The long journey to renew my son’s passport.
Day 1
Reach the immigration office UTC at 10:30am
Officer: Number dah habis, esok datang awal la, pagi tadi orang pukul 6:30am dah datang.
Me: Datang pukul 6:30 dapat ambil number terus ka?
Officer: Tak, number buka pukul 8am, tapi diorang dah beratur di luar.
Me: ok.
Day 2
Reach UTC before 7am, at 7:40am..
Officer: Buku passport dah habis, di Simpang Tiga ada lebih 100 buku tinggal, di Miri ada xx, di KL ada xx.
Ehhhh
Ke Simpang Tiga lah kita.
Berjaya dapat number dalam pukul 10am.
Selepas pembayaran pukul 1:30pm
Pukul 2:30pm saya datang seorang konon nak collect passport yang dah siap.
Officer: Kena bawa anak sekali, dia kena sign.
Adoi, what was I thinking, lost betul.
Day 3
Pukul 7:10am dah sampai Simpang Tiga office, notice board cakap counter buka pukul 7:30am, tetap kena tunggu sampai pukul 8am juga.
Dah pukul 8am, terus ke kaunter penyerahan, Eugene signed, siap, boleh pergi Korea sudah.
Goodness. The problems were similar in various renewal offices around KL. It only happened just before the holidays.
