Will dividends/capital gains from local robo investing apps ie Stashaway, Wahed etc be taxed when the money is withdrawn to bank account?

from the link in post 123,...

Implications on Malaysian Investment Funds
Malaysian funds that invest abroad will also be disadvantaged, as the foreign income remitted by the funds is now taxable.
Investors may then invest through foreign funds or foreign vehicles, instead of Malaysian funds, as the additional tax cost will reduce the investment returns.
Ultimately, this would result in movement of funds abroad to invest in foreign funds.

Wait. Ayam confused a little bit. Capital gains/dividends will be taxed when remitted back (considered as foreign income). But the initial capital is not being taxed?

Example deposited 5k in robo. One year later cash out all in total 6k. So only 1k is taxable?

It's going to be a headache for apps like Wahed/Best that have both foreign and local investments in a single portfolio. How to differentiate? 😂😂

Thanks MUM for your reply and thoughts. Always very insightful. I guess it's even more important now to keep (perhaps even physical) copies of all these transactions moving forward.
