One of my friends kena. Called up ASNB, was told money will be refunded to the bank. Just need to watch out for it. However, you may want to call them up to confirm.

Yes, now that you mentioned, I had to wait a long time after entering my TAC for the transaction to complete.

Why would you want to try at 7am when the offices of PNB only open at 8.15am? You need someone to sell before you can buy, as it is assumed there are no free units waiting for buyers, as whatever spare units sold at the offices/banks would have been snapped up due to online buying hours only end at 6pm.

You were just lucky. Doesn't mean it's applicable to the rest too. How do you explain my failure to grab even 100 units for the past few days?

Nope, you made it sound so easy to get. If it was that easy, we wouldn't need to "just keep trying lo", right?

True, but so are the rates of our loans. I bought a new Proton in 1999 at 7.6% (IIRC) loan rate. Nowadays, it's 3.xx % for Proton.

I wonder how HLB managed to grab this deal. I remember HLB wasn't even an agent bank recently as my FIL had to go to BSN in his kampung instead of HLB to open an ASN account.

There is very low chance of getting a quota at any moment, especially end of the month. For example, I can say with 99% confidence level that if I were to try to buy 100 units (minimum) now via myASNB website, I won't be successful. You are competing with many people.

In my case, I visited ASN office to open an account. Assuming you are non-Bumi, you can fill the forms for all 3 funds (ASW, AS1M, ASM) to buy 100 units each. As long as you manage to buy one type, you can buy the rest online.
Now, as units are hard to come by, we usually camp at the office while the counter people try to buy for us. I had to wait 3 hours to get all 3 funds (at that time, we could not buy new funds via website), while my wife only had to wait 1 hour on a separate occasion.

FYI, post office and one agent bank didn't even want to entertain me with request to open account - "no units available" was the standard answer given.

In my case,when I got RM100, I wish I had put a bigger amount.
When I fail to get any after putting a bigger amount, I wish I wasn't so greedy.

Forbidden fruits always taste the sweetest.

Anyone experience delay when using Maybank2u to pay? With CIMB, it was normal.

Have, managed to get RM500 a few times after trying a few capchas.

No luck today, not even RM100 per attempt.

The post office I went didn't even want to help me open an account (RM100 purchase), let alone RM50k.

There is nothing strange about it.
If everyone behaved the same as you and had the same thinking or financial situation/plan, we would not be able to buy any units at all.

There is no capital gain to look forward to, unfortunately. With this, we face the wrath of inflation.

I knew this was coming
Which is good for the risk averse type.

I know you guys will be trying hard for ASW, so I won't have much chance.

Therefore, I did something intelligent... I tried AS1M and ASM.

Guess what? No units too

+1. Many falsely believe all banks are open on Sun in JB.

YOU ALREADY SAID VERY HARD, SO THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE RATIO, IS THERE? JUST GRAB WHATEVER YOU CAN.

I didn't even manage to secure any units to go to the banking page.

I would think that for people like us who diligently and painstakingly buy units for a "mere" 6.0% p.a., it sure will be easier for us to control the itch. I'd imagine how hard it is to buy back the units I sell, so no can do.
