INDIANS can now invest in Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS1M) after 1.5 billion additional units were opened for sale from yesterday, said Prime Minister Najib Razak.

“Starting today, the Indian community can invest in Amanah Saham 1Malaysia as 1.5 billion additional units have been made available specially for them as I had announced in #Bajet2018.

“Hopefully, this will further boost share ownership among the Indian community,” he tweeted yesterday.

On January 23, MIC president Dr S. Subramaniam said in Putrajaya nearly 50,000 Indians are likely to benefit from AS1M.

The distribution of AS1M by Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad is open until the shares are sold out. – Bernama, January 30, 2018.
