As what talexeh said.
Don't forget that local brokers will take a bite out of your dividend.
Best choice, open an account with a local London broker. That way, you only need to fund your account via bank TT. Cheaper commission and no one will take a bite out of your dividend.
Just submit application via mail/email. Make sure to have everything. If they want documents to be verified by commisioner of oath, do it.

Depends whether you are trader or income investor. Trader can easily gain 30% within few months. Income investor, not as much but you are assured of free money coming in every few months. Also depending on which market and how much capital you have.

Some people I know easily make 10% p.a from dividends. We haven't even factor in capital gains.

Depends la. If you can get 8% pa (dividends) not including capital gain, you will need RM/USD/GBP/HKD/SGD7.5m depending on which currency you want.

(50k x 12)/0.08 = 600k/0.08 = 7.5m

That you need to ask your broker do you support LSE? If yes what are the charges? Will there be extra "dividend fees"(broker will take x amount of your dvidend as fees). Why take a bite out from your dividend? Simple.
1) Broker are not charity organisation where they do it for you for free. If they can earn exrra money by not doing anything why not (eg collecting x amount of your dividend every 2-4x a year. They don't need to do anything and charge you dividend fees because you use their platform to buy LSE)
2) More admin work for them so of course need to charge more for it.

Hahaha... You wish. Malaysian banks won't accept foreign currency notes. You want to open foreign currency account, well you need to use RM (RM > Foreign currency). Of course some countries accept foreign currency notes but they charge you a certain % to deposit and withdraw in foreign currency notes.
