    i was referring to the fees bro. for interest rates, cannot just look at loan rates alone. also need to see its twin brother - deposit rates (cost of funding). i.e the net interest spread. Agree that mortgage interest is definitely high and have to take steps to address it...such as using...

    Thanks sis. Wow. they really have a full range of loan types to cater to all needs. Amazing. But i still prefer the std flexi loan cos it works exactly like an overdraft account and set up is lower at RM200 tho there is a monthly fees at RM10. At least allows me to use the money in the...

    like the causeway and 2nd link, there are also basically 2 methods.... 1. Slow but cheap walk in Money changer better rate (2.41) slow especially for large sums. as rightly pointed by bro Asianbo, they will break up the money into RM10K per day. a painful process if you have large...

    u will be surprised bro. within 6 months they have transformed some of the units from just wall structures into about 70% done. Once more resources are freed up with more units done, the rest will get done in double quick time too. Actually one part of me hope they do quickly, cant wait to...

    Bro. in fact there is no need to buy the fans from SG. KDK prices in JB are way lower than SG.

    hi bro. most banks in malaysia are giving more than 3+% for FD. Singaporeans can place FDs in Msia banks. NO PROBLEM.
