Just decided to "tembak" and enquire with Asus Malaysia via their FB. Messaged them. Asked about RRP of the LTE model, official availability in Malaysia and whether it supports both 1800 and 2600 LTE.
They only answered one question: RRP for LTE model is RM1299. They also mentioned RRP of another model for RM999. However, they did not specify 16GB or 32GB for that RM999 quote. In any event, kudos to them for fast response (within 2 hours).
Thanked them and repeated my questions again for my other two queries. See whether any reply or not...

1299 quite good price! About the price of Mega 6.3

Hope 999 is the 32GB. Also hope that they bring in 16GB at 899

Greedy? That's human

LTE for RM1299 is abit on the high side.

Not really considering that the US price 349USD = RM1142, EU price 349EURO = RM1513. Assume you can get it in after paying SIRIM/courier/whatever at the expense of RM100 (which is impossible unless you import in bulk). The price of RM1242 and RM1613 still make the RRP of 1299 very reasonable!
Besides that, take note that... US Set can only be used on 1800 MHz spectrum while Euro set can be used on both 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz.
Malaysian telco uses both 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz with most of the telco on 2600 MHz, you better get one with 2600 MHz support.
and since Asus is bringing it in to sell locally, they will probably bring in the EU variant since it supports both 1800 and 2600. Unless Asus is stupid enough to bring in the US variant then I've no comment
