How to find safe dividend stock in KLSE?

Over the past One years I’ve been investing in dividend paying stocks. Given the low rates on savings accounts, (about 3% in FD) I turned to “riskier” dividend stocks to get a better return on my money. Today I want to share a bit about my results and a resource I found to help identify dividend paying stocks that are considered safer.
