No problem. But I rather be cautious than careless.
Yes I have both. But I am planning to migrate my FSM MY to POEMS SG. Of course it's much more cost saving. 0% service charge + 0% platform fees + 0% switching fees, what more can you ask
Note:I haven't buy anything from POEMS SG yet but I have already drafted out what to buy and my allocation for it. Reason for not buying yet:
1) FSM MY profit haven't reach my desired level. So I have't sell anything yet. Yes I am greedy.
2) No money to buy as my money is used to buy Singapore counters (need to generate some SGD). Will only use money allocated for FSM MY to buy using POEMS SG
3) Everything seems so expensive now.
4) My allocation will be based on this
http://www.turtleinvestor.net/asset-allocation/ with some slight modification which include JP small caps, no reits for me as I am holding S-reits myself.
Strategy1) Sell off FSM MY once personal target is reach one fund at a time.
2) Keep money in Maybank eGIA-i/Amanah saham (they have online system now so can park money there instead of driving to the bank) until SGD exchange is favorable. Withdraw for exchange. Unless real crisis happen then will just TT my money over.
3) Make my x annual trip to SG with max money allowed to bring and deposit in CDM.
4) I can park the money in bond fund first and switch to any of equity fund that I want to buy as switching is FOC.
5) Buy using data from FSM SG. Yes I admit their interface + data is the best compare to POEMS SG/Dollardex.
A very good argument about whether a SG UT can yield more money vs MY UT using same amount of money.

Something which the hotels don't like. Well it's my money. If someone can give me a better deal than hotel I will take it. If they can even offer better deal than Airbnb so be it
Well FSM was good. I believed they are the one which cause the likes of Dollardex/POEMS to appear? If you can't keep up with competition, you will fade away even if you are the pioneer. That's how capitalist work.
As long as they have customers like Auntie, FSM SG won't die
Nah. That won't share. Nobody may want to kidnap him but people might be interested in his grandparents/siblings, future wife/kids especially if someone keep track of that person and decide to launch a kidnap once they are on vacation. One can never be too safe with so many foreigners + syndicates operating in Malaysia.
How do you think people's house get broken into? One of the reason they went and post it all online saying they are going away on holiday for x days

People post it on forums/blogs/FB/instagram.
May I remind everyone that wealth is not the most important asset. Time is.
To someone else, it might just not worth the time to-and-fro Singapore for that few dollars earned.
To simplify things, this is a simple calculation :
True Investment Value = Money Earned(or Saved) Divided by Time Spent Travelling (hours/days)
If say, you saved 50 dollars extra by travelling to Singapore which takes probably around 5 hours to-and-fro (total of 10 hours). So, your true investment value is 50 dollars/10 = 5 dollars per hour.
You are in actual fact being paid 5 dollars per hour for your time and effort. This has not taken into consideration of logistic, accommodation and F&B costs.
It might be a different story if you have a relative in Singapore whom you visit often or you travel to Singapore for work often. IMO, travelling there just to save that few pennies is totally not worth it.
Do not be "Penny Wise, Pound Foolish". Save on toilet papers, but spend lavishly on Ferraris.
