should be a bumi.

in the wake of the GE result, i expect gov will ask ASNB to sell some asw/asm to make rakyat happy. of course it will help them a little if they do so.

still, my opinion is that asnb should come out with a fixed unit trust fund that are open to all MALAYSIAN (bumi/non-bumi) but limit it to let say 25k each. It will give some 20++mill malaysian to get the same treatment. make it like asb. as long as you have a blue ic you'll be able to open it. what say you all?

p.s. i doubt that will happen.

its just an idea. perhaps if they were to take on my idea, they reduce it to 10k only. if 10k it's only 200b. still, not everybody will put money into the new unit trust. most prob, existing asb unitholder will max out their asb first then venture out to the new ones. the new one will be more eye pleasing to non-bumi which has fully utilise asw unit.

just my 2 cent opi only.

Loan - 3 banks only maybank/cimb/rhb. all 3 got promotion. but personally i prefer maybank. easier to pay via m2u.

ASW cant open. no unit available. if you want to try your luck in case any unit available, go early to asnb office in jalan tun razak, kl or shah alam if you in klang valley. SOMETIME, if you are lucky, they have some unit that have been sold by people that you can buy.

GOOD LUCK!

nope. you cant asked a third party to open for you since they need your signature on the passbook.

the only time they allow is for guardian/parents to open for their child (age below 12 for asb and below 18 for ASW/ASD etc).

I doubt that what they are doing since every scheme has their own account manager. some more they have SC monitoring their moves.

personally i think since they have already a big size of fund and being profit retained has been snowballing since 1991, they can afford to pay good dividend just by taking back some of those retained profit.

Read those account statement given to you every feb/mar (ASB) and some other month for the other scheme.

if i'm not mistaken u can only buy 200k. but if you have more than that in your ac, u can convert it to cert - in '000 nomination.

buy what? asb cert? sure you can. or you can convert your existing unit to cert. they charge u RM2 per cert. BTW, most people buy cert for loan purposes.

if not mistaken, it's automatically converted into adult. no need to go anywhere. now, u can withdraw you money only without you pa/ma sign on the form.

Added on April 17, 2008, 3:06 pmyes. they send statement every year. depends on which account you have. like asb feb/mar/apr you should receive it. asw oct/now/dec. different account diff date/time.

you can update your book anytime except when they suspend the scheme for dividen calculation

it's 200k. if you want proof, go to any asb counter and asked them. how much can i invest. CONFIRM 200k only.

BUT, if u have dividend accumulated, you money in ASB can be more than 200k.

To EXACTLY know how much u can STILL invest, asked them to check on the UNIT BOLEH DIBELI.

not true.. it will calculate for ALL the unit you have. not only 200k

still available. just call 032057300 or go to their HO or branches. if u r in klang valley, go to jln tun razak or in shah alam.

its 220k. not 200k.
