G'day all - dear Stitch, yikes, hope things turn out ok. Freezing accounts really is a really bad thing all around. Mahathir Mohammad & his fumbling crew are pouring salt to the open wound by causing mass panic. Don't those nitwits know this is the equivalence of inciting people to run the banks?! Take care & hope you make out alright. Certainly, time to come HOME. best, Bosco
