500 MLN NEW UNITS OF AMANAH SAHAM MALAYSIA NEXT WEEK

  KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 (Bernama) -- Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd, a
subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), is offering 500 million
new units of Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) from next week.
  The fixed price unit trust fund is opened for subscription from
July 18 to 24 to all Malaysians aged six months old and above, PNB
president and group chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che
Othman said today.
  Speaking at media briefing here, he said the additional units
were aimed at new investors who had missed out on the earlier
opportunity and existing investors seeking to top up their
investments.
  To ensure a fair distribution to the investing public, a maximum
investment limit of 50,000 units has been set per account-holder
during the offer period, Hamad Kama said.
  "I hope the new units will also attract civil servants who
received their salary increments as announced recently," he said.
  The additional units marked the fourth time that ASM has offered
new units for subscription since it was launched on April 20, 2002,
with a fund size of two billion units which was fully subscribed in
21 days.
  Hamad Kama said the additional units are expected to be fully
subscribed within one or two days.
  "I think with the competitive returns given every year, the new
units will receive overwhelming response from investors," he said.
  In the last seven years since its inception, the average annual
income distribution declared by ASM has been 7.02 sen per unit, he
added.
  Last year, one billion units were fully subscribed in less than
two hours and another one billion units launched in March 2007 were
fully subscribed within one day.
  Currently, Amanah Saham Nasional is managing 5.78 billion units
of ASM. -- BERNAMA

why is it so difficult to buy the ASM? this morning i'm the 2nd person in the queue (at my area, air keroh, melaka), but still not being able to buy the ASM, why? is there any secret behide? i'm new to this type of share.

if own cousin also cannot trust...i don't think i can trust anyone in the word liao. it's 50k not 500k so i don't think the temptation is that high to risk relationship with family to lamsap the money...he he

I've seen family fight for less than that. Because of that it advisable not to give yr money to anyone without any proper agreement.
