Wow, that thing that you mentioned about asnb systems can check on how many units available is something that i don't know..

Thanks for the information...

Same strategy with me, but my ASNB fixed price holdings still not sufficient enough...

Hope for more cash to dump in to enjoy my retirement with those funds in future..

I believe the announcement of ASB 2 will be during the tabulation of the Budget 2014 on 25 October 2013..

Therefore, you may check for the newspaper on 26 October 2013 on whether there is any news about it..

Yape, the best way is to call them..

Actually I give a call to them last week, they said still no news yet.. Hopefully there will be some news soon..

Haha.. anyone here who have news can share it here also..

There are goods and bads for this policy implemented..

First of all, the good thing is the chance for further bank in might increase because ASNB holders have to personally go to try top up instead of seeking help from others, which this would contribute to higher chances for bank in..

However, the bad thing is i am also having a hard time to ask someone to try for me also, then, this is difficult especially the ASNB agents are quite some distance from my office..

But i still believe that there is a bright chance and fair chance for us when this policy was implemented.

Yape, i came across quite a few..

I am really curious on what happen to the planning of PM to launch the ASB 2 thingy..

Until today no news.. My projection that they will announce this fund during the Budget 2014 was also wrong.. lol..

I received mixed reaction and expectations about this new funds and some ppl say it might be a new hope for those non-bumiputera ppl..

Yes, i heard quite many mixed reactions about this fund..

60% of the feedbacks i received stated that there might be chance..

But i am not putting much hope for it to be opened to everyone..

Just take it as a bonus if it is..

please dont put so much hope on this one..

it is also people's belief, and it might not necessarily happen..

we can only hope, but it is hard for us to say at the moment because there are still no announcement about this ASB 2 thing at the moment..

yape, for me as a non-bumi, i always have to either scratch my head or invest my time in trying to deposit into the AS1M or ASM..

If i am eligible for ASB, i think it had been one of the best investment as no need to headache on when i can try to bank in, and the dividend announced are really high compared to my AS1M or ASM..

hi there, your wording is very offensive...

avoid using offensive words in this forum.. we are here to share information, and opinions, not to say something like that..

please be advise that it is quite impossible for the non-bumi's to open an account although it is direct from ASNB...

i have checked from them.. and they said it is tedious for them to open the account, then there is no quota which would cause those officers to have no choice but to write back to their hq to close back the account..

Hi..

Well, i guess you are not the only one..

I am also trying hard but also with a ZERO success strike as well..

I guess, still many people are holding it without withdrawing it..

well, non bumi investors could not use their kwsp because the non-bumi quota has been sold out..

therefore, it should only be applicable to the bumi quota only..

Wow, really envy her..

Haiz.. I barely have any chance to even open the account.. because i am a non-bumi investor..

Is there really any other ways for a non-bumi to open ASW2020? Hopefully someday there would be a way for me to open the account..

Don't mind if i can opened the account with minimum RM100, as long as i can try to bank-in in future.

Depends on what u have in your mindset..

As for me, i will still maintain the proportionate of money in kwsp to be left untouched..

Because i have ASM and AS1M, at least my dividends will be as follows:-

KWSP - JANUARY
ASM - APRIL (DIVIDEND CREDITED)
AS1M - OCTOBER (DIVIDEND CREDITED)

I only left my ASW2020 to make it more nicer but I am not entitle to open the account..

At least this is a form of diversification for me.. although the returns in ASM or AS1M might be higher than KWSP.

Yes.. thats true.. same mindset with me..

Yape... it is so not fair..

Anyway, as long as the fund is not launched yet, just hope for miracle although the chances for miracle to happen is very low..

If really miracle happens, then it would be a bonus..

there are news projecting that the BLR will increase by 0.25% to 0.50%..

Yape, that should be how the GST affects variable price unit trusts...
