Posted in: Japanese banks block withdrawals from expired foreign resident accounts See in context
What a panic from people.
Bank will first notify the owner of the account several times. When still no reaction the account will be blocked. If after several years there is no contact with the account owner the money will be government money.
So it is up to the account owner to handle and communicate.

@wallace
And so, your information is correct.
The cost of only cremation vary by locations.
A simple calculation has no meaning.
And you don't have to react with what is your problem. Your problem is that you cannot handle comments.

High school boys are just boys. Regarding the time I don't care who knows what they did.

I understand your point but a leader has responsibilities and if he or she cannot do the task than this person is not suitable for that function. PM Ishiba has a function and needs to represent his function.
Even PM is. Ishiba is often seen sleeping during work. Is he suitable I don't believe he his with the same behavior as your students.
