            <title>FD or pay down loan account</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3507498</link>
            <description>Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hypothetical question. Been cracking my head for a long time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assuming I have windfall RM100k cash and currently have a rented property (lets say current outstanding loan RM200k) and I declare rental income to IRB (meaning I can deduct loan interest expense against rental income). My current effective loan interest rate is 4.65%. My existing IRB tax rate for the rental income is 25%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the interim, I have an opportunity to place this RM100k into a FD with interest rate of 4.5% p.a.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which makes more sense or makes finalancially more sound: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(A) To place this RM100k into the FD and generate interest (at the same time pay more bank interest, but less income tax ultimately as the rental income is lower); OR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(B) pay down the loan of RM100k, and save bank interest but pay more income tax (of course forego the interest from FD).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also assume I pay sufficient taxes so we assume IRB investigating is not relevant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;!--emo&amp;:respect:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;  &lt;!--emo&amp;:thumbs:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbup.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>

            <title>Oettinger bodykits and rims</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1637198</link>
            <description>Anyone knows where to get original oettinger bodykits and rims in klang valley area? Have been searching the net but apparently not many companies stock them. Must be due to lack of popularity here? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
