Better to avoid such broker.. one day if bnm or other local agencies authority decided to audit you...cant prove where is money source is coming from, you'll be in deep trouble, temporarily freeze your bank account and probably be investigated under AMLA.
For me if you depo to ABC company you should get your money back from them not from XYZ company regardless if you requested for refund or profits.
Avoid such broker mean avoid world top 20 brokers? Every single of them are offering this type of local deposit for Malaysian due to wire limitation. Singaporean has no problem sending money in and out anytime with open market. Unlike Malaysia, thanks to all the politician sending illegal money out of Malaysia like those in pandora box.
From our experiences, there is no big deal as long as you can prove the transaction with payment receipt and the trading account statement. No one can freeze your bank account or investigated under AMLA if the brokers you are using are well regulated. Top regulated brokers have their legal department, compliance department, internal and external audit, KYC, etc.
Instead of avoid broker, you can avoid using local deposit and go for wiretransfer option. But again you have to pay higher wire charges and potentially alert the bank negara on sending/receiving bigger amount.
