Fingers crossed while waiting in line at counters

KUALA LUMPUR: They arrived as early as 6am just to be among the first in line to check if they had unclaimed money at the Accountant-General’s Department office in Menara Maybank here.

Hundreds of hopefuls would assemble at the foyer on the first floor of the building every morning. They would then be given numbers to the Registrar of Unclaimed Money counter by department personnel at 8am.
