Of course la.
Let's take unker X for eg. This is just a rough calculations of mine. Could be wrong.
Unker X is worth min rm3m. How did I arrive at this figure?
1. Unker X send his son to the US. Sending someone to the US will require at least Rm1m for tuition fees + living expenses for say 3 years.
2. Chinese family generally have 2-3 kids. For this discussion, let's assume he have 2 kids. One kid send to US. One more kid takkan in Malaysia. So another rm1m for the other kid.
3. 6 figure FD amount late for few days = one time family meal.
4. No way only one single 6 digit FD. How I know? Too much money in bank X/Y/Z (his own words - lost count how many banks already).
5. Say eg, RM500k /FD at 4.5% gives ~ only about RM62.5/day.
6. If one were to eat at hotel/fancy restaurant, one should prepare min rm50/person (I am being generous here as usually it will be higher than that - about rm100)
7. As you can see from the eg. Unker X if he didn't get 2 days of interest, he lose out.
Of course Unker X is not captain but applicable for him as well.

PS Unker X is active member of FD thread.

okay fair enough but what this has to do with FD? lol.
since we are on the topic, regarding (1), studying in US can easily be free with scholarship. can even earn if you work during studies
