Some guys have all the luck

Who you referring to? Those non-bumi have ASB?

but still bro.. not all bumi invest in ASB..

Yup

I don't know what to say lar

they all very2 lucky yo

To u ASB is a gem
To them ASB is nothing

you can read my mind

to most of them, perhaps.

but please refrain from being racist, this is not the thread / forum to be one.

nobody is stopping anyone from converting to islam just for the sole purpose of being eligibile to invest in ASB.

Agreed, Saya Anak Malaysia

My mom helped my sis to open ASW2020 when it was launched many years ago. She asked me whether I want an account for myself, I told her just open 1 account, I can share with my sis. We didn't know it's so difficult to top-up later on. Now, even open an account also have to try luck. I'm sooooooo very regret, sighhhhhh.......

Your mom ask & you rejected it

It's too bad, already missed the boat & cannot "catch" it anymore

U never xpect this will happen
Anyway, life still goes on

It's no use crying over spilled milk

Y u address to me
U should address to the forumers who raise this story

just adding some proverb to what you already said

Anyway, v should support n give him d encouragement to forget d past n move forward

I can't seem to help but see the blame being put on bumi's for not saving in ASB. I think people need to understand that a majority of bumi's are struggling economically just to put food on the table never mind save/invest.

Bumi's have the highest number of people living either at or below the prescribed poverty line in the ratio amongst the races. They also represent the majority of those with the lowest household income both in terms of median and mean scales.

When one struggles with rising inflation, depressed wages and high cost of living, even those living in big cities would struggle. And how about those living outside the big cities? When we're in their shoes, the priorities are different.

I'm sure that there are bumi's reading this thread and are feeling just as envious looking at non-bumi's having the opportunity to have funds to save/invest. They would have the same feeling too don't you think?

And also please stop repeating the same comment over and over again. ASB is an open ended fund and can never be fully taken up unlike the other funds. Even if each and every single Malaysian bumi maxed out their ASB accounts, the fund will still be available.

ASB is an open ended fund, it can never be fully subscribed even if cats grow horns
