investors fleeing malaysia

About 11 billion ringgit (S$3.6 billion) worth of government bonds are due to mature on Wednesday and foreigners, who own on average 45 per cent of outstanding bonds, are seen likely to pull their cash out rather than re-invest it in Malaysian debt.

A widening political scandal and tumbling currency have steadily taken their toll on investor sentiment towards the Southeast Asian economy, unnerving its emerging Asian neighbours despite the central bank's efforts to contain the damage.

It does not make sense to buy Malaysia bonds from a foreigner perspective if the currency keeps on depreciating, just this year, it has drop more than 20% against the usd. Even if coupon rate is at 6%, you are looking at losses of more than 14% in currency losses, if the foreign funds originate from the US.

Time for Temasek to save the day.

Temasek is just like the typical Singaporean. They will only think of buying when someone wants to sell them something. How to get good bargains like that?

This is what I highlighted when everyone complained about CPF returns being way below Malaysia's EPF returns. I hope they have learned their lesson now.

All transactions involve a buyer and a seller you twit.

Only Lee Kam Yew sucker is interested endlessly for so called INVESTERS.

China only interested for short 10~15 years, and after that they are so rich, they don't need any investors, and not fucking interested any more in outside capitals.

Japan will never be interested to share any opportunity with any investors. Even when they have shortage of capital, they just shut their doors to outsiders permanently.

Compare SG vs PRC you see the clear difference between FAILURE & SUCCESS. PAP Lee Kam You fail forever, required investors from outside forever, never became self-sufficient in capital. They only proved failure and losses, or else there is no explanation where is CPF$, and why they can not be so rich like PRC after so many more years of taking foreign investments.

So called INVESTORS in LKY n PAP terms, can only be considered actually as FUND OWNERS for their money laundering services. They never were real investors, just came and launder dirty funds, once cleaned up immediately they take these funds to China or other places. Leaving PAP n SG forever so HUNGRY for so called INVESTORS.

CB understanding?

Any normal country should NEVER be constantly interested in so called investors. Only CB PAP Lee Kam Yew made it as if a fucking freak norm.

Opportunity of businesses and wealth is normally not so freely SHARED that way. Never open door to foreigners like that.

If your country is self sufficient and truely good, you can shut your doors tide and reject even visitors, never need to deal with any outsiders.

PAP opened their mouth, ass hole, CB, arms and legs all to whole world, that shows that they actually have nothing, not even a fucking brain!
