U should be asking which banks are in the panel. No point looking for cheapest but not approved by developer. Anw your rates look ok.

Pretty standard all are BLR - 2.4 for property below rm 1m. Lock period may differ 2-3years, key is when lock in period start from, if from first disbursement, construction period normally cover lock-in period. CIMB is the only one without lock-in.

Did ur friend took the cimb one and if so what's the rate ?
Ocbc quoted me BLR - 2.4 % lock in 3 yrs from first disbursement. Semi flexi loan. The Islamic loan there's no lockin but I m not taking that as I heard Islamic loan there is some bad points .
I ask the sales person to explore if can get without lockin.

approached sg maybank once...they advertise widely on oversea loan facility. they said only selected project are applicable. and would not review what are the selected projects. seriously doubt they into oversea loan.

Well I take msian bank loan as likely the ringgit will drop further in the near future..
lock in is not good if u intend to cash in or flip in a "short while" ...
unlike SG -in Msia not allow to sell while undercon..
So if lock in 3 yrs also by the time project completed in 3 yrs time can sell already .. So no diff actually if the period starts at point of disbursement :smile:

In unlikely situation no lock-in does matter i.e. project completed ahead of time like 1 year ahead, or developer issue cause first disbursement delay for above a year. Has seen this before...
