For DBS, I open a DBS Saving Plus account.  I just brought my passport, IC and SGD.    At that time, it was ok as the ac min balance was SGD500 and if below, there is a fee of SGD2 per month but now, looks like they have revised the min deposit to SGD5000 :

I also looked at Standard Chartered Bank and their Esaver account is pretty good.    No min deposit/balance, no monthly fees.
In addition, I have heard that if one TT from their Malaysia Standard Chartered Bank account to their Sing Standard Chartered Bank account, there are no charges.  I have not tried this myself.

From their website:
  High Interest Rates
  No lock-in period
  No monthly fees
  No minimum deposit
  No minimum balance
  No fixed term
  No hardcopy statements to file
  No ATM cards, passbooks or cheque books to lose
I think when you choose a bank,  other than considering the bank fees/min balance, it is important that they are one of the below banks (maybe these are all the banks in Sing?   I have no idea):
For Uob Kay Hian, to open an account, you need your IC & Income statements:

If you don't have a CDP account, they will do it for you too.    In Singapore, only 1 CDS account...  not like in Malaysia.  1 CDS account for each broker..  pensang. 

Anyway, found this useful thread:

Hope this help.

What about interest rate risk? in the end you will be spending RM not SGD.

LOL whatever you call it.. it's the same thing

Thank you. Standard chartered eAccount looks interesting.  Now, contemplating which broker/investment bank should i choose. 

Erm, nope.    Interest rate risk and currency risk are too totally different risks. Google it to find out more.

I think it depends on how soon you need to spend the RM...

I am not concerned about interest rate risk/currency risk/forex risk (whatever it is.. )
1) I am in for longer period and the money is for retirement..   
2) I have only seen SGD getting more expensive to buy and haven't seen it become cheaper yet...    Is there a possibility of the trend will reverse?    I doubt it but I can't say there is zero risk...

This.

Do you see the trend of SGD vs MYR reversing anytime soon.....not for me.

If anything, we should see SGD=3MYR pretty soon.

not so soon lah .... in 5 years time is possible if our Gov still dun wanna wake up ...... but good for exporting biz (commodities and raw materials) so that we stay at competitive range..... but who like to travel a lots is different story lah ...... so either side can be negative or positive to our country ...... what am i talking

Added on October 2, 2012, 2:59 pmLooking at the online trading brokerage between UOB and SC, seems SC fees are cheaper.

For those who are interested with SC, worth reading this post:

Thanks anic.

Thanks for the link!
ITS VERY helpful! 

On the opening of accounts in Singapore, do you just open over the counter?

ie with all your documents and $$$$?

No problem for Msian opening a bank account?

As i understand, local Msian banks do not allow funds transfer to a Sing account held by a Malaysian Citizen.
Can anyone verify that?     

TIA

Glad that it helps.. 
Yes, over the counter.  I didn't face any problem opening the bank account.  DBS officer just asked what is the purpose, and I said for investment.    Can't remember if Standard Chartered Bank officer asked the same question. 
I don't think there is such restriction.  Though I haven't done it myself but my friend did it before.    If this is not allowed, how do Malaysian parents TT money to Children studying in Singapore? 

What stock brokers are you using?

I use UOB Kay Hian.  I didn't shop around at that time when I opened the ac.  I was new then and didn't pay attention to fees etc..
