M’sian Woman Forced To Take Bedridden Mother To Bank With Ambulance After Staff Refuse To Come Over

The bank had insisted that it was the only way.

If you’re currently living with a family member who’s bedridden, you’d probably know how hard it is to get him/her to places due to their physical condition.

Bank card close to expiring

She then made a call to the bank and asked what was the card renewal procedure for bedridden people.

To her dismay, a staff member told her that her mother had to come to the bank physically to get it done.

Sent bedridden mother to bank with ambulance

Despite Nur Hartini’s efforts to not make her mother go to the bank physically, the staff member refused to budge and insisted that it was the only way.

Left with no choice, she was forced to call an ambulance from St. John and transport her mother to the bank.

All the costs were out from my own pocket and it wasn’t free. There are banks who don’t take the feelings of unwell people into consideration,” she wrote.

Nur Hartini also claimed in the comment section that the bank blocked her mother’s account even after she got herself a new bank card.

She added that the bank card was necessary for her mother to receive her pension, which is then used to buy her daily items such as adult pampers.
