I'd open a public bank account a few years ago due to my previous working company need it to direct bank in the salary. After stop working in that company i very seldom use that account only use it to do some small amount transaction. Until last month when i want to deposit money in that account with machine it shows me something like "ACCOUNT INACTIVE / ACCOUNT UNAVAILABLE". I think it's because usually i just do transaction online and didn't deposit any money in and the account has been less than rm20 in it that's why it's inactive.

But i wanted to know if i go to the bank to deposit money in it and request to use back the same account number is it possible?

*I'd call to the bank but they call me to go to bank only can check. I'm working actually so i can't just go to the bank and wait for a few hours to check. Especially after wait for a long time but in the end if they can't give me what i want.. Just wanted to know any sifu can tell me is it possible to get back the same account number?

THANKS
