Hard to say… in terms of earnings, AmBank and HL Bank are still around one-third or less of Maybank and Commerz. Their capital base have to increase substantially before reaching that level.

As we are all aware that Maybank and CIMB shareholders owned by goverment servant. Expected that if anything happened to them, high priority by goverment will take care both, compared with AmBank and Hong Leong Bank which is running by an individual. My prediction that in future AmBank and Hong Leong Bank will replaced both of them. The reason is let say for incoming National Election (maybe 2012) the existing government is lost, the new goverment will take care other than Maybank or CIMB ie AmBank and Hong Leong Bank.
Agree or not agree ???

You need to be quite careful with Maybank and CIMB coz they both made some serious blunders recently which will have long term impact. Foongpc – agree that government will bail them out if anything happens. Lisa -for Maybank I’m not sure how their Indonesian move will turn out. It is quite a big bite for them and if things don’t work out it will drag their earnings for a long term. On the retail banking side, other local players are upping their game and I think Maybank will loose market share if not careful.

I don’t know but I think Maybank and CIMB are safer banks. If anything happens to these two banks, the Government will surely save them. Not too sure about other banks like Public Bank, Alliance Bank, etc.

AMMB Holdings (AMMB)
Hong Leong Bank (HLBANK)
Malayan Banking (MAYBANK)
Bumiputra-Commerce (COMMERZ)

I still find MAYBANK more attractive…
