OCBC won't let 92-year-old teacher close $8.8-m a/c

seyKai SG

wah lau, this is a joke.

You want to take out money form your own account, still need the bank manager to approve it?
This is not a CPF or what, this is ordinary saving account.
Since when our society become so unreasonable?

not unreasonable but extremely very ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ unreasonable

scare to lose the business of 1 fat account, OCBC should sack that manager

It is precisely tat there is a fuzzy line on the limit of duty of care of the bank exists and tat is why there were court cases fought between banks and customers. U can see in the court case shown by maruzio tat customers can sue the bank for nt exercising tis right and tat is why OCBC decides to intervene in tis case. If u look at maruzio website, u can find many many suit case between man and bank such as Griffin v. Centreville Savings Bank etc. I am not sure all cases ended up with the bank having no responsibility at all

Note tat there r many differences between the 2 cases. First, the junkie is no matter wat his real son and guardian while in tis case the adopted girl can be a virtual stranger. Second, it can easily be shown tat there is foreseeability tat the money can be cheated by tis adopted daughter of hers if she is mentally incapacited. Third she refused to let a psychatrist see her condition or let the bank inteview her. Fourth she claims she wanna take care of tis old lady then she can instead just draw 2000 every day till she die to take care of her. Why draw all the money at the same time ? Fifth maruzio case has the old lady took out he money at small amount over a long interval which is less suspicious. Since no one knows the details, the best thing is to let the court decides. DO u want the old lady to be cheated ? Tis is not a small matter

Lastly I think it is silly to say tat the gov is trying to steal all the money. First, she can enact a will and can give the money to anything or anyone such as her dog or a complete stranger or to tis daughter and the gov cannot take the money. In fact she can very well already have a will enacted when she is 60 or something when she is more sane. And if the gov really desperately wanna take the money, tis matter will be very low key and will not be published in the newspaper

What is your motive for bringing this up a second time when no one else is questioning the gov, but instead questioning OCBC?

Are you trying to lead everyone to think so?

8.8 million is chicken feed to OCBC & this is not the main issue.

The key issue is the question of how to come up with a proper, fair & equitable management of the large amount of money of this a/c holder.

One must bear in mind that there is some doubt in respect of the lady's mental falcuties particularly in areas of the ability to carry out her activities of daily living which include the managing of her fortune.

I thought it will be pretty easy to simply check with our local banking law that whether is there a requirement to do such psychiatric test;

or that when the old lady open an account with OCBC, was it written anywhere that she would be made to do such a test.

Apparently, the matter blew up!

Sorry man I see the reply

does OCBC any key personel got link with the ghamen?

It just make me wonder why someone wanna link it to gov again. If u look at the previous replies there r strange remarks on NTUC and gov sucking money from the person as well as PAP denying CPF to people etC. Now even OTC is related to OCBC case

Pin Head SG

Sigh, either you are just stupid, or you cannot read properly.

1) Your quote on OCBC isn't anything on saying the gov is stealing money, nor is it saying it is sucking money

2) NTUC is not the government.

3) The OTC post is after you have posted, and misleaded forumers to a different path not once, but twice.

4) "Strange remarks" is not a question on the government.

Well I think u really read with one eye shut. Throughout the replies, there r many hints and suggestions or sarcasm on the gov.The NTUC is gov controlled. CPF (which u r quiet on) is gov controlled. Even a few forumers such as shotgun and skythewood can see there r sarcasms on the gov when it has nothing to do with it. Now another guy mention if there r any key personnel with the gov. Again it serves nothing on the purpose of the thread and judging from the replies he made throughout, it is against the gov.

So I just talk about the point I mentioned before tat is has nothing to do with the gov but rather, the protecting of the poor lady and people shouldn't push and make decisions beause they hate the gov. Some people believed the gov want to suck money and tat is THE ONLY REASON why they r constantly brought into the picture. Why can't i say against such an act ? If I managed to convinced people tat the gov is not gonna get tis money, then the gov will not be involved isn't it ? Then the focus is on whether should we prevent cheat or prevent abuse of bank's power (which is relevant). Should we politicise the matter and force it to be linked with the gov and let the adopted girl girl the money who can very well be a sham ?

And wat is your point in preventing people from asking the thread to delinear from the gov ? Aren't u directly supporting people to politicise the matter and link it to gov ? Wat is your intention ?

Lastly, if u had read properly, I had mentioned "now even" OTC is involved in tis case when it clearly has nothing to do with it. Did I say tat reply is after my previous reply ?

Pin Head SG

what a strong reaction ; what's up with the wall of text?

1) If you said it is a hint, suggestion or sarcasm, then it is not a question on the gov. It is also not saying that the gov is stealing money. Make yourself clear.

2) skythewood tells us about the proper protocol, and that it is not a conspiracy by OCBC because it is not a state bank.

3) Shotgun and OTC replies are after your post; which means they have most likely been influenced by your diversion and misleading posts. That was what I meant. Somehow you shut one eye again.

It's mentally degrading to be talking to an immature being of lower intelligence, who cannot understand properly yet wanting to use a wall of text to prove its delusion, and only interested in petty quabbles.

Feel free to reply if you want to tell us you are even more immature than originally thought. I'm out; won't want to be drawn into petty quabbles with lower beings.

stupidissmart SG

Ahhh I see. So in short u really have nothing better to contribute to this thread except just personal insults. I don't really feel there is really any meaning for any discussion with u now. If u feel I have misled the readers, while u did not, then wat r u gonna do about it ?
