Poh Kong’s gold bar only can sell to them, no other goldsmith will buy them from you. I am not surprised if UOB or MBB also will not buy those PAMP if it’s not from them. So my question is “is there really great value in gold investment”?. If there is then why these gold merchants do not want to buy from you?
Gold is a good investment elsewhere but not in Malaysia, in Japan there is demand from merchants and private party where you can sell it to plenty of liquid buyers.
In Malaysia no one will buy it from you, gold merchants in Malaysia is skewed and unscrupulous, and make out all the excuse, the gold bar/bullion merchants will give all sort of excuse "cash tied up" etc not to buy back from you.
Pawn shop also cut throat.

I have been buying kijangs from Maybank and Roos, Lamps from UOB since 2002.
No problem selling.
Great investment. 2002 was around RM1200. Now around RM7000.
That is 11% CAGR.
Not too shabby!
Better open gold savings account, guaranteed can convert to cash, safer still from theft.
Don't buy physical gold in Malaysia.
