Dog Day Afternoon at the Banks

Turtle pace?

Hong Leong Bank at the SEAPARK branch has gone from bad to worse.

Today, they open only two service counters and two customers hogged them to do onerous tasks that took almost 25 minutes each. I almost grew buttress roots waiting for service!

Then it was off  to Maybank to buy some bank drafts. Not only was I shocked that they charge RM5 commission to issue per draft but worse was to come when  they insist I go home and bring my cheque book to issue a cash cheque to pay for the drafts as  they do not accept deductions from my current account.

Pre-computer times?

Jeez, what on earth has Malaysian banking come to? 

The pits! That's what!
