ASM

Last Saturday, saw the advertisement PNB is going to launch another ASM for non-bumi on Monday 1/12/2008. Aiyah, why I always miss the news, Saturday is just too late to do any transaction, I am running out of money to buy this so call ‘better than fixed deposit’ investment tool.

At last, I borrowed some money from hubby, which he needs to transfer the money from his account (different bank) to mine, and without knowing that actually the GIRO banking is only ‘working’ on weekday, and one processing at every night, money didn't appear in my account. Shit……

At last, I borrowed some money from mummy, who has the account in the same bank as mine. At last, money show up in my balance.

Thinking this have no bumi and non-bumi quota, should be able to purchase even if going a bit late to the bank, I went to bank at around 9.30am. Suprisingly, the crowd is even larger than the ASW 2020! My queue was 40+, where for ½ hour, they only manage to open 2 new accounts!

An ‘aunty’ come to me and tell me, why not you guys go to POS and open the account, then only come back to top up the account. (Normally top up is faster than opening account). So, I went to POS, and open account, well, they are really fast, the only problem is they only accept cash. With current safety issue in whole Malaysia, who dare to bring along 10 – 20 K around to POS ? But surprisingly, I saw a few uncle and aunty wanted to top up, and, they just ‘bang’ a big envelope (full of cash) and pass it to the cashier !!

Wah, I am thinking next time should I do the same : measuring the risk of kena robbed and the extra time of 3 hours waiting in queue ?
