Investors in rush to snap up ASM shares

PETALING JAYA: The public made a beeline to Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB) branches and agents nationwide to buy share units as an insurance against the effects of the economic slowdown.

Many bought the Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) units, which were made available to the public yesterday, because they were attracted to the minimum 5% return on investment.
