if you bought on ex-date, you wont be entitled to dividend.

theoretically the price (opening) has already taken into account of the dividend and ex the price by the same amount as the dividend already.

to the bank account you registered with your broker.

can't comment on MYEG, but for Maybank, don't think you will go wrong with it as the largest company in the country.

if mbb collapsed, the whole country's economy is in a turmoil.

apart from the prosperity tax, it is also a worldwide phenomenon and with the emergence of omicron, which shock the markets all around the globe.

As for investment in stashaway, you likely won't see immediate gain and you would most likely to see some negatives before you see gain, but i'd say, ride it out, it's for the long term. I am hoping that it stays down for a little longer so we are able to capture them at a relatively lower price. Yes, if you dun buy when the stocks are down, when? but the problem is, how low is low? how long it's gonna stay down? (considering opportunity cost here too).

so it's now just the malaysian market got affected and good luck.
