If we sell our US stocks and wish to transfer our capital gains back to Malaysia, will BNM block it under our money laundering laws? Im concerned the funds will be allowed in but we will be unable to touch the funds.

Has anybody successfully transferred funds from the US stock brokerages to Malaysian local bank accounts this year? If so, what amount and were there any problems? Please advice.

Nowadays with all the money laundering scandals and risks, most banks are becoming very stringent when receiving international funds. Thats why im keen to know if anybody has done recent fund transfers from US stock brokers into Malaysian banks. Because if i see it as being a big risk, i may just opt to purchase US stocks on the Maybank platform going forward. I already have a significant holding on IBKR now but just concerned about the future.

As investors we always plan for the future. Its foolish to assume everything will be fine and then sit back and relax. Of course i know the problem is not IBKR.
