It all boils down to whether you like RCE capital, the company. This Preference share is 96% held by Tan Sri, and you can expect big spread and thin volume till 2019.
RCE is really a big contrast to MBSB, unable to capitalise on loan growth in Malaysia.
RCE should have no problem in paying you back in cash in 2019's redemption. If it needs cash, it will ask from bankers and ordinary shareholders from now till 2019.
20sen a year preference share dividend is not much but you will get 3% higher than return on fixed deposit, but the bigger consideration is whether RCE is likely to improve in coming years so that you can convert your preference shares to ordinary shares to enjoy the capital gain. If you believe RCE will improve, this preference share is a good option as it has the insurance of cash payback at issue price of 38sen a preference share.

Non-cumulative preferential dividend of 20% (equivalent to 2 sen). Ex-date 25/11/13. Stock price 32sen. Dividend yield = 6.25%. Is it worth buying ?
