Hi guys, miss my babbling here ar? I just got back 3 days ago and posted at Credit Card section but then got sick (change in weather I guess).

If you were to check out my facebook account like once a while you know where I'll be.

From what I gather, FD promos not much difference since last month, want make your life simple, just go for OCBC 13 months 3.7% but if damn freaking free and no cost to you in going to the bank at least once a month, then go for OCBC Combo 3 months.

Actually, this last few months I got no cash to go chase after FD Promos. It will be a few months before my funds reach maturity and then also wondering if I should go deposit downunder and get Online Saving Account (under my daughter's name so I don't get tax) that pays 4% or more credited monthly or maybe do go for short term FD... read below on my second option.
you guys want to deposit money up to 5 years may miss some golden opportunities...

Now now, since last two months, most SEA currencies and AUD has weaken at a rapid rate against USD and if this continue, will we see a repeat of 1997/1998?  IF history repeat itself, those with cash in hand will make lots of money. And if it does happen, I guess aeiou228 and myself are looking forward to a shopping spree season  tongue.gif

Those of you who have not bought a Rolex better go get one now before our RM depreciate further (applies to getting an imported car too before new stock arrives) instead of putting in FD because the interest you earn can never catch up with the periodic price increase tongue.gif

*
Welcome back, Captain!! We all miss you injecting new and exciting comments in this thread! thumbup.gif

So, looks like I will give up earlier idea on >1 year FD ................... For me, now I am using KFH for the 3.98% Junior FD promotion. But they also offer 3.8% for the normal FD promotion.

Ha ha, now it will be more expensive to buy Rolex, imported cars and other items ! Here goes my Rolex, have to wait for RM to appreciate at a later date cry.gif

Bro Captain, same taste nevermind, hope dont same age as hoping still can call u uncle.
Basically, we dont really care about politics, or even cronies as that is beyond our control ( 5 years once can show our displeasure of course). At best we are trying to make whatever RM we have to generate enough passive income so at the least, there is some inhertance left to pass to our children so that they have a head start in live ( education is one of safest but not really the best form).

Concerning PPTN, my son applied for it ( and spent it fully) eventhough everything is FAMA funded. Sometimes people are too much, borrow yet do not want to return.  doh.gif
*
Ya, I agree. We are trying to get the most from FD. Why bring in politics as a variable ? Then there are discussion about "political" bread, airlines etc etc. Moreover, will these banks collapse ? If one is pro BN, then one is not a hypocrite .........................

So I suggest you to go.

Please share with us after you come back from the party, like to tell us
the atmosphere, how many attendants, gifts, content of BR speech, their
future business direction...and etc..

BR invites you to eat in where? A buffet dinner in Equatorial hotel?

There are many big eating issues around, one of the big eating scandals is probably French
submarine which cannot be sunk under the water..  biggrin.gif

So no need to worry, your buffet dinner is just a small eating..  biggrin.gif .. enjoy your meal..

Ha ha, bro, may not go, so no report on it. brows.gif

It is at their office this Friday from 3pm to 4.30pm. It is "Majlis Hari Raya Aidilfitri BR Bersama Pendeposit/Pelanggan Korporat 2013" per the invitation letter.

Likely to be small snack if there is any. biggrin.gif

But on second thought, I know you are a BR tua ka...one bad/wrong move, sure kena wipe out kaw-kaw cool.gif

Also everyone need to earn their money, if not the inheritance will just be gone in no time ..................

bbgoat, lucky fella, got good friend let u test first..

Thats why I agree (previously stupid) that we should spend some of our children inheritance ON them while they are still young. As then when we are old, then the good memories are still there. Other than be strict parents, these cannot do that cannot do.

Thats why nowadays I splurge on my children also on big items. Once a year will take them overseas for holidays. All these within our means of course, so using good returns from from FD is one of the ways of achieving it. All this spending is due to captain's article, bad influence from him.. vmad.gif

Ai ya, one more confirmation, rich uncle Magika! The one tie up with the big M! (selling hamburger, ha ha tongue.gif )

I do agree on Gen-X view of using our children's inheritance, but not up to the stage of buying big items for the kids except a used Kancil for traveling to U, overseas traveling (other than S'pore) twice only. But seriously that thinking has just set in on me recently. A good one, Gen-X !!! thumbup.gif notworthy.gif

As instructed by bro BoomChaCha (to report after makan makan) and Grand Uncle, oh sorry Uncle Magika (to go makan makan), I changed my mind and squeezed in some time to go for BR's "Majlis Hari Raya Aidilfitri BR Bersama Pendeposit/Pelanggan Korporat 2013".

Arriving at their office, they have an open house outside the bank with people queuing up for the food (ground floor). I was greeted by the BM and ABM and brought up by one of their staff to 2nd floor. They have 4 tables. All their staff were wearing formal Malay costumes (Uncle Magika, luckily I did not wear like what you said brows.gif). Most of the attendees are older Chinese uncles and unties with few Malays. Some are corporate staff, PDC staff also attended.

It is just a makan makan affair. Received one cute bottle with sweets inside. No talk was given.

Later talked to the ABM, he said once FD matured need to re-negotiate the FD rate. As some of my initial deposit was at 4.06%, ha ha, will ask for higher rate in Sept. Asked him about the rumour about take over. He said not true, there was talk of a bank M taking over but they are in fact biggger than that one. FD interest wise, he said might even go down ?? doh.gif

Anyway over at the counter, asked about the ATM card, was told no annual fees.

End of report. icon_rolleyes.gif

What is a PDC staff?

I am not worried about the banks merge or acquisition issues.

This happened in history, A small bank took over a bigger bank.
If I remember this correctly, last time Arab Malaysian bank took over MBF.

What is M bank?
Is it Am bank? Or May Bank?

If 10 people can fit one table, so 4 tables x 10 people = 40 people.
But not all top depositor can attend this invitation, so I guess BR has around
100 top depositors in their branch.

Not surprised for most attendees are Chinese, because around 97% population
in Penang are Chinese.

How was the food? Delicious?

Oh.. ATM card is free..this is great.

Thanks for your time and effort to write this BR meal tour for us... thumbup.gif

PDC, Penang Development Corporation, under Pg G.

Wrong guess on M Bank, keep on guessing. tongue.gif

Pg Chinese population high but not to extend of 97% lah doh.gif . Even KFH said their main customers are Chinese.

This 4 tables, people finish makan and leave for others coming in. Mix of private depositors and corporate client of BR branch.

Food wise, OK lah, can do. Did not eat too much as already eaten full lunch. Keep fit so that can do more Pom Cha Cha (dancing). rclxm9.gif

If not May Bank neither Am Bank?

MBSB merges with BR..?  hmm.gif

pinksappire did mention about this takeover matter no long ago, but I forgot to ask further..

But what if you meet your friends or your neighbors in this invitation? Then all of you know
each other are rich men?   sweat.gif

KFH counter staff told me there is a bumi scheme something like ASN (can't be sure) ?? So only Chinese looking for high FD interest rate.

The M Bank is a smaller bank. I don't want to be the one spreading the rumour. BR ABM said it was mentioned in last week's newspaper but I did not see it.

But the good thing is that maybe a good opportunity to create human networks from rich and successful depositors there.
Ha ha, received invitation from Public Mutual Gold for a seminar. Guess what, in Equatorial Hotel (BoomChaCha was guessing BR holding function there). Better not to go sweat.gif Mistaken by the crooks. brows.gif

FD, wise, unless UOB has good promotion in Sept, will be withdrawing matured FD and put to BR. After makan makan, thinking to top up a little bit more (the power of BR giving people "eating" makan makan). If not will top up in KFH with lower rate. tongue.gif
