There should be any tax on gold. Silver yes.
Not gold.

Doesn't stop them from trying to untung atas angin biggrin.gif

Fedex agent I spoke with insisted item value > RM500 must be taxed because it's government rules.

Refused to budge until I pointed HS CODE 7108200000 means tax free for gold.

They cherry picked HS CODE 9705009000 to charge tax devil.gif shocking.gif

Inside the JPMorgan Trading Desk the U.S. Called a Crime Ring
The U.S. says the precious metals desk at JPMorgan was a racketeering operation. Now the bank is poised to pay a record penalty for spoofing. Here’s a look behind eight years of alleged conspiracy

SVB and First Republic bank failures were all traced to liquidity crunch and having to sell off covid-era bond with low interest rate at a huge loss, since current bond series offers much higher interest rate. Central banks including Fed and BoE accumulated so much of these bonds in their balance sheet and couldn't unwind fully without inflicted massive loss to themselves. Recently, BoE have to sell of their old Gilt which they bough during the covid years at GBP101 face value... guess how much they sold it for? GBP28.... nice!

Central banks and treasuries all around the world are issuing debt notes and printing currencies, telling everybody they carry value, while behind our back they are buying gold.... almost too easy to read their poker face, right?

About your question - yeah, I bought a uranium stockist before, Yellowcake Plc.

Malaysia gold reserves is kinda low or is BNM behind the curve.

Current Reserves: 38.88 tonnes
As of: June 30, 2025
Estimated Value: Around $3.2 billion (as of March 2025)
Reserves have grown from 36.39 tonnes in 2013, still way behind.

Thailand and Singapore hold the largest gold reserves among SEA countries.
I remember during the Asian Financial Crisis, Thai government asked it's citizens to sell gold to boost central banks reserve.

Bar, coin or jewellery?

If you are buying gold for investment, DO NOT BUY JEWELLERY. Jewellery are for decor, not for investment. High workmanship costs and premiums for jewellers to fleece you.

Agreed jewellery might also be filled with resin or contain non-gold metals sold as gold weight.

Literally paying for trash doh.gif
