Went to Maybank today.
Me: I would like to open a current account.
Officer: Do you have an introducer?
Me: I already have a current account with your bank for years. It is an account with your Bidor branch though. It is rather problematic for me to request for cheque book. I would like to open a new account in this branch.
Officer: For that, we will need to verify it with the Bidor branch manager.
Me: Obviously. I will sign it on your form. You can then fax it to him, or whatever.
Officer: Why not I give you this form? You can go to the Bidor branch when you balik kampung, look for the manager and verify it.
Me: …….. (My jaw dropped. I can’t come out with a single word. I have never heard anything more ridiculous than this!)
I know Maybank has plenty of half-brainer as their officers, but this guy really beats them all!
Why still wan to open acc with ‘them’ wor..Open with someone else ler…U got so many banks ard ur place..easy nia..
You can post this as a joke…haha, really don’t expect this kind of answers from a bank officers…
Is Bidor very far from your place? Sorry, never heard of that? hehe…
Change bank lah! With a staff lidat, I can expect more ‘vomit blood’ issues.
Eve, ECL Immediately I walk out of the bank, and open an account in Public Bank.
Bidor is about 1 hour 30 mins from PJ
i hope that tiger bank got internet surfers reading blogs!
perhaps, you try a foreign bank lar.
dont tell me cannot check from system…
Maybe that so-called officer is a trainee…
haha…
Did you speak to the officer? I hope you did because dis is absurd liao.
I support your action of choosing with your money. I hope Maybank management google their company name everyday to see what brickbats come to them.
Nice new layout, Yenjai!
Bernard, I doubt Maybank will bother with that
support the chinese banker lah ..
Maybe you should tell the officer that the computer has been invented already.
You: Can you fax it over?
Officer: Fax?
You: What about an email? You have internet access don’t you?
Officer: I’m sorry you must be confused. I’m not a fisherman. What is this net you are talking about?
You: Can you use the telephone to call Bidor branch?
Officer: Telephone?
You: Yes, that thing sitting on your desk. It rings and you have to pick it up…
Officer: Oh, is that what it is? I thought it’s an alarm clock or something. Every time it rings I stand up and sing national anthem until it stops.
You: *thinking* Even if I blog about this nobody’s going to believe me.
Ok I’m getting carried away liao… this isn’t my blog :p
Adino, welcome to my blog.
Haha, the officer might kick you out of his office
mayb tat day the officer din bring brain to office ler~
baby, haha.
I have quite a bit of experience dealing with this particular officer.
I would say that … most of the days … his brain is elsewhere rather than in the skull…
another anencephaly on the move?
LOL
chen, I can’t disagree with that
