This is my personal experience why I'm going for RHB. Public bank deal is good if you dont dump cash.
Public Bank Full Flexi:
70% set off interest on extra prepayment amount
Example loan 500k, put in 100k extra prepayment, will minus 70k (70% x 100k) and use balance 430k to calculate as interest
No Withdrawal fee on extra prepayment
RM10 monthly maintenance fee
RM200 set up fee
Similarly, full flexi in RHB, Slightly higher interest rate 2.95% but 100% principal reduction. No withdrawal fee, No setup fee.
But I was notified that in RHB you wont be able to enjoy interest reduction during construction. Cash dumped in during construction, cannot redraw. (Appreciate if someone could validate this)

Another update i got from RHB, extra money dumped into the principle prepayment account will enjoy interest reduction during construction period BUT you can only withdraw the money once the loan is fully disbursed.
Additional item to be reminded. Repayment in multiple of x1000 to deduct interest
For example, if you bank in RM500 or RM800, it does not considered deduction in interest.
or
if you bank in RM1500, RHB bank only consider RM1000 to deduct interest and another RM500 not considered.
