I highly doubt anyone could. Its like terms and conditions in Singapore on Fix deposit account, one of the criteria would be, "Must be Singaporean over 21 of age". Kind of sure same/similar regulation applies for Indonesia too.

Then again, there are always way/s to work around that, legally.

I doubt so. Not sure about UOB but i think one can open an investment account in Singapore to trade foreign currency or invest in that country's currency if there is a promotion deal going on in that particular bank.

Interest rate may not be as high as in those Indonesian investing in Indonesia banks but well, definitely higher than the 2.22% on Singapore dollar.

However, a very important note is that investing in Singapore in Singapore dollar were covered under some sort of assurance up to the principle sum of S$75k and that applies to Indonesia on Indonesia bank up to 2 billion rupiah (if i did not remember wrong) with some T&C. BUT, they are not covered for foreign currency, eg. Investing rupiah in Singapore bank and/or Singapore dollar on Indonesia Bank.

i have other plans tho,if my choice were to invest in Rupiah on Singapore bank and/or be investing Rupiah in Indonesia bank.
