Lots of negative stuff regarding 2016 ("a year to forget"):
- KLCI down for 3rd year in a row
- Earnings growth down for 4th year in a row (because of this shares still do not look cheap, on average, value probably more to be found in selected small and medium cap shares)
- Slowing domestic demand, ongoing political concerns, etc
The RM is at an all-time low level against the USD, but there might be value there, according to this graph:
I am not exactly an expert on "REER" (Real Effective Exchange Rate"), but if the above picture is an objective evaluation of the current situation, then the RM looks definetely cheap. However, buyer beware, things can stay cheap for a long time.

you need a drastic change in the ringgit perception or the Malaysia Governmnet governace. public empathy towards the running of the publc administration is clouding the ringgit true value.
