x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Sing Investment should be giving 3% for 10K placement. And if got senior citizen rate it is 3.125% A pity this finance companies ALWAYS NEVER update it's website pricing. You need call in to check out. Singapura Finance and Hong Leong does appear more modern as in update website pricing faithfully etc etc....

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi all Agree that MayBank offers the best FD rate in town, compare to some of the big local banks.  I've some funds parked with them.  The other bank could be the CitiGroup with their Unfixed Deposit offer.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	AFAIK banks open up do business in Spore hard to close shop. They need put a BIG deposit with some gahmen so in case they close shop that money is used to pay those ppl. As for your 5% most likely is illegal no pay taxes to gahmen wan correct? I am a law abiding citizens please don't try to tempt me :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I come to understand that putting ur money in FD will not mean that ur capital is preserved. Banks can go belly up. And MAS will not guarantee 100% return on FD. There is still risks in FD as not necessary all banks are bullet proof. Might as well lend me the money i can give u 5% return.Haha

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I agree casino offers better returns but I always advovate diversification. So you should not be putting 25K into casino. For ppl looking to preserve capital FD is still a better alternative albeit the returns are low compared to casino :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	For FD as of current, Maybank iSavvyFD  is offering 3.15% for 25K placement. It is better than FSM and Finatiq I tink.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The current interest is 2.59% irregardless of how much you deposit. The interest rate changes daily and the interest is accured every 3 months. There is no tax for the interest earned.  The withdrawal transaction from FSM to my designated saving accts works well for me as it typically less then the T+3 day.  Hope this helps.
