Witholding tax on interest gain of 5% is minimal compared to overall amount you are potentially getting. Don't worry about the witholding, more attention should be paid on the particular currency strength against RM and the interest spread.

The main purpose on investing in this kind of FD is to hedge against RM depreciation through asset diversification.

I don't know the lastest budget to abolished tax on interest getting on saving/FD is including Forex FD or not. Need to check out first, anyway, it is next year issue.

if not mistakenly, 5% withholding tax only imposed if your FD is over RM100K or equivalent to other foreign currency in FCFD.
Normally, if you have such amount of money, the banker will recommend you to split your deposit to a few accounts in order to avoid the tax.
