Still cannot beat Phillip money market fund and do not even need to keep so much  with them to enjoy such rate.

If you are from SG, best place to keep money is Citibank maxi gain. Condition is don't withdraw money and you will be able to reach the max level (very easy to achieve if you don't withdraw money).

This Phillip money market fund is for people who want to keep short term RM.

POEMS in SG is only good for buying UT. Nothing more. Other stuff is practically useless.

thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. will check out money market fund - MMF is indeed a good place to keep it there for short term as i am not keen to keep all my rinngit in FD. i prefer to keep some in cash so that i can use it to buy stocks when market is down

my late dad left for us some ringgit in a the bank and some share listed at Bursa so i do receive dividend from these stock. that explains why i have ringgit

so to say, i didnt purposely keep my money in ringgit smile.gif

Forget about keeping money in Malaysia. Keep your money in SG as SG govt is making their currency gradually appreciate against all currencies.

Of course is better. Higher rates at 3.69%p.a vs ocbc of 3.25%p.a without any charges. Too sweeten the deal no need to maintain RM30k unlike ocbc.
So even RM1k in Phillip market fund will earn you 3.69%p.a unlike RM1k in ocbc booster which only earn you 0.25% as the amount is below RM30k.

How to place?
Open an account with themhttps://www.eunittrust.com.my

What's the return?
3.69% p.a as mentioned on their page (scroll down) and on their fund fact sheet. Rates will change I think on a monthly basis depending on the underlying FD they invest in.

More info can be found at

Keep in mind don't withdraw fully as they might charge you RM50 (I have never been charged despite withdrawing fully multiple times)

i think foreigner cant buy this amanah Saham? that day, i ask about Islamic FD and were told this is not available for foreigner

It's RM5 not RM50. Sorry typo.

The other good parking place is amanah saham fixed price fund. Min 6%p.a. Function exactly like a FD but you can withdraw anytime (working hiurs)  at banks or their branch.
