Today trip to ASNB was unplanned as I wanted to visit EPF at the same building.
(By the way, Shah Alam EPF is moving out to IDCC, Shah Alam by next week)

I'm retired and this is part of my retirement plan to get better returns. I've set a target of how much to invest in ASNB- ASW- ASM & AS1M

I've completed my top up for AS1M & need a little bit more for ASM. Somehow it's easier to get those units first compare to ASW.

It's difficult to get ASW but not impossible as I'd still managed to get some every day. Just need more patience & more luck for it. Sikit sikit jadi bukit as what @nexona88 always said.

Usually, I prefilled my forms before going to banks and will always request extra forms in case more transactions are offered. My regular bank staff initially helped to fill all forms but now a day, I'll helped him if he continues trying to check for extra transactions.

I'd collected extra forms from ASNB yesterday as my bank branch forms are nearly all used up by my regular visits. As they're still new to ASNB, they only have limited forms brought in & only few customers walked in to ask for it. Yest, I was the only customer asking for it the whole day. I told my bank staff to reserve their forms for other customers while waiting for their orders to come in.

My plan was to try to complete my top up before everyone salary day so that the rest here can easily get it next week & also take advantage of the cheap petrol to go ronda ronda to check for availability. All the places I'd visited, no need to pay car park. So every trip can save more $$.

Anyway, auntie is already very contented with the amount deposited in each account. Total of ASW I'd managed to get this month are quite impressive but still far from my set target. Auntie will keep going to check but focus on ASW next. If lucky, I'm happy to get 100- 200u / visit. At least , not empty handed.

Good luck for your upcoming hunting trips.

Good luck to everyone trying.
Auntie twinkle only looking for a bit more later after everyone grab the morning shares. Hopefully I'll conclude my ASM transaction today. After that, can focus on other stuff. After yesterday big transactions, no hurry to run out as only limited $$ left till next week when FDs due for redemption.

For those with contacts at banks/ pnb, I super envy you all.
For those who are unsuccessful walking in and out like auntie twinkle, don't give up hope as someday, you'll strike lucky too.

Visited ASNB to complete my Pengisytiharan Amanah (& EPF nearby) .
Finally it's done.
Nearly got stuck till 3pm waiting for it as the Commissioner of oath was about to leave for Friday's prayer. Paid $6 for the whole process.

Managed to get 2 transactions, 4 digits of ASM from out of 7 attempts (1/2 hourly) while waiting for my 'PA' stuff.

Today, very hard to 'see' ASW units as per ASNB staff.

While waiting, a guy walked in to withdraw big sum of ASW but my happiness was cut short as the security guy reminded me that he's a BUMI!
Not quota for CHINESE!

Just try other banks and avoid doing your future business with them . I told CIMB, they've just lost a potential customer for their other products.

You're lucky to have this privilege. Must be a VIP customer.

Visited 1 bank, 1x only after ASNB today.

Managed to get 5 'baby' units- 4 ASM + 1 ASW (300u) which is an extra bonus before weekend rest.
ASM still need a bit of top up.

Overall this week, ASM is the quickest to top up. ASW is the slowest but still able to get a bit of units everyday.

Today there were many Chinese looking investors, dress up without tudung also but holding 'blue' passbook.

I may or may not try my luck as bank staff on leave. No point trying at the other banks (RHB & MBB) here as I can already 'hear' no units.

Wish you & others, all the best luck. Auntie twinkle needs to park FD$ temporarily until the right time to get ASW later.

Never too late to learn something new everyday.

I was adviced to avoid visiting ASNB, Shah Alam on Mon & Friday. My previous visits were for opening accounts & settling the Pengisytiharan Amanah. (& neighboring EPF stuff)
There is no need for me to re visit ASNB in future as I can just try my luck with my neighboring banks. I do have a regular bank which I'd try without the fear of being intimidated by them.
Good luck for your future top up.
( for settling your priority in life.)

Perhaps your ASNB has appointed person to witness your signature.


Will rest Mon & Tuesday & settled other matters. Bank staff on leave.
Good luck!

From what I'd observed in ASNB, Shah Alam, it was true the place was extremely packed on Monday & Friday was busier than weekdays (Tues, Wed, Thurs). It just happened I was there at those days. The security lady also confirmed to avoid Mon & Fri.
I don't think it matters if you go to banks as long as there is no Q at the counter and they welcome you to try your luck.

From what I heard at ASNB recently, the investor was told he can withdraw only 10k at ASNB at one time but he can withdraw more at banks.

Managed to get 4 digits ASM from 2 transactions out of 5 attempts.

ASM yet to hit personal target. Just need tiny bit more now. Hoping it'll hit by tomorrow. Luckily MBB staff said I can do multiple visits to check availability.

No more further hunting for me today. Weather is extremely hot outside!

Just follow auntie twinkle hopping like bunnies from 1 place to another. Even though I was 'told' twice by some internal people to buy 'makan', so far I've just ignored it as I was in service industry before and we're prohibited to do it.
If auntie twinkle can get 6 figures each for ASM, AS1M & ASW in <month, I'm sure you can get it too. Everything is luck & timing.
Auntie twinkle is not PB customer and only enough $ in account for ASNB. If successful, I'll transfer more $ from principal bank.
