Dear All,
I have a very unpleasant experience yesterday, After receiving an invitation from HSBC HR team, i called them to confirm my appointment, I spoke to Miss Alicia who requested me to call back the next day and look for Miss Linda. The next day I inform Miss Linda about the appointment and i also requested to reschedule it around 2, though she told me that she doesn't have any idea who send the invitation but i could come in anyway!
So July 8th 1:45 i arrive at the guardhouse of the HSBC building , as a procedure, their security team ask me to register, i handed my passport to their surprise... which also surprises me! They asked "You're a --------{my race}"? as i about to say yes my passport was already on the guards face so i just nod, And whats creepy about it, is that they start making calls to i dont know who and which department and told me that i am not in their list so they cant let me in! I demanded to speak to the people i spoke with earlier and whats even more creepier? those people... refuse to speak to me (after knowing that i am a ------?) and denied my entrance! As one of the security team handed me back my passport, I look him in the eye and said "Yes I am a ------", is that the problem? and before he can even utter some words back i already left in DISGUST!
Definitely not a a good place to spend my 9hrs/day with!
Some people just left me wonder.....Hypocrisy just left me wonder!
So much for the Worlds Local Bank!
Huh, HSBC tends to a VERY multi-cultural employer.... I don't know the whole picture, but the only reason they might react that way (& considering that you mentioned bringing your passport, not your IC) is that you're not a Malysian citizen &/or you don't have a working permit in Malaysia.

Even if HSBC has no issues, they must still comply with Malaysia's employment laws.
