Discarded Cimb Atm Slip Displaying 6 Figure Balance Elicits Envious Hilarious Responses Online

---

 
FINANCIALLY straitened times lead to envious eyes.
So it would seem when a discarded bank slip from an ATM (automated teller machine) bearing a six-figure balance led to all manner of remarks when shared on social media.
As shared on Malaysia Viral Story Facebook page, the person in front of the poster’s grandad had forgotten to collect the bank slip which bore a whopping balance of RM191,127!

The post has already generated 5.7K likes, 1.7K comments and 429 shares at time of publication.
With the cost-of-living crisis biting hard, this sum would come in quite handy for many, judging from the many comments posted.
Apparently, this busy-body behaviour is quite common with one commenter admitting his eyes go through the slips in the waste paper basket just to see what the balance were in total strangers’ bank accounts.

One commenter second-guessed that it could be a “personal loan cash, hence it was plentiful” while admitting that this was very much a sour grapes observation.

Keep big sum of money in separate accounts to avoid getting scammed! That was a pertinent advice proffered by one commenter specifically aimed at senior citizens.

It was also sarcastically remarked that the slip was left behind on purpose to teach the younger generation the value in saving cash.

Enjoy it while you can seem to be the advice offered by one observer. If you don’t, you may regret it he pointed out.

Hilarity aside, one commenter did ask a very pertinent question. Why was it anybody’s business?

One thing to note about this story. Be very careful with your ATM slips. Prying eyes and busy bodies are everywhere.
Next thing you know, your bank details (although redacted here) could very well go viral online, inviting much unwanted attention.
