Due to an oversight, I did not bank in a cheque within six months. It has expired.
I requested the payer to send me a replacement cheque. They wanted me to mail back the original cheque to them.
What for? The mail will take a few days to reach them. In some cases, it got lost.
This is an example of the wastefulness and inefficiency that is quite common in Singapore. In other countries, it is common for payment to be made by internet transfer to the payee account, instead of writing cheques.
I know of an insurance company in Indonesia that make claim payments directly into the bank account of the claimant.
