.638 is without considering the 10% that is locked for 3 months.
I've done a quick calc, assuming no interest for the 10% from your FD amount for the first 3 months, and for the final 9 months the 10% put into a 9 month FD of 3.2% pa, the effective rate is around 3.526%

Note: no guarantee my formula's correct. To my best effort.

In this case, why dont one go for a 1 time full fd with rate better than 3.6% pa?

Thanks Bro for the cal. Just as I suspected, lower than Affin's 3.6%

the highest of all is still 4.7% at mbs, 5 years, 6 monthly int.  that is No. 1
2nd is still BR., rest rank lowere down my list.
fluctuate so what, it consistently gave me 4.0-4.6% last few years, even if at low(4.0), it is still higher than most others.

Thanks for confirming that Bank Rakyat's interest/dividend fluctuates. The interest is paid monthly?

By the way, for the 5 year FD with MBSB interest is paid half yearly or yearly?

Looking for FD for 3/6 months. Guess uob is the better one (ocbc fd maturing so cannot put into ocbc as fresh funds)

Not cOnsidering bank rakyat due to convenience issue.

Yah, based on current promotion (exclude Islamic promos) looks like I also have to transfer my funds to UOB too next week with OCBC 5% 3 months (hopefully) maturing.

I did transfer some funds again to OCBC GIA-I 4% last week (now headache got to maintain minimum funds in OCBC PB account too).

Updated my blog on current FD promos by HLB and RHB, next week Monday will update again (1st post too) as I am sure OCBC will have new promo. For now still showing promo by Public Bank and OCBC valid till 31 March 2012 (for info and comparison purposes).

Alliance Bank 3.6% for 3 months ended last month and currently no new promo.

Is there such thing that when you have certain large amount of fixed deposit, you will be taxed? ie. under C3 Faedah dan diskaun.

Nope. Guarantee 100% tax-free on interest earned from FD in Malaysia.

OCBC is giving 3% (6 month FD board rate) for their savings account if you top up RM2000 or more. No more details other than this (sms from OCBC).
