Hi folks,

Got into road accident on my way to work. The tyre punctured and my bike slipped.

Am I eligible for Socso claim?
Do I have to file a police report?

Thanks.

[WTA] Tax on US ETF

chairboy — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:36:19 +0800

Hi folks,

I'm considering to buy index ETFs in US, but as a non-resident alien (foreigner), my main concern is the 30% withholding tax on:
1. all dividend (especially the bond ETFs)
2. capital gains redistribution

Q1: Do I miss out anything other those 2 mentioned above?
Q2: Is the brokerage firm able to exclude the dividends derived from non-US sources for tax purpose?

From tax perspective, would it be a bad idea to hold US mutual fund/ETF as a foreigner?
Thanks.
