what do you mean by short? you want to do Intraday Short Sell? If that's the case. You can't as Rakuten does not participate in IDSS.
if you are asking to buy and then sell same counter within the same day, they have rebate for broker fee. Instead of RM7 x 2, you will be charge RM7 only for the broker fee.

it will be automatically charge and if have rebate, they will give back at the end of the day

yes. buying multiple times in 1 counter in the same day and board lot will be calculated as 1 trade. trading fee will be based on total value of buying for that counter..
but if you trade odd lot even the same counter in the same day, it will be consider as different trade and will not lump into 1 value.

rakuten does not allow short selling as they are not participating organization.

Rakuten use CDS nominee under Kenanga. So you will not receive any hard copy quarterly report for any share you hold. Even if you want to attend AGM, you have to let Rakuten knows as the share is under Kenanga Nominees not your name.

when Rakuten want to implement cut-loss function??? very slow la Rakuten

M+ is different. CDS is under your name, not nominee. I also have M+ account. Their live trade screen is much better than Rakuten and also have interactive chart by Chartnexus. Brokerage fee also very good if you are using cash only account.

For contra account, Rakuten is better. Rakuten need to improve on trading limit value. Now need to wait until end of trading then they will update the trading limit value. Too slow

I have been asking Rakuten to implement it since Day 1 i open the account with them. Call their customer service, send multiple email, yet the answer is "We going to send the proposal to management". Cut loss is very very important function. So, we no need to worry so much about the stock.

Yes Dayang is the right example for this. If we are full day trader then it should be no problem, but a lot of people don't have the luxury to become full day trader.

i would say its better and more efficient to open trading account online. government want more and more public to own/invest in stock market. they are making it easier for public to invest.

first you need to ask why you want to use FSM? its more to own trust fund and trade bonds.

if you want to own REIT like SUNREIT, IGBREIT, KLCC, etc that are listed in Bursa Malaysia, go with stock broker company i.e Rakuten, M+ which give the cheapest trading fee and good trading platform.

since 18th December, REIT sector have been outperforming KLCI by 9%.

I am not quite sure what happen if RT kaput. Just we can make a complaint to SC through SIDREC. But that is claim up to 250k.
