er.. online platform yes, U are right.
For ARCA buys, if one is one HLeB - one can just call / traditional-style
Of course best if can do online la but if one has limited resources (ie. no US stock a/c or SG stock a/c that can do US), why not
Just sharing 

This is good news, then i  just wonder why have that condition that disallow malaysian addresses ........

Why include such a 'loose condition' to control when people can easily avoid.......

Malaysian govt tried to stop us investing in US??
US brokers do not want malaysian moneys?
Surely the malaysian govt can do better than such lousy loose condition to control us.......
or are there some hidden sticks that the govt can use later on for such accounts?

Yes, perhaps like what dreamer shared.
However, since i was lucky (already have an OX account), i'll play with time to do it "properly" - don't want kaka to happen somehow later.
That's just me - chicken little 

Cant afford even a share of BRK-B. How many shares must you own to get a ticket to Omaha, tho?

30% withholding tax

If sell share profit USD100, then need pay US Gov USD30 ?

You can try Interactive Brokers or TD Ameritrade
