My office is situated in an enclave of expensive properties (inevitably host to plenty of ministers too), which explains why there is every bank available in the vicinity, from DBS, UOB to MayBank, RHB, RBS, to the more exotic Bank of China & Bank of India.

We happen to be just beside RHB Bank & directly opposite UOB.

On a regular day, this might be what happens.

Auntie walks in, looks around, tries to look for the counter or the queue (actually no queue since you technically don’t have to queue at RHB), then asks whether this is RHB.

Couple of minutes later, the phone rings.

Lady on the phone: “Hi, is this UOB Katong?”

I think I should propose for us to be renamed TyreBank soon.

For a better illustration on how people can actually mistake us for RHB Bank.
