MALAYSIA PASSPORT RENEWAL in singapore

I hope my blog will help those who intend to renew their Malaysian Passports upon expiry. However, the information I provide here is what I observed and experienced today.

The High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore is located at 301 Jervois Road (off River Valley Road). There were no shopping centre around if you are thinking of shopping while waiting!!

Before you go for the passport renewals, make sure you have the following : -
1. At least one IM42 form. You can buy this at 50cents per copy on the morning, or you can download from the website http://www.imi.gov.my/. Make sure you print it double sided and on A4 paper. There were many people who printed on one sided and two pieces of paper, were rejected and ended up buying the form from Counter 10. If you print from home, you can fill up the form at your own pace. Some people where filling form this morning while queueing, and they were a bit panicky as the queue moved. Some people were confused which address to fill in, it shld be your Singapore address if you are reciding in Singapore (PR).

2. Two recent coloured passport size photo (3.5cmX5cm) with blue background. As mentioned above, the best is to take at the High Commission itself. It cost SGD6 for 4 copies.

3. Original & Photocopy of Malaysia Identity Card (IC). The IC must be new, 'My Kad'. And photocopy is best done on A4 paper. Don't cut. Also, copy both side on the same page.

4. Your passport & photocopy. Again , on A4 size paper. Also, copy both side on the same page

5. Original & photocopy of Singapore PR IC/Employment Pass/Dependent Pass/S Pass/Work permit/Student Pass/Long Term Pass as proof of status in Singapore. Again, copy on A4.

6. Yourself (Applicants need to submit the application and collect the passport personally).

7. SGD128 for 32 pages passport.

8. Birth cert and the photocopy (not compulsory but the person asked to see mine)

You can go to the website, the High commission guard house or Counter 11 to obtain form on what is needed.

As I learnt from the guard last week that some people turned up as early as 7.30am, I tried not to be too late. As the maximum passport issued a day is 200 copies and 100 copies on Friday, I worried if I went too late, the quota would exceed.

When I reached at 2minutes to 8am, there were already many people. The Consular Office opens at 8am but the guard house started issueing entry pass/badge from aboout 7.30am. Firstly, I went to the guard house to obtain a pass/badge. Many people just walked through the gate but then was asked to go to the guard house first. There was no one guarding right at the gate. The security guard was standing on top of the staircase inside the gate and after you climbed a flight of stairs and if you do not have the pass, you need to climb back down and proceed to the guard house outside. The guard house was on the left side of the High Commission if you are facing the High Commission, not exactly at the gate leading to the High Commission. So, look to the left and find the guard house. They will ask for a card to be exchanged for the pass/badge. Do not give them your Malaysia or Singapore IC as they would be used later. Give them your driving licence, student pass, NTUC link point card or library card instead. You will be given a pass/badge with a number. This number does not mean a queue number. Wear it so that it could be seen. Then walk to the entrance.

After you climbed the flight of stairs, a security guard will check your pass/badge and also your bag. Those who carry food/water was asked to either stuff them into the handbag or to leave them outside the High Commission office. There were some cement benches there. No one is allowed to eat or drink inside. All mobile phone should be put to silent mode. Someone was using the mobile phone and I heard the guard screaming away to stop her.

When you walked straight, you would come to a door that leads you into the Consular Office. It is not confusing. But as you enter, you will see a photo taking machine and a photocopier quite near to the entrance. If you have not got your photos and have not make your photocopies, do so now. There might be a queue for these to be done. Do not attempt to queue towards Counter 11 unless you have all that are needed. There were many people in front of me in the queue but many were turned away as they have insufficient documents. Most people did not have their new 'My Kad' IC.

After you got everything that is needed, queue towards Counter 11. 5-10minutes after I arrived, the queue wounded like a snake. At Counter 11, the person would verify that you have everything. She would make sure you have filled the form, photos pasted, ICs with the photocopies etc... The funny thing was, she even asked to see my birth cert eventhough it was not required. I had it with me, so I showed it to her. Then she wanted to have a copy. When I passed a copy to her, she commented that it was not in A4 size!!! Then she said " Never mind, no need" !!!! Was she just making my heart pounded harder??? I was worried that I was denied a chance to submit my application. Renewing passport somehow is a phobia and caused much agony to many!

After the person was satisfied that I had all that was needed, she issued me with a queue number. It read "031". I was amazed that eventhough there were so many more people in front of me, the queue was only 31. That means, a lot of people were turned away to go and get what they did not bring.

While queueing, people are generally very helpful. They help each other. Some even print extra IM.42 form and gave it to people who has printed wrongly on 2 pieces of paper. Some help another to inteprete the Bahasa Malaysia Form. One boy was stunned that he did not have any form, so he quickly asked the guy next to him. And he 'chopped' his queue position by telling the person behind him that he need to go and buy a form and come back to the same place. Generally, everyone was very nice and helpful. The guard that was doing photocopying was also helpful.... The place was nicer than before, air conditioned and quite orderly.

Just within 10minutes, 'ting' , my queue number appeared on a few digital board. I gave the documents to the person in charge. She checked, took my thumb prints electronically and also in black ink. When she was satisfied, she returned my IC and queue number and signalled me to go to another counter to pay. After paying, I was given the queue number paper indicating to come back to collect the passport at 2.30pm on the same day.

By the time I finished, it was only 5 minutes past 9am. It was amazing. But it was not so good for those who did not have sufficient documents.

The morning submission time was from 8am to 11.30am. However, they will only accept 200 copies of passport max. (And 100 copies on Fridays).

Collection is from 2.30pm-4.15pm.

Since it was so early, Iwent off instead of sitting there and wait for the 5.5hrs. Remember to return the pass at the guard house and get your card back.

At 2.30pm, go back to the guard house again. You can go earlier because the pass that the guard issue this time is the queue number. But no worries because collection is fast. They will call by the queue number in batches of 10. Many people were confused about the queue. Some thought it would appear on the digital boards, some thought it went by the morning queue number but no, it was by the queue that the guard gave out. They called it 'I' queue because there was a letter 'I' on the queue. The queue numbers were called out! I went at 2.30pm and my queue was 87!!! Seems like many 'kiasu' people were already waiting much much earlier before they re-opened. Today, they processed 147 copies of passport.

They did indicate that peak seasons are the March and September school holidays and also a couple of weeks before June and December. So, if you can, avoid this time!

When my queue number was called, I went to line up near the counters. Then when my turn came, I signed and got my new and old passports. Check that you have your names and particulars all correct. By the time I got mine, it was almost 3.30pm, about 1hour for Number 87.

I wanted to proceed to Singapore Immigration to transfer my Returning Permit but just this morning, I read from the website that I could do it online! Just need Singpass ( a password) that I have. So convenient......

I wish that some improvement be made to the process of renewing passports.

1. Since many people will tell/ask the guard about passport renewals, the guard could give the person "what is needed form" and also give them the IM.42 form. This way will avoid a lot of people having queue inside for an hour or so and realised they did bring all that is needed.

2. After submission, the passport should be processed instantly. It is easier to wait there for 1 hour than to have to come back again after 5.5hours.

3. Submission shld be opened from morning until evening. It is fine if office is opened not 8am but 9am, but the break time should be reduced. So, for those that could only come in the afternoon, can also submit and got their passports.

八月份的悠闲生活

上星期四无所事事，放工后到淡滨尼的Tampines One 闲逛，
羊先生下班后也到那以我会和，我们的晚餐也就在那解决了，


这是偶第二次到这全日式的食阁，
第一次去可能刚开幕的关系简直是人山人海，这次去就小猫两三只了，
入口处会有服务人员分发“食物信用卡”给每位顾客，
到你所选的食物摊位点餐后，只需给他你的食物信用卡刷一刷，就进帐了。
吃完要走时才到出口处还你所刷的钱。。。无谓的方式哈哈！

里面的室内装潢很日式，让没去过日本的偶仿佛置身于日本。
偶这次是敢敢不要脸的在里头拍照咯~
我还敢敢的拿起手机拍了以上几张真贵的照片，
出到门口打算拍张正门口的门面照，怎知服务生赶紧走来说不能拍照，
但偶已经在里头拍了哈哈！！不知者无罪呗~


我俩点的晚餐，两份大约三十六元，个人觉得贵了点。

当天晚餐后无聊的我们，竟然到 Changi Resort 附近的XXX地方去看
羊先生的同事Charles钓乌贼~
羊先生的这位同事最近失恋了，所以就寄情于钓鱼。。。
看照片里的假虾就是钓乌贼的诱饵，
他还从公司拿了Swarovski的水晶石粘在虾的身体，
虾的另一面就粘了荧光纸，Charles说是让乌贼在漆黑的海里
看见发亮的物体而游过来，就上钓了，

唉！羊先生的瘾就在那天被激发出来了，
第二天就去买鱼竿，诱饵等等的钓鱼道具，打算每晚去钓鱼，
哦我的天呀！我得独守空闺了~

星期六和日闲在家里发霉，羊先生又惹我生气，我罚他换洗床单他竟然拿枕头套，放在我头上做 A.Bu.Ne.Neh 的造型还很开心的大笑说帮我拍照，唉气炸！

偶可爱老妈的玉脚，一时想起该买双大街小巷很火红的Cross Shoe 给老妈，这牌子的鞋以舒服好穿而火红，就带老妈去选购一双啦，款式及少，除了大头的洞洞鞋就只有这款了。颜色也有天空蓝、粉红、银色、鲜红、深褐和黑，深褐和黑色穿了像要去割树胶似的，只有粉红穿在老妈脚上最可爱了哈哈！

妈妈说她看到很多人穿那头大大很多洞的鞋，她觉得很难看，还说老豆也有一双，想不到新加坡的这间鞋店有那么多人来买这种鞋，她说穿了很好笑~老妈看了这鞋一直笑，笑得多开心HOHHOHO，还问说可以穿去打兵乓吗？我说不可以啦，普通出门穿啦~

云顶@哎呀呀亲子游

上星期五和我的哎呀老妈和她那两个精灵宝贝一同前往云顶吃风，
很期待的一次简单的旅途，起个大早就有点小兴奋，赶着去载她们。。。

我一路上都没睡噢，我第一次见识到精灵宇杰的“吃功”哈哈！
那小子可不是盖的，一路上他真的是吃个不停，是不停的咯～
小小的个子，小小的胃竟能吃那么多，佩服佩服哈哈！
Jasmine 可要努力赚钱才能喂饱宇杰了哈哈！


这次最开心的就是能见到丽伊，怀孕的女人身上总散发出光辉，
好久没见，她还是没变（样子）有老公的陪伴我觉得她选择回到马来西亚是对的，
她陪我们到云顶therm park 玩，但可惜孕妇有很多的东西不能玩，
坐旋转木马...很漂亮的画面，但旁边的老兄有点碍眼咯！



可爱的Joelle，原本是要陪她玩的但自己还比小孩怕死哈哈～也太丢脸了
姐问：荦怡你怕吗？
荦怡：不怕
姐说：姐姐怕也
荦怡：i will take care of you.
so sweet neh.
但我踩得半死哈哈！





在半山蘑菇园外所摄


这次的行程后我发现羊先生比我厉害照顾小孩子，
以后照顾孩子这档事就他全权负责，我负责生就好了哈哈！

羊先生真的可说是上知天文下知地理，
哎呀老妈这次也见识到他的功力（服了他），
见到丽伊的老公聊钓鱼的东西头头是道，
见Jasmine的老爸聊某某国家上月球，也聊到头头是道，
见Jasmine的老妈聊菜的品种也聊到有龙有凤，他是行的咯～

黑锅！！

我。。。哎。。。心痛。。。

大家应该知道我算是比较“鸟"的那类人，
我很宝贝我的东西，我也是那种不喜欢分享东西一起用的人，
但出到外头和别人一起住我也多少得看开点，
但。。。这我不能忍啊！！气炸了！

前天凌晨睡的很甜时，嗅到一股很浓的焦味，
我还以为是羊先生在我睡了之后去烤鱿鱼来吃所以有这股味道，
早上醒来要准备煲汤，下到楼下厨房味道很浓，一看洗碗槽～！！！！晕！
我的， 我的WMF专门煮快熟面的小锅，竟然变成”黑锅“
我当场傻了！我都很”斯文“的使用它，但别人竟”粗暴“的对待它。
马上跑上房吵醒羊先生向他投诉，叫他下楼看！
羊先生也很气，说着就找纸笔，写字条给那凶手，
用英语写的大意如下:
这个锅是属私人用品，不是屋主留下的，
这锅的用法是用小火煮东西，
请买回一个一样的锅还给我们，
那个旧的你可以拿去自己用。
Frm Teoh & Sharon

看到吗都烧焦了，我真的心痛的啦！
替我打抱不平的羊先生又写了第二张字条粘在厨房，
［请大家保持厨房干净，别把没洗的碗碟置放在洗碗槽内］
那女凶手是在夜间场所上班的，她很喜欢煲汤喝，一星期都有三四天在煲汤，
她没次煲汤后厨房就变的很脏，地上有滴下来的汤汁，和一些食物屑，
煤气炉的边也会有汤滚出来的汤汁印。。。

她还每晚带男友会来过夜，是每晚噢！
我也跟羊先生说不然你就一个人租房间，
然后我每天来住，我还省下不必缴水电钱，更划算！
那女的真的是XXX 还是气她把我的锅搞成这样！！！！


之前那凶手使用我的锅，每次用了没马上洗干净，就放在洗碗槽里到隔夜，
就算洗了有时也没洗干净，我就不爽，就把锅隐秘的藏起来，不想让她使用，
怎知她也不笨咯！竟然也找出我的锅来用，她没有感觉到我是故意藏起来的嘛！！气！

Farewell Hi-Tea Buffet

动物园的成员－鸡鸡 Emily 即将会回到她的家乡澳洲的 Adelaide，
我们选定了到 ZHOU'S KITCHEN 去吃 High Tea Buffet (三人送一人噢！）
星期六一伙人浩浩荡荡的去饮茶吃点心，顺道和 Emily 建行。。。

希望日后我们一伙动物园的成员能有机会飞到 Adelaide 探望鸡鸡，
温顺的 Emily 在新加坡的际遇不是太好，希望她回去有个全新的开始，
也希望若干年后，大伙还能聚在一起，再拍张大合照，到时丽莹也得在里头噢～

看很温馨的画面呗！
哎呀老豆和哎呀儿子的亲子照，很温馨吧哈哈！看了都觉得好笑！
真是哎呀呀的［全家福］
