I am currently working in Singapore earning around S$2500 (RM6000++) for almost 4 years.
Currently I have Home Loan with Maybank with prefect payment record(in fact I have overpaid my loan since I have alot of $ in the bank).
My loan started in 2010 (25 years loan) but up till now I had cleared 5 years. That means even though if I'm jobless now, i don't have to pay any monthly loan until 2015. I also have Maybank CC (Amex Gold card2card) and of course also with perfect record and my outstanding now is in negative balance because of the 5% rebates.
However, my application for the OCBC Titanium card was rejected for unknown reason. I try to appeal it by calling the telemarketing agent and they did try to appeal for me but the results was unsuccessful. The agent told me because I did not meet the bank guidelines.
I really don't understand. Anyone here know the reason?
Kindly refrain from posting the same post in two different threads.

Some Bank CS told me they calculate base on S$2500 = RM2500 but that also doesn't makes sense. How about if I am working is Japan and I am earning 150000 yen (around RM6000++)? Don't tell me also 150000 yen = RM150000? It will be a joke.
This kind of comparison (S$1=RM1) only works for these two currencies pair.
Some of the reasons i can think of as to why they rejected your application for the OCBC TMC:
- You've been working in SG for close to 4 years but your monthly salary is only around S$2,500. Of course it's quite a lot if you convert it to MYR but then, they probably deduct S$1,000 from your salary. Probably they assumed that you'll need at least S$1,000 to pay for your room rental in SG, transport, foods and some basic necessities. So, that leaves you only S$1,500. S$1,500 is still quite a lot but then, you already have a credit card from Maybank and there is also a loan account that you need to pay off for 25 years. This is very likely to be the reason why you failed OCBC internal credit test score.
