Re: POSB ATM MACHINEIS LANGGAR TIANG DAH!

Anyway, he can drive all the way to Funan with cash card! and pay parking
fee.
I am sure he can try to make use of the cash card to get some food, loan
some money or use a credit card (believe he has one).

Most important, get a spare account from another bank! 2 is better than one.
