A TikTok user from Malaysia expressed her deep disappointment and sorrow after facing rejection at a bank. The woman, who visited the bank with her children, had intended to open a bank account but was denied solely because she is a housewife.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that the bank staff had previously assured her that she could open an account.
In a three-minute video posted on Tuesday (4 July), the woman sits in her car, visibly distraught, as she begins to share her experience.
Through sniffles and holding back tears, she expresses her heartbreak over the incident. Recounting her visit to the bank, she reveals that it was not her first time seeking clarification.
She had approached the bank previously to confirm if she could open an account as a housewife. At that time, the staff assured her that her status would not be a barrier and provided a list of required documents, including her husband’s payslip and a telephone bill to verify her phone number.
Feeling satisfied with the information, the woman returned to the bank on another day, carrying all the necessary documents.
However, her hopes were shattered when she was denied the opportunity to open an account after waiting for two hours.
Overwhelmed with emotions, she questions why the bank didn’t inform her from the beginning that her status as a housewife would be an obstacle.
The woman emphasizes her frustration, highlighting the importance of treating housewives with dignity and respect. She wonders why the bank staff didn’t provide clear information upfront, sparing her from the disappointment she experienced.
She also mentions that she had brought her children along during the visit, adding to her distress.
The video serves as an outlet for the woman to express her heartbreak and disappointment with the bank’s treatment of housewives.
She believes that they deserve equal rights and recognition. The emotional plea resonates with viewers who empathize with her situation.
