i am a student with zero commitment and doing some side business and thus got myself earned a saving around 5k and i planned to invest into gold.
After much research, i feel that the options left for me are to invest thru those bank that offer gold saving account aka maybank or CIMB or just go to any jewelry retail shop aka tomei/pohkong/nubex and get myself a quote from them.
Other than that, any sifu here kindly advice me on whether there is any other alternative i can got myself cheap gold? or a much more appropriate way to invest such a small amount (5k)..? perhaps drop gold and go for silver?

Hopefully someone can also clear my doubt as well on this few questions.
Why is that gold coin are quantified in Oz and gold bar are quantified in gram or Ounce?
What is the difference between gold bullion coin and gold dinar coin?
Compared to all those types of bar and coin above, which one is the best to be invest? i had been told certain gold bar or gold coin with certain pattern has higher value..eg white house, bunga raya, dragon bar..

thanks in advance~~
