Why should you buy the rights when it is being listed? By that time, Maybank mother share would have gone ex-rights. You may as well buy the mother share instead.

Maybank charges service charge after the 4th withdrawal from their own ATM. What a joke! Other banks don't do that. Maybe Maybank has already run out of ideas on how to increase their profits.

Yes, I have an account with Maybank. True, Maybank can earn big money by using this hidden tactic BUT it also brings to light the bankruptcy of ideas among its top management staff. How capable are they ???
They have probably reached the end of the road. This is probably why they are trying to use an easier way by swallowing up RHB Bank. Grab their customers, retrench their staff and all the nonsense.

Other banks can also do it but they don't. They have plenty of ideas on how to make the bank more profitable.

The ominous sign is the coming change in foreign ownership laws. Try to guess how much Maybank's profit will fall if its ownership in BIL were to cut to 50%. An this is real, considering that Malaysia also have rules limiting foreign ownership of local banks to 30% and we can still prosper.
Implementing the new rules will certainly not damage Indonesia.

With MYR depreciating further, interest rates is set to rise next year with NPLs also rising. The banking sector probably would not see further growth in 2015.

If the MYR keeps dropping, the economy follows ... as in 1997

I foresee zero to negative growth in the banking sector next year. Asset quality will fall. That is why funds are now selling.

I do not think Maybank would be spared as the financial sector will be adversely affected. The prices of other banks have also dropped.

The finance sector will probably experience stagnant growth besides a challenging environment. NPLs, rise in interest rates, no demand for loans, ... No bank is immune to these threats.

Nothing will happen, I believe.
