not sure about Malaysia , dynamic ip will change every 6 months in Singapore

static IP will stay forever for you, if u using CCTV , recommend using DDNS from the CCTV system

dynamic normally cheaper then static ip

That's about the gist of it.

He's asking about private vs public, not dynamic vs static. In Malaysia both private and public IP are dynamic unless subscribe business package with fixed IP. The dynamic IP changes everytime you make a connection (turn on router).

For private vs public IP, there shouldn't much difference if you don't do anything that requires direct access to your home network from the Internet. If you need to such as CCTV and hosting then public IP is a must. Other than that, the only thing is probably some sites may block you or present captcha on private IP since it detected alot of connections from the same public IP that many private IP users are sharing.

Private IP means the router WAN IP is in the private IP range. This is because the ISP ran out of IPv4 addresses and therefore made several customers share the same public IP. Basically it's like a double NAT connection. You can't host anything with this type of connection because there is no public IP that can directly route to your router.

Public IP:
Internet----- (public IP) home router (private IP) ------ internal home network

Private IP:
Internet-------- (public IP) ISP router/NAT-------- (private IP) home router (private IP) ---------- internal home network

Meanwhile, if one opts for IPv6.....better pray all devices have proper IPv6 firewall in place. All direct point-to-point connectivity with IPv6.
Last time, NAT 'accidentally' act as filter/firewall for IPv4, with IPv6....hmmm.....unless one can configure NAT-ed IPv6....... hmm.gif  but it is pointless in first place.

Well, IPv6 is supposed to get rid of NAT requirement. Some routers like Asus have a properly working IPv6 firewall. It's a firewall not a NAT. Blocks incoming connections but doesn't change the address.
