It is to be expected though.. today is ASB dividend release.. ASB investor itself already 13million people? dunno from that number how many registered for portal already.. must be because really heavy traffic..

This was the reason why the special bonus was given only to the first 10k units. It is to benefit the majority of the ASB investors. around 80% of them have <10k amount. So they'll appreciate the extra. This was the whole point of PNB the whole time. to help increase pegangan saham bumiputra.

For those who already have almost half million in ASB, I dunno why they would make so much noise about getting so little. you have SO MUCH already lah!! why so tamak want to take all by yourself? let the poorer ones get a little bit more lah. not gonna exceed all of your money anyway.

yes. I saw similar comment in their FB also. don't blame them too much la. they're so used to the 'conservative' ways of doing things. let them adjust for a bit. there's a lot of older staffs there too who are also not as savvy. haha.

p/s: I also know how much their servers are catering. that must be their CTO you talked to

the 5% is not service charge. it's their SALES charge. and it's only charged when you BUY units. when you sell, you get the full amount (of course have to consider the NAV on that day)

ya they already mentioned during launching of ASB2 in 2014 that there'll be 10bil units only.

but there is trail though.. you can see even more detailed info about your transactions online now compared to previously when it was printed on the book.

and you know people will always complain no matter what.. sometimes they ask why asnb not follow like banks, banks can do this and that.. why u cannot?

and banks removed their passbooks for some time already.. so now when they follow like banks they said no, banks can be banks, why you also remove passbook.. let asb be special! etc etc.

pity asnb la.. they are trying to catch up with the century but got held up by fussy selfish people.. malays need to learn that they can't always get what they want.. they are too used to being fed with stuff they stopped appreciating it and started demanding it.. they are not more superior than others.. zaman ketuanan melayu is so over..

I don't see any non-Bumi screaming to have passbook again btw.. from the looks of it in here, they may be minority investors (in terms of number of people), but they are contributing a whole lot in terms of money.. I bet if there is no quota, those Bumis will have no chance..

I suggest they stop complaining and start acting on something..

Waaa.. I think this article is being unfair to their staff. First and foremost, all other media reporting also already misleading. Did you know last week was actually PNB's anniversary? and that bonus was given in conjunction of that. But nowhere in the article or any other articles was it mentioned. In fact, ALL medias focused MAINLY on that bonus announcement instead of the real agenda on the day. I dunno what the intention of the writer is. But please don't write out of emotions. Plus I don't think Najib was giving away any of the investors' money. He can't do that. Well, no one can. Not even PNB staff can take investors' money for other purposes. These so-called journalists really need ethics 101 lesson.

"During the 40th CELEBRATION" is not the same as "FOR the 40th".

Also it's mentioned 1st para only. the rest of article doesn't carry the same tone.

understand PNB business first, then you'll get your answer.

I'll give you a hint: ASx isn't all that they do.

won't comment more on this. later ppl think I pro ah jib.

exactly the point.. those who maxed out their limit were mostly taking loans.. there is no loan for asm,asw or as1m.. and even to transfer asb/asb2 dividend into those other funds are also not very smart (maybe not many would thought of this though), because the compounding return from leaving those accumulated units would be more profitable.. hence there's still a lot of units left for bumi in those funds.. asb is open ended.. even so, more than 70% of ASB unit holders have only <10k units.. on top of that, malays, especially, have VERY low awareness on investments.. (it's not racist, just fact)

but if you want to talk about fair, well.... it's the ultimate goal of PNB establishment in the first place, to help the bumiputera.. so can't say much on that.. I think if they were to open ASB to the non-bumis, the bumis will have no fighting chance at all..

before dividend time it is full.. after dividend they got increase fund size so now can buy again.. it's not about agents cannot open etc.. if they had this at that time u tried also i don't think can open.. it's only a matter of time when all units finish again..

I don't think it's bug.. I think really can open zero account.. I remember reading some comments in here saying agents help them open zero account.. maybe last time cannot because they control with SOP or something.. not exactly system limitation..

did it appear in your portfolio page after you cancel?

I don't really know details, but this is what I can tell you:

if money is below certain amount(can't remember how much), any of your successor (kids, siblings, etc) can go to asnb, fill some forms, and take the money. need to provide some documentation for proof of relationship (bf gf cannot lah).

if more than that, it will go to amanah raya, you have to claim from them, and yes, they charge you certain percentage depending on how much money it is. I think they have different range.

you can go ask any asnb office for more accurate details.

I don't think he got friend.
I think he IS the friend.
from my observation he leaked lots of "insider info" claimed to be from his "contact"
and the info seems too accurate and detail
I guess his "friend" is really kepochi one cannot keep things to himself even the things that are not supposed to say also he say one.

r u bumi? if bumi then means u open asb for your son. asb now cap for kids account up to 200k same with adults.

if asb always have units coz it's open ended. but got capping.

other funds no capping but close-ended, that's why limited unit availability. someone need to sell first, then only someone else can buy.

if you go withdraw at bank where you have an account, you can ask for direct transfer from asX to bank account. I always do that. But not sure if can do that for 5 digits. my max is always <10k

you guys.. I think you should not put here suggesting people to try do things like automating stuff and all. you dunno if there are people from ASNB actually reading and taking action on whatever you say here. maybe now you think ok, no harm etc. but you also know they're very influential company. if anything happen then you all die lor. and I dunno, but to me this is a bit unethical.

ASW2020 renamed
