Long Bank Queues for New Notes ahead of Chinese New Year

Many SME Towkays like my boss and @JohnTan got to LL join the local bank queues to get CNY new notes because only private banking clients got their full allocations. SME Towkays with Malaysian banks got partial allocations.

On brighter note, this year Towkay @JohnTan is also increasing his lowest angpao denomination from $8 to $10 for his slaves as even good-as-new $2 notes (brand new) will not be available for reservation.

Every year, I'll just ask my banker friend from OCBC to change $700 for me. No hassle at all.

No problem. My banker friend has his ways. The RMs who have to join queues are the junior small flies in the banks.

SINGAPORE: Long queues have formed at local banks across the island, as people start to withdraw fresh dollar bills for red packets ahead of Chinese New Year. Banks are expecting more customers in the coming days and they are stepping up measures to manage the crowds.

I've gotten my full allocations for new bank notes. As an important towkay, there's no need for me to join the queue. It's meant for losers and serfs.
