Alvin’s Weblog

As much as I would like to make this blog kids safe, I just can’t because I have to put up with idiots on a daily basis. If you guys would recall, I lost my wallet a couple of days ago. Basically, I lost all my essential stuffs like my IC, my driver’s license, my credit cards, my ATM card as well as some cash.

This is further complicated by the fact that my bank book is in Kuching AND my ATM card could not be renewed anywhere except Kuching. This practically leaves me with no means for withdrawal of money, which of course, I need badly since I am cash limited.

So, of course, I got myself a replacement IC, which would only come in 3 weeks time. Therefore, I am now holding a temporary IC. With it, I expect to get a new bank account to deposit my pay cheque and then withdraw some money for my survival. So, I headed over to Maybank The Curve eagerly hoping to open a new account. When I went there, I got this classic reply…

“Sir, we do not allow any opening of accounts with a temporary IC…”

So, this would then be my reply for them, which of course I didn’t do, since I was rushing… Anyway, this is what I think:

What the fark is wrong with you people? Why is it that I can’t open an account with a temporary IC? Already, here I am, being miserable because I lost my essential stuffs and in desperate need for cash and you idiots are telling me I cannot open an account with a temporary IC? GO FARK YOURSELF!!! Do you expect me to farking live for 3 weeks on RM150 until I get my IC replacement? WHAT THE FARK WERE YOU GUYS THINKING!!??!! Are you saying I am gonna cheat the bank just because I have a temporary IC? People, the temporary IC is an original copy ISSUED BY the NATIONAL REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT OF MALAYSIA, OK!!!!! MOTHERFOOKERS!!! Why the fark is it so hard for me to open an account. It’s business for you guys and I was going to bank in at least a grand!!! You don’t want business?!?!!? FINE BY ME!!!! I have a bank account, 2 credit cards, and a hirepurchase loan with you guys and you’re FARKING SCARED I’ll cheat you guys? MOTHERFOOKERS!!!! FARK security. Don’t talk security with me. This is just absurd. If I were holding a photostated copy of the temporary IC, that’s completely understandable BUT I am holding the FRIGGIN’ ORIGINAL COPY~! !@*^#!*&@%&@#%@#

To any readers working for Maybank, yes, this is how discontent I am with their service. I was hoping to open another Maybank account as it has a wider network of ATMs. If you are working for Maybank, get your boss to read this post. I don farking care. I wanna let the whole world know how discontent I am with Maybank. Hell, you can even call me up and gimme a piece of your mind and I’ll assure you I’ll give you a hundred pieces of mine. Piss me off like that again, and I will not hesitate to switch banks.

Then I went to Hong Leong bank to open an account and walla, what do you know? Effortless! For that, I would like to extend by deepest gratitude to the friendly staffs at Hong Leong Bank Damansara Perdana in assisting me in my account creation. It was a great sense of relieve for me to finally be able to cash in my long overdued pay cheque. Thank you very much!

So tell me people, why is it wrong for me to open an account with a temporary IC? Justify the security issue in it. If there really was a security issue, Hong Leong bank would have been long screwed before I could even open an account with them. In fact, their policy when you lose your cards is to file a police report, close the existing account and reopen a new one with the temporary IC. Maybank, thank you very much for making my life a miserable hell. So much for being the bigger and better bank, and you are being rediculed over such a matter?!?! Ain’t worth it…!!!
