This is exactly what I wrote to Maybank tonight:
“I was told by two front-desk staff at Maybank KLCC branch on August 18, 2005 at about 3 pm, that I was ‘not allowed‘ to open an account at KLCC Maybank because I was not employed. I could only open one at a branch near my residence (Ukay Heights). That was the ‘bank procedure‘, I was told. My attempt to even make an appointment to open an account there was turned down cold-turkey. I may not be employed conventionally, but I do have an income from rental properties and I do save. Does your ‘bank procedure’ really refuse business from ‘unemployed’ customers, or was it just a case of ill-trained front-desk staff?”
