On ASM shares: Maybank so lame
Andy Song: To all those want to buy PNB unit trusts, please do not go to the agents (Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Pos Malaysia). I have tried these places as early as 2006 but was always unsuccessful.
I got some ideas from my family members. They told me to go the ASNB offices. The ASNB offices normally open four counters (two for new applications, and two for top ups).
It is more easier to do the transactions at the ASNB offices. There are almost 12 branches in Malaysia ie,.KL, Shah Alam, Seremban, Melaka, Ipoh, Kangar, K Terengganu, Kota Bahru, Putrajaya, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Alor Star.
New applications take only around 10 minutes while top ups only take around less than five minutes. But you must queue up from around 5am - 6am to get a number.
The ASNB offices open at 8am and you can start to buy from 8am.
On ASM/ASW shares: Different banks, different rules
HJ Angus: It appears that the ASM/ASW fund managers are either asleep or just couldn't be bothered about service standards.
The method through which they distribute the allocation is similar to what MIDFCCS used to do 25 years ago with public share issues.
That system of application and processing can be adopted for ASM/ASW if only the fund manager takes the trouble to make good use of ICT.
It will save time, energy and costs for all Malaysians who want to invest for the future. Here is how it will work over a period of say 30 days:
1. Citizens are allowed to open a ASM/ASW account with RM10 with any bank in Malaysia.
2. The fund manager will announce the size of the offering and the rules for subscribing like:
a. size of the issue like RM2 billion
b. first time subscribers limit like RM10k
c. other limits like RM20k to 50k depending on balance in account; and
d. time to subscribe like within 12 days for first timers and then open to others if the issue not fully subscribed.
The way things are managed, it appears that Malaysians are being penalised with both the hassle of filling even more forms and also allowing the bank to make use of depositors' funds during the processing.
On Sujatha inquest: Docs say samples from actress went missing
Maniam Sankar: So many years after the event, it is now reported that the medical test results were not available on a suspected poisoning case.
Don't the doctors responsible have anyone to report to eg, the hospital administration or the police, if test results don't come back?
Do the just carry on with the next case? Isn't there an element here of criminal neglect?
Surely the evidence thus far itself stinks of dirty tricks and either the police or the MACC must go in now while the incident is still fresh in the witnesses' minds.
Where test results were not returned, criminality must be imputed. The excuse that there is no evidence should be the reason to investigate. IGP, what now?
On Pak Lah made adviser to MAS
Help The Poor:
I think it's time the government put a full stop to these ‘rewards' which have been going on way too long.The people know what 's going on with this so-called advisory jobs - more wanton use of taxpayers' money.
If the whole gang of CEO, COO, CFO, Gms, senior managers can't figure out how best to run an organisation and need the advice of retirees who have no on-hands experience to run the specific business, those guys would have been sacked in the real world.
As for the retirees, if now is not the time to give back to the society by doing charity work, then when?
Most of our charitable organisations are already screaming for money and volunteers.
Jesmine:
These have been such an insight to read. I have been shocked at the four stories I read this far.Human rights work abroad in Africa?
We Malaysians have so much to do in our own backyard.
Thanks for these His/Her-story to educate us of our fellow Malaysians.
Poh Lerk Shih: Thank you for writing and publishing these articles that have opened my eyes to a Malaysia that I had only heard rumours of.
If ever journalism was a calling for anyone, it is yours.
