if wanting to buy usd/sgd/aud with rm, but not buying now, waiting.. will be right if...

1. rate hike happens on mar 15.
2. bnm continues to use reserves to "peg" rm to the $.

me, i am buying 1 but not 2.

that basically is the view anyone need to take.

I think just apportion out the targetted amt to be changed over the next few days, and chg over daily,... final day of change to be daytime, March 15, Wednesday. Ann't will be that night, our time,....

Today money changer sell SGD at 3.145 , just bought some since need it.
Not sure next week/month will go up or go down to 3.07-3.12 speculation.

SGD run up this round is only ~ 40% in term of time-frame imho 

Nope. Usually it will drop on the weekends because there are not much trading activities going on and hence the slight drop. But I saw SGD climbed up again this morning. 

AUD is nice though... Slightly below 3.40.

myr long term trend to sgd, rmb, jpy and usd is there to see; yet many still have faith.

Aud and Sgd took a slight dip today. Didnt seize the opportunity?

All forex (except USD) spiked vs MYR after 0.25% rate hike 

AUD +2.1%
NZD +1.6%
EURO +1.3%
GBP +0.9%
SGD +0.8%

Relax don't need to panic. Najib will do something.

Itu dia... SGD 3.163 at fav money changers as of today. AUD at 3.435. 

I would disagree. SGD is known to go up and rarely comes down.

Which money changers? I saw sell @ 3.17/3.42 Pavillion, buy @ 3.15/3.38 
At this rate 3.28/SGD and 3.51/AUD reachable soon? 

Yeah,... the MAS said to investors last night that they do not intend to lower the SGD band in the coming policy meeting in April because the economy looks okay now,... if this happens, then the SGD will run faster up against our RM,... don't know wished to be happy or sad here !

I saw the econ numbers,... I keep thinking why the 'f' can their economy improve when almost everybody else is struggling ??? Couldn't be they're bs-ing their numbers,...

Today rates at money changer a bit too high. I think wait to cool down first.

USD also UP lah against MYR.

Hi peeps, I asked this in the FSM thread but wonder if you guys here have a different view point.

I recently came back to Malaysia after close to 2 years of earning foreign income and brought back with me some foreign currency (from the former land of convicts) which is sitting in my FCA now...

With the current weakening RM, should I convert it out to RM and then invest in funds or should I just keep it in the FCA without earning any interests to hedge against the historically downward trend of RM?

Dilemma. Sifu please advise 

No
I see. It's now in Malaysia FCA not overseas anymore because tax reasons

My question is more should I convert it out to invest? Because it's sitting duck doing nothing in my FCA in Malaysia

in what form and with what method you would advise?

Thanks! Many interesting viewpoints here.

As far as investment goes I've only ever played with unit trust funds and even then I am extremely risk averse. Hence I am not familiar with stock trading. Anyway thanks for all of your input, I will need to digest the below and make my decision
