june 30th

ah, then any Malaysian can invest in asb as long as they are muslim then?

i've been told
BLR will go up

i've been told
BLR up = FD rates UP

i've not been told
if FD up, ASB dividend = UP / DOWN / TOTALLY UNRELATED.

anybody knows?

may be you can do a simple comparison between the past performance of asb and FD/BLR rate through out the years?

Hi all..sorry noob question.

Will ASB/ASW be effected if there is turmoil/change in goverment?

What will happen if there is a change in goverment? What happen to PNB?

PNB is wholly-owned by Yayasan Pelaburan Bumiputera (YPB). The board members of YPB include the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, and some others.
If there is a change in government, YPB board members will change. PNB get new owner (technically not new owner, but new board members of the owner), and what happens to PNB afterwards is fully up to the new YPB board members.

That is what I understand. Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan.

can someone confirm this is true or
confirm this is false.

"FD rates has never ever ever been higher than ASB dividend".

i think this is true

a simple check on asb past performance and you will know

Lets say in 3-4 years time there is a change in goverment.

1. Is there any POSSIBILITY that ASB/ASW will decrease in its value/dividents significantly?

2. Will the peg price of RM1/unit share be effected?

Thanks.

I believed the RM 1 Fixed Price is in the original prospectus, therefore, I wouldn't think any party will have a right to change this, unless, of course they close off this fund altogether and return the money to the unit-holders.

As for the dividend rate, then yes - this can be affected by the new government.

Looks like this is the dangerous part.

Better stop queueing anymore to buy new units for the non-Bumis. Don't know the future risk,..........

Suddenly ASB may not be as stable as we thought it would be...

PNB is directly linked to Gov. Will there be a problem if there is a change in Gov?

YES, certainly there will be this possibility, and yes, this is certainly quite a big risk. The new Government will want their funds to be in place instead of the former government's funds.

hi guys, im still new to this investment world.still learning about investment bit by bit.

i would like to ask, can i still go register for any of these amanah saham?since i heard the units were sold off quite fast when they issue it.

I believe the bumiputera portion is still available, so if you are bumiputera, you can deposit straight.
If the units are sold off, you can put yourself in the waiting list, so when someone sells, you would be contacted.
Normally, it takes awhile until you can buy any units. So, it is wasting time in my opinion.
Please correct me if I am wrong

whats the minimum amount to open a ASB account?

hello ppl...just wanted know...let say i've made a loan already then after 2 years i want to bank out some money can ah? is that possible?not the interest...anyone knows?
