Comment: Hooray!   Maybank is the latest big boys in Malaysia who join the SMS spammer list - the leading bank in Malaysia, is also listed on the Malaysia stock exchange, is in!  I guess SMS spamming in Malaysia is pervasive indeed, what you think? 

Should you and me also join them as sms spammer,  my guess is Maybank wouldn't do any illegal activities in Malaysia,  if they do it,  it must be legal.  Yeah!...  new business opportunity.
