How to Invest in Silver in Malaysia?

Ever since I've posted an article titled 'Silver, the New Gold', I've been receiving some emails from readers on different ways to buy silver in Malaysia. In today's article, I'll be posting several ways to invest in Silver in Malaysia.
1) The Kelantan Dirham
In the beginning, the Muslims used gold dinar & silver dirham by weight and the dinar and dirhams that they used were made by the Persians. It was until 100 years later, Malaysia through the Kelantanese government was proud to be the first Muslim government in the world to introduce Shariah Currency. Interestingly, after Kelantan announced the big news to the world, Perak annouced that they will soon become the second state in the country to introduce the gold dinar and silver dirham currency to give its people more savings options.
2) Public Gold
In March 2010, a local company from Penang, Public Gold announced the launch of Public Silver. The silver bars are available in 500g and 1kg silver bars.
One important lesson that I've learnt about investing in silver is this.. It is always easy to buy silver anytime, anywhere. The problem lies not in the buying process but the selling process instead. When we buy a piece of precious metal, we are investing for long term. That's one thing for sure. The question is.. Can you still find the company that sold you the silver to sell it back to them years later? Therefore, it is very important for me to purchase silvers which are issued as a country's legal tender under the respective country's currency or monetary act. The following are the 3 silvers that I've personally invested so far:
3) US Silver Eagle
The first silver coin that I've invested was the American Silver Eagle, the official silver bullion coin of the United States. The US Silver Eagle was first released by the United States Mint on November 24, 1986. The main reason I begin with the US Silver Eagle was the astounding investment liquidity. Aside from the Silver Eagle coin being legal tender in the United States, officially worth one US dollar, their design and US government backing makes them convertible into currency worldwide.
4) Canadian Maple Leaf
The second silver investment that I've ever had was the Canadian Maple Leaf, the official bullion coin of Canada which is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint. The Royal Canadian Mint has minted the silver Maple Leaf since 1988. This is the purest silver coin in my collection with a 99.99% fine silver purity. The Royal Canadian Mint is one of the most respected mints in the world due to their adherence to quality and purity. The face value of the silver Maple Leaf is set to 5 Canadian Dollars though its intrinsic silver value is far higher as the coins are traded the world over according to the market rate for silver.
5) Australian Perth Mint
The latest silver investment in my collection is the Australian Perth Mint Silver Lunar Rabbit. The silver coin features two rabbits nestling under foliage on the reserve.
The reverse of each coin depicts two rabbits nestling under foliage. The Chinese character for 'rabbit' and the inscription 'Year of the Rabbit' also appear in the design with The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark.
Issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2011 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse of each coin.

GOLD...GOLD....GOLD

The IMF's secrecy regarding the gold it holds and its repeated announcements related to the sale of the same amount of gold have led many into the radical belief that, actually, it does not own any gold at all. Their argument goes as follows: it is one thing to have physical gold in your reserves and it's a completely different thing to have claims to the gold of central banks worldwide, which, as members of the IMF, have to contribute to its lending pool. The central banks themselves may not have the said gold in its physical form in their vaults, but loaned somewhere. Why would IMF hide particulars about its amount of gold or its very existence? Well, to bully the market with a massive sale and keep the gold price as low as possible.
On the other hand, last year in September, IMF announced the sale of its 400 tons of gold as part of the five-year central bank gold sales agreement, in the conditions in which IMF is not a central bank. This deal involved the sale of 2,000 tons of the precious metal. This meant a decrease in gold sales from the previous deal (2,500 tons), and it also included the IMF's 400 tons. How to interpret this other than as the unwillingness of central banks to sell their gold? And the intention of giving the false impression on the gold market that there is a lot to be sold, especially if considering the inclusion of the IMF gold and the repeated announcements (over two years and a half) on the part of this institution regarding its original gold sale?
After IMF sold half of its 400 tons to India in November 2009, and the official sales of gold by central banks have almost ended (these banks becoming instead eager gold buyers), only the remaining amount of the IMF's gold has been left to be sold for the next five years.
No wonder then that by October this year, the International Monetary Fund has remained with only 32.7 tons of the 400 tons of gold bullion it planned to sell. The previous amounts were sold on the open market and not to a central bank or some significant buyer. Analysts expect this last amount to be sold by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. While this amount is by no means a large one, it raises interest because this is considered to be the last official sale of gold.
And this means the removal of the last obstacle to the steady raise in the gold price. The demand is staggering: central banks have become avid buyers of gold due to the instability and fluctuations of currencies, retail investors that buy by ounce can determine a sharp increase in the price, the Indians and the Chinese alike seem to get used to higher gold prices and need more and more jewelry and, last but not least, the industrial demand for gold arises from a vital necessity. With the production ever dwindling, what will happen with the price now, when there is no fear of any future massive gold sale on the market?
When deciding to invest in gold have into consideration buying Gold Bullion coins, which have 99.9% purity.
