I am wondering why she said the following:-

Citing an example, Zeti said during the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, there were huge outflows which were much more significant than what the country is seeing now. - See more at: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysi...h.KtYBSmif.dpuf

In 2008/09, it was the US subprime crisis, and the US Government had to act first to help the USA. I believed Asia was not affected much, even if it was, it would be due to contagion of the fall of the economic situation in the USA. I don't think there were foreign fund companies pulling their funds back to the US, unlike now.

You are right - the dividend given out this time will reflect on future dividends payouts.

if those fund not pulling back to US that time, where they dump the money?

I don't think capital flight was an issue back then. Capital flight was an issue in 1997/8, but not in 2008/9.The KLSE and the SGX slid was because of sentiments, and interest rate rises (for the SGX), which hit a lot of REITs. And yes,.. the subprime crisis hit the Sgp banks because of toxic assets that were detrimental to investors - that's right, that was the problem.

There r a lot of selling of ASx funds lately. To reduce this maybe ASNB is contemplating whether to pay out in full without reserving for the future. That will bring back all the sellers. Wishful thinking? n

Not really as it depends on market condition moving forward

Unlikely as 'reserve' is part of their DNA

Only for this year's income lah. In the past they like to say this year income is 8.5% but we are distributing 6.5% and reserve the balance of 2% for the future. So if they were to declare 8% dividend then there will be less redemption.
