A 72-year-old man in Malaysia is seeking to recover a fixed deposit of RM1 million that he allegedly placed in a bank branch in Sibu, Sarawak, back in August 2006. The individual claims he and his wife opened two separate accounts with a two-year maturity period but neglected to withdraw the funds for two decades. The matter surfaced recently after the man discovered a photocopy of the original deposit slip while organizing his home. Upon visiting the bank to claim the money, he was informed that no such records existed. Subsequent inquiries made at the central bank and other financial offices also failed to verify the existence of the accounts. The man has since filed a police report and requested official assistance to resolve the dispute with the financial institution.
