Skim Amanah Rakyat 1Malaysia aka Sara 1Malaysia: Easy Money!!

Posted by Kris | Friday, January 13, 2012 | | 3 comments »


Earn RM134 EVERY MONTH for the RM5,000 invested in the form of dividends. Wow..it means RM134 x 12 = RM1,608. This is a 32% guaranteed return per year!!  (I wished my investment returns is that high)

You can even borrow money to invest where you get RM50 per month instead of RM134. 

So go and buy buy buy!!!

Better than any hedge fund or any gold scams that promises to give like 2% per month (24% per annum))

Launch date is 12 Jan 2012.
Participating banks: Maybank, CIMB, RHB, and Bank Simpanan National. 

When to RUSH to the banks to invest: 30 Jan 2012 --> I bet a lot of  people will queue up at the banks a few day before.

What is it all about??
