Renewing a Malaysian Passport

Just before i come back Malacca,a friend called to ask for my passport

number for booking air ticket purpose,i told her

i haven't renew my passport and was going back to Malacca.

she asked me to renew it at Malacca,

was easy and fast.

I was thinking,well doing passport should be

fast now as there is the machine

renewal,that i heard will be done in 2 hour.

I went to to Immigration Department’s website

to look for a guide in renewing my passport, but I couldn’t find any.So,i decided to go the Malacca Immigration Department with my brother at around 10am.

Was surprise to find out,there was no machine renewal there

and they were still putting Pak Lah

picture in their office..

Hahaha..

Hope they know their boss now was

Hishammuddin Hussein and not Syed Hamid.

Anyway......As usual,line up to buy forms(why we need to by form??Not FOC),fill in the forms,go and take passport size pic,ya...you don't waste money and time go to some photo shop and take

your passport size pic as they will reject..hehehhe...

then line up again to get number for application,

then wait to pay..

After paid,the friendly officer told me will be

ready at 1240pm,means gonna wait 2 hours.

Ok lor....Go yam cha with my brother...Play psp....

Then suddenly someone called me

'Cik,nak angkat passport ker??Dah siap,

gi angkat nombor'

I reply 'nak angkat nombor lagi??'

I go get a number,pass it to her and she give my new passport...which i just

know the passport number is not same with the old one.

Point is...Is only 1215pm.

Well,guess without machine renewal...

They can do thing fast as well...
