I wrote in my earlier post about how the unsold units of the Amanah Saham Nasional are such a waste if they are still kept unopened to interested investors come the end of the initial offer period.
With the recent developments of the Indians complaining that certain banks are telling them that the Indian quota units have all been sold out when a check indicates that the quota has not been fully subscribed draws to light how all these practises are not transparent at all.
Why do we even need to sell the units by quotas to different races? If we are now striving to be 1 Malaysia under Najib’s new leadership, I’d say let’s do away with such division of privileges and let the ASM and ASW Wawasan 2020 bond units be free flowing for all kinds of investors to purchase.
You can limit an individual’s purchase so that everyone gets a fair chance to buy some of these good bonds as investments, but no quotas, please!

Yes, NO QUOTA. At the maximum, a quota based on INCOME LEVEL, not RACE.
Yes! No QUOTA! I believe the government should be fairer!
At least I’m not alone in feeling this way…
I’m a Malay and I’m proud to say that I didn’t buy any of this Amanah Saham bs.
So I suppose then you sure weren’t one of those who made a bee-line of a queue for it yesterday
