MAY 25 ― Inspired by a friend's recent holiday overseas, my husband and I decided to renew our long expired passports. Having heard of the long lines and horror stories at the major immigration offices, we considered going to the smaller one at Port Klang because I figured that the lines would be shorter there.

They were all there ― almost every representative across the spectrum of our population ― the withered, the potbellied, the enthusiastic gym goer, the prim yuppy, the middle aged businessman and the flustered parent with children in tow.After so many reports of this overwhelming deluge of passport renewals all over the country, one would think that they would have had a better system by now of sorting out the different types of ‘cattle’ at the gate.

But once again, this was also probably outside their job description. Those not in these categories started to shout and misbehave. Quite understandable. The gate finally opened at ten past eight ― so much for the clockwork reliability of our government departments! The crowd outside the gate had morphed into some kind of madness!!! It was beginning to look like a scene from a horror movie.

Old people were looking for pens, some were looking for their spectacles and some were looking for other fingers to fill out this form. Once again, the younger ones were faster and got earlier numbers.! ― many of whom had queued early but failed the Form Filling Test!!! And so we get big numbers and walk slowly up the stairs.

I saw another senior Chinese man holding No. 25 in his hand. I asked him how he managed to get that low number. He told me that he had come the day before and picked up the form a day ahead.

In 2017 it was so damn good.. I was told to renew my ice . With a hour and a half both my ice and passport was done at Utc Pudu Sentral

Good , passports is Privileged. Need to have detail checks. Furthermore , that's Surge in Application. What do you expect. Talk critics easy. Execution is challenging. Look at PH last GE. Won but failed miserably to Fulfilled the LiesFake Manifesto. So Sukeshini, Keep quite.

Typical Malaysia

I changed it in January and had traveled in March , no problem then

A lesson never ever learned in this department at all after years of years in experience! Totally disaster! What is our brainless minister doing?We have many deadwood in the govt officers for not performing their duties diligently and smart way.

Don't renew la
