Renew Malaysia Passport_Status

After Immigration Department of Malaysia has changed into new specification on passport since April. Now the citizen will be taking a longer time to renew their passpport from less than 3 hours only to 3 days grace period!

You might not even get a chance to renew your passport even you go earlier or late as the system still break down. Tried to call them up to check on the status many times, no one answer.

I do not know what progressive by "stages" means when all the system breaks down for days. Oh please....test any new system next time "thoroughly" first and do a better planning before try to implement anything.

So, if you want to renew your passport....brace yourself and need a lot of patient. Like old times! From bad to better, and gone to worst service ever.
