Is it an optional for the DRP? Best to get it or get cash dividend?
My brokerage account still have no news about it yet. I am using Rakuten.

Hahaha, wow unbelievable. Congrats to u too!
For nominee account? Cant just inform and appoint re-miser to do it?
https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_inform...?ann_id=3109067you all should read the announcement.
in this announcement dated 27 Nov 2020, it mentioned:
(i) BNM has approved the the increase in share capital pursuant to the 19th DRP.
(ii) the application of listing of new quotation, or what we normally define as Additional Listing Application "ALA") has been submitted to Bursa for approval, for this process, typically it takes about 2 weeks to 4 weeks to approve. or some cases it could be faster depending on many situation, one of it being that Bursa is just within walking distance to MBB, so it should be quick. LOL.
So right now what we have to do is just to wait for their announcement.
But to answer your question
rocketm which is better?
Based on historical issuance (the 18 issuances prior to this 19th issuance), the shares issued under this DRP were priced at almost or near 10% discount, let's just take it at 10% discount for illustration (normally around 9.x% discount and while this 10% discount being the max discount pursuant to the Main Market Listing Requirement). so technically speaking, you are using your cash dividend to buy new MBB shares at 10% discount, do you think it is worth it or not?
But the only downside is that, this DRP will normally leave you with odd lots which make you harder to sell your odd lot in the odd lot market (inconsistent volume with hefty discount usually).
If you wanna go into nitty gritty aka count die grass:
1. You don't need to pay any brokerage fee to buy the new MBB shares, you will only need to buy the nominal stamp duty or equivalent.
2. if you buy from the market, it is typically without the 10% discount and you will have to pay your normal brokerage fee.
So with the above, you will have to decide whether you want to have more discounted mbb shares? or you want cash entirely?
To answer your 2nd question, your broker account - Rakuten still no news about it? what news do you want? please read the announcement i posted the link above and then wait for MBB's next announcement, these kind of things take a month or so to complete, it was only announced last week. Also, I think your Rakuten account is direct CDS account right? If yes, then your Rakuten will not be involved at all and they would not recommend you what to do (except for your friend friend dealer or remisier), no additional fee incur as compared to nominee account described below. You will receive the form from MBB's share registrar and deal with them directly (please read my earlier post).
HereToLearn, for nominee account, just instruct your dealer/remisier, they will do it for you at a fee.
