Seriously?

There was no such thing when I opened mine two years ago. Perhaps if you have a referral (parents, cable with some people with Maybank etc.), you can try your luck?

Going to different branches may help, but why you need a source of income as proof also if this is only for a normal savings account also really baffles me. It is very strange though, usually they are not so like what HSBC is now but try to get someone to refer to you, it might work.
