If you have money to buy 20k that's good.. compared like others and me..can buy few hundred can smile liao haha..

It isn't an issue to let the ASM agent (bank) to have a copy of your IC. It’s the procedure. It doesn’t matter whether you cross it or not.

Borrowing money from bank to purchase ASM doesn’t make sense. I think those people must be the priority banking customers or having huge fund in their deposit accounts.

Most likely it won’t last until that long!

Crossing it is just an extra step of precaution. Most of the time its fine to leave it uncrossed.

Yalo, this morning when i bought despite I was the first in line, when the manager open the door some aunties just rushed and and straight away spam the ticket counter number . Some of us were cursing them silently. And then something hilarious happened. The aunties wanted to open new account but they forgot to bring a photocopy of their IC. The officer at the post office counter refused to photostat for them cuz the post office dont have photocopy machine. All of them have to leave and I was still the first customer of the day!

I think the asm will finish by the end of today .

No lar.. I meant the big customers of the bank who borrow millions from the bank for their business and sales purchase.

I was there at 2pm. I gave my bankers cheque with my book for top up. The lady gave me a receipt stating that i will have to come back on 28th to collect my book again.

Anyone experienced this b4? Why ah?

saturniq: i think its normal beacuse the cheque need some time to be cleared unlike cash .

Went to Malacca Maybank branch about 2.30pm just now. No queue and I was the 2nd one after a lady. Maybank has 1 officer in charge of this, so he is like taking queue numbers, checking forms and directing people to counters. After me was 3 other people in queue. Topped up my account in less than 10 minutes altogether including filling forms and waiting.

Lucky I didn't join the morning rush but then my same attitude cost me a chance for ASW since afternoon already finish for that fund.


I asked the counter lady if she could tell me how much left but she said she couldn't tell because she can't see it on her screen.

This morning so many aunties there in banks, post offices and anywhere...

When the post office opened, they were like ducks all ran inside and the ticket machine was nearly broken and jammed due to too many presses from aunties

My friend took number from Maybank since morning and she was #33 and now is 27.... LOL....

Lucky you. I went to PNB at 8am today and the queue was crazy!! So i took my number (556 ppl in queue) then went to work. I called the receptionist frequently to ask about the running numbers. Finally at 2.00pm, it was my turn.

I went to CIMB bank nearby at 11.30am, no queue, but they dont accept my banker's cheque

The PNB counter also told me that many units are still available. but most likely to finish by today.

Added on July 21, 2009, 3:50 pmThanks bro. I hope i managed to lock in the units. if not, it would be such a waste of time driving from PJ to PNB, PNB to PJ the whole day.

OMG, 556 ppl in queue and how they are going to be served?

CIMB, RHB not much people.Dunno y.Buy Maybank alot..The system always HANG.

Everyone just waited. Majority all non-bumi. I spoke to a few ppl, some came as early at 5.30am. Customer service is slow. They should have counters for "Top-ups" and "new applicants". Sigh.

LOL... 5.30am I was still in dreaming

Crazy..5.30am i am still in my dreams.

Siao 5.30...that desperate meh

Normally ASW bumi portion will not be open to all.

I am suprised to see that obviously everyone i met today isnt affected by the economy hahaha. .... they came in many books lioa! some with 4 books! wtf.

If can buy ASW2020 bumi portion sooo..good lol.. But according to record no right.? hehe..

Manage to bought 20k @ Maybank branch @ around 11am, how the status now? Is it still available?

lucky i manage to open an account, queuing in Maybank really frustrating me, i saw 6 person using 1 number and rushing to the counter and some of them even open account
