since i was not busy this morning, i opted to try for some ASW2020 units at the local bank. a long queue had already formed even before the bank opened at 9.15am.
why would a doctor in private practice join a queue like this, you ask. hey, in these difficult times, every little bit counts! i even filled in the forms & wrote out the cheque last nite. maybe that's the reason, despite the long queue, i still managed to be 5th in line to purchase.
actually, this is my 1st foray into ASW2020. last week, i topped up some ASM units & was pleasantly surprised there was NO queue. thus, i was taken aback at the small crowd this morning. is there something i do not know about ASM & ASW2020?
i hope the kids appreciate what i'm doing for them!!

I am from East Malaysia. Last week I applied for ASM and was pleasantly surprised that the wait was short. The service was efficient and staffs friendly. If I am not mistaken recently a total of RM5 bil was issued under ASM, plus RM2 bil for W2020 equals less crowd!

so good you manage to buy some units. Nice.
AT,
thks for your comment.
i'm beginning to think that it's easier to get those units at smaller branches or smaller towns.
RM5b was offered for the sukuk fixed deposit, 3.3b for ASM & 2b for ASW2020.
even easier to get if you are a bumiputra!
Superman,
thks for your comment.
i guess the patience at the queue paid off (but can't be sure till they announce the dividends next year!)
