6.2% was my earlier estimate few months ago.

Now with the higher than expected GDP (5.7% which Ah Jib is very happy with, don't know whether the figure is with lots of smart accounting or not for the coming GE14), my revised estimate is 6.5% (assuming the GDP growth is real).

Less than 10 days to go for ASW $$$!

Hope AS1M will be even higher!

Dear all, I'm starting to read this thread, now at Page 22 

Went to Maybank branch last Friday to ask how to open accounts for ASW, ASM, AS1M.. Staff informed me they cannot open account because they cannot see if there is any fund available. Advised me to open at PNB branch because they know real time of fund availability. Maybank staff then informed me that once I have an account, I can top up fund OTC as they can check whether there is any fund available. I konfius, why now can see when if there is any fund available when to open account they cannot see the funds availability.

Went to post office, told the same thing, advised to go to PNB office to open account.

Call up PNB office, was told no fund available and there are two person waiting to open account there (in other words, don't waste your time coming here)

A few questions which I hope experts here can clarify:
1. Does it mean that I have to camp at PNB office to open account, before I can do the topping up at agents? This is a problem due risk of holding too much cash as I won't know how much fund is available on that day.

2. Can I view availability of fund if I link my newly opened account to M2U and buy online? The MBB staff told me can sell online, but to top up I must do it OTC.

3. Was told by Maybank, I need to open separate accounts for ASW, ASM, AS1M. True?

Yeah, saw the news report..
Deposits growth is lower nowadays...
As usual, banks says it's non issues... But actual it's will create problems in future.. Like u said.. Time bomb ticking...

Banks tellers / staff are more pressured now.. They somehow needed to performed.. So they needed to find more deposits somehow.. But we as consumer are smarter now.. Gone the days we chase after FD promo when we could get 6% on ASx..
One unker I know withdrew his FD to dump into ASx.. The bankers tried their best to hold.. No use.. 100k gone just like that.. Bank lose

Last week as i went to open the accounts, the banker was more interested in helping me to open ASM and ASW, apparently she wasn't keen on trying or mentioning AS1M at all. Any reason? or it is the hardest to get.

Only ASW is suspended for now..

AS1M Financial Date is September..

Thank you for sharing.
I was able to top up AS1M before 2pm today.

Trying to buy AS1M now, RM100 per effort habuk pun don't have.

So this year below 6%
Ada berani kah! They dare to declare such low rate when GE is around the corner?

Hi all, queries on the dividend calculation. I googled and understand that the minimum amount for the month is taken into account.

1. I intend to open account for ASW next week, say 5th Sept, possibly only getting RM100 by default at PNB office.
Now, if I can only top up the account on 6th Sept, does that mean my dividend calculated for Sept would be based on RM100 balance? Does it matter if I manage to top up the account to say, RM20k, by 30 Sept?

2. If my balance for ASM and AS1M is say, RM10k each on 31/8/2017, which will carry over to 1/9/2017, does it mean my dividend for these accounts will be based on RM10k regardless of how much I top them up in Sept?

yang penting kita sambut MERDEKA dulu ... !!! finger crossed dividend payout marks a significant amount .. 6.66% as it jives with 60th year of Independence.

Those "idiots" are the ones that are going to snap up units to be released by the "sheeps".

Itu payment sudah made.

Managed to open AS1M account ytday.
Am finding it so difficult to top up the account.
With the current drop in interest, this ASX doesnt seem that attractive anymore.
Other than the instant withdrawal option, any other reasons to still use thiss?

sure?

tried multiple times, only able to top up twice rm2500

At least something auntie...
Many don't have bullets just cry inside only looking so many people top up 20k 30k like that
