It was 3 years ago, around end of 2011, some M'sian politicians were boasting how strong the Ringgit were (1 USD = RM2.95), and people are dumping their foreign assets to invest in Malaysia, Malaysia has the strongest economy among ASEAN countries, they were pissing at US Fed for QE and saying US is heading into 2nd dip worst than 2009 because Obama's policy isn't work, millions of Americans are out of jobs, many Malaysians were returning to Malaysia - blah - blah.

Fast forward today... now they realized they were wrong.  tongue.gif

You need to check who rule Malaysia that time. If the person who succeed Anwar or Tun Mahathir is 'pandai' in this stuff, then Malaysia ringgit will remain stable as it is.

Major currencies (India, Canada, NZ, Australia) also dropped against strengthening greenback. It is a global issue, as USA FED going to hike 1st interest rate in 9  years. So, don't ever trust 100% photoshop EDIT u saw in social networking, ok?

Hi BN macai tongue.gif

The above table is calculated by me myself using the bloomberg link AVFAN provided. Not from social network or photoshopped. If you have passed your SPM maths, you should be able to verify the numbers. Numbers don't lie.

No doubt US$ is strengthening. But, if not because of the mess created by our "great" administrators in charge of economy, malaysia is a lot better than other countries. And we should be in the top half of the list, better than Singapore.

Ask your master to be rational and do some critical thinking instead. You day may be great, but they have made most malaysian's day bad

even for the rm, local and foreign bankers's been wrong in the last year on how low it went.

nothing is static, very dynamic in fact, incl fast pace foreign development.

rm is at the mercy of usd, rmb, commodity prices, bursa foreign investors, foreigner held debt, etc.

after the china devaluation, the latest forecasts from reputable banks i have seen are 4.20, 4.25, highest 4.28.

what might grind it further down is the mgs portfolio funds; only a small part has left so far, there is risk of more.

lastly, if the politics worsen, arrests, riots and all that, panic will accelerate capital flight.

indeed.... Malaysian Ringgit in a 'Difficult Place'

MAS has already issued a statement few months back

Singapore, 14 April 2015…In response to media queries, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said today that certain market commentaries suggesting that MAS had been intervening heavily to support Singapore’s currency were incorrect. These reports had erroneously cited the fall in Singapore’s official foreign reserves (OFR) and MAS’ FX swaps since mid-2014 as an indication of heavy intervention by MAS to support the Singapore Dollar Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER).

10% SDG vs 30% RM? Which country is better protected?

If our government is transparent and clean like S'pore, we would have much much more money in our central reserve to rescue the RM!! Look at what is happening now? Government has no money, all the agency is complaining they have not received their funds which was promised during budget 2015. PTPTN loan is cut by 40% and delayed payment to colleges, schools subsidy money is delay and hence TNB issued warning letters to schools to cut electricity, etc. (i can go on and on...)

How sad is this?????

This is typical example of when a few individuals's scoping up all the resources and let the entire country (rakyat) to suffer! vmad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

India, Canada, NZ, Australia, Russia currencies also dropped a lot too. It is a global currency war to depreciate currency to makes competitive EXPORTS.

1 year difference

USD/HKD 0.03%
USD/RMB 3.8%
USD/GBP 5.6%
USD/TWD 8.9%
USD/THB 11.8%
USD/SGD 12.7%
USD/JPY 17.4%
UDS/KRW 17.4%
USD/Eur 16.3%
USD/INR 19.4%
USD/CAD 20.5%
USD/NZD 25.8%
USD/AUD 27.3%
USD/MYR 31.9%
USD/RUB  92.6%

On Thailand, I think it is the perception and confidence it commands. Despite military coup, investors have more confidence in the army than a democratically elected but corrupt Thaksin government.

That's why i sincerely requested Showtime bro to create a list to show the performance of RM against other currency. Probably this will make it easier to convince someone RM is one of the worst performing currency in the world.

if u din follow me, u do hv quite a bit to read up and act...

basically, i was saying:

... money changer, you buy sgd with rm at say 2.70, if u sell immediately after buying , u get only 2.60, u already lost 3-4%. this is called spread - money changers earn it, that's their biz.

... if u put money in stocks, sgreits, etc. the spread is much less, 0.5% thereabout. of course, there is risk in that: prices can go up or down.

... if doing this for very short term, money changer maybe ok. for longer term, better look at the other options as u will also lose out w/o interest or dividends.

It is free open market.. Why need to intervene the currency uptrend / downtrend ? Weaker currency makes competitive exports, good tourism business and increase ppls saving in bank, as other than basic necessities needs spending in life, ppls will hold purchasing import items that not important(luxury, or demand based needs) ?
