Based on my previous conversation with bank counter staff, 100k units can finish around 1 or 2 hours (depend on how many people "try" that time)

Balance of AS1M units for Bumiputera investors is less than RM1 bln — PNB

AS1M, a fixed price fund with a size of RM10 billion units, was launched on July 31, 2009 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. It is open to all Malaysians with an allocation of 50 per cent for Bumiputeras, 30 per cent for Chinese, 15 per cent for Indians and five per cent for other ethnic groups.

I used to know someone who offered the PNB officers some tips, for exchange they will help you to "reserve" the amount of fund you desire whenever the opportunity arises, and notifies you to immediately bring over your money for purchase.
Downside is you need to be always available, ie. not really viable for the working people. True enough, he managed to buy extra units for it not long later, despite the funds being fully subscribed most of the time.

I Have also heard of people having friends working at PNB-appointed banks, who will help them to purchase whenever units are available. That is why the funds are always unavailable to the rest of us, because the moment someone sells, these bankers and PNB officers immediately grabbed them.

can we do that? without we present at the branch?
I mean for "ordinary" customers 

i am guessing the panic selling may be related to the new selangor MB perhaps?

certain individuals may need to buy expensive gift for curry favour? but that's off-topic anyway.

Ah, good job...so for this year tracking purposes :
ASW  - 9.3%
ASM  - 8.8%
AS1M - 8.3%

Share investment as in tarak ada or ...

non-bumi cannot invest in ASD, so it's not relevant that's why HJebat list down 3 ASx Fixed price fund only 

AS1M mega sale this Wed... So prepared your $$$ & some time off 

When would be the best time to go and check? Early in the morning when the bank opens, or later in the afternoon when people have withdrawn their dividends in the morning?

oooo...race per IC all the while put Chinese...lol..
but if father Chinese mother Malay so will consider bumi or non -bumi?

you are considered bumi if either one of the parents is a bumiputra

it depends on how you pursue the case with jabatan pendaftaran negara and how u registered your child upon birth 

wow, can change.. veli good    change to bumi?

don't think it will be implemented in such way

you need to transfer money from somwehre to buy into the AS1M, ASW2020, etc etc, yes?

if linked to our savings account, then it will definitely need IBG transfer, which takes 1 day
a few hours can make a lot of difference in units availability, let alone 1 full day 

Yayasan Ekuiti Nasional has decided to distribute RM500 million of Ekuinas’ profits via Yayasan Pelaburan Bumiputra (Bumiputra Investment Foundation) to benefit Bumiputeras who own unit trusts managed by PNB.

It's CLEARLY mention bumiputera. So, obviously will be asb asn asn2 asd

if KLCI drop to 1000pts & lower, then we can expect new fund or new subscription for current ASx fund 

there's some people who would blindly "invest" in ASx fund esp old folks & noobie.

like what happen to me today. Bank staff tried to promo me ASG, telling me the fund give me 7% p.a (way better than ASM, ASW etc. which give around 6sen+). If I'm not well inform, surely I fall for the trap.

like we all in LYN know that variable fund NAV would "drop" after dividend distribution unlike fixed price fund. The so-called 7% p.a are deducted from NAV.

NAV may drops. But if you keep for say 5 years, won't you be able to cover back and drop NAV price?
