Useful for kuli like me, flight tend to get very expensive on weekends.

Flights cost KL > SG RM59-69, SG > KL RM100+
Train cost only RM59 KL > JB/JB > KL. Always took train

try search sin-kl on friday evening / night

kl - sin on sunday night

easily 400 - 500 return

Try crossing the custom on friday evening, 2-3 hours guaranteed

No need so urgent sell.. I will only dipose if profit.
Anyway for me CMT my holding is small.

Recently visited 3 CMT outlet.

JCUBE, IMM & WESTGATE.

jcube, westage is crowded on a weekeday. IMM bit quiet and rundown as its suppose be factory outlet.

suffering maybe Raffles ...


I will hang on first unless price increse suddenly and I can make a profit to switch.

i take First Coach and realise price increase to RM150 return. using TUAS with no jam.. and no traffice at imigresen.

then went to some website saw got bus leaving from KLSENTRAL is RM45 one way... which is much cheaper...
but not sure which route it takes.

Got train go Singapore? Can you give me details..
Last i check the is no train to Singapore. Only up to Gemas.
I do not taking train for the joy ride with my kids.

i will add before EX DIV. if can get between .70 to .72
as $$ need park somewhere.

also if keeping for long term.. if drop after div.. just hold till the next div.

bad thing is, its 2x a year div only.

Try airasia/jetstar. If you book 1-2 months in advance, won't be that expensive. Alternatively instead of flying out from Changi, fly from Senai. Flying out from Chnagi pay SGD. Flying out from senai pay RM.

If you are selling, where will you switch to?

I have heard of First coach. People say very comfortable.

Last time got. Now "no". Here's their new route.
KL Sentral/KL station (depending where you want to get up) > Gemas > JB sental > Bus/train across Causeway > Woodlands.
This is night train. Waiting time at Gemas is ~30minutes.
Cost: I think RM59 (KL sental > JB sentral). There's senior citizen discount for this route. RM5 for 5 minutes train ride across the Causeway (no senior citizen discount for 5 minutes ride). This trian (going into SG) will be packed like rush hour komuter/MRT. Bus to woodlands is cheaper but never tried bus.

Woodlands > Bus/train across Causeway > JB Sentral > Gemas > KL sentral/KL station
Again this is night train.
Waiting time: 4 hours at Gemas station. Last time no need to wait. Once arrive at Gemas, can striaght hop onto the KL bound train.
Cost: SGD5 for woodlands train > JB sentral. Again it's packed. I think bus across the Causeway cost ~SGD1.90 or lesser.

Cost for JB sentral > KL sentral = RM59. There's senior citizen discount for this route.

Duration:
KL sentral > Gemas: 2 hours
Gemas > JB sentral: 4 hours

Hope this info is useful. Oh ya, if your kid is studying in malaysian uni, can apply for student card to use for KL sentral > JB sentral route.

aiyo. Ramjade.. the train sound too stressful even if joy ride.

Yeap First Coach super comfortable.. but only now i realise its expensive.

But i guess for the convenience.. i will still be paying for First Coach.. as its only few mins from my hse.

Hi all taikor...would like to open an account for trading REIT...need your input on which broker have better service/fee charge/efficiency? Thanks in advance for your inputs.

DBS Vickers because I am buying for long term (I am holding) and right now, it cost only SGD5/trade.

After june, will switch to maybank KE and make use of the SGD10 promo. Already set up my KE. Now going to try apply for maybank mcep + maybank usd foreign currency account. No fall below fee if use mcep to apply.a Going to post them my application on monday.

There's only 3 I will recommend.
1) Standard Chartered SG Online trading. This is the cheapest among all broker. But hard for malaysians to get. Get this if you can
2) Maybank KE prefunded
3) DBS Vickers cash upfront.

1) and 2) are nominee account while 3) is direct. For 1) and 2) the shares are kept with the banks respectively. For 3) your shares are kept with CDP. Good thing about DBS Vickers cash upfront is min SGD18 or 0.18% whichever is higher for buying (non promo). Other direct account charges min SGD25 or 0.25% whichever is higher for buying. For selling, no difference between other direct account at min SGD25 or 0.25% whichever is higher.

Hi Ramjade, Thank you very much for your inputs. Currently working in SG. So in order to open a DBS vicker account, it can be done online if i have POSB account right? How about CDP? Have to go to their branch?

Just go MBFC and apply. Not sure if can be done via online.

The branch officer will also help you with your CDP application.

Haha,... soon,...even Singaporeans will start asking bro Ram how to
open accts, what's the best acct to open, etc,....

I should charge royalty for it
Btw, SG have their own Lowyat Forum:
1) http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/money-mind-210/
2) http://www.sharejunction.com/sharejunction...atestTopics.htm
3) https://www.investingnote.com

I have DBS acc, everything was done online. You should call and ask.

CDP is very important, pls make sure they do it for you. my case my trading acc ready but CDP delay.

Elea, FCoT hitting 1.39!
