We bought the Genting Theme Park ticket for both indoor and outdoor theme park after check in to hotel. The weather was nice and cooling there.

Application of Malaysia Passport in Singapore
5I just renew my Malaysia Passport in August in Malaysia High Commission of Singapore. This 2nd times I renew my Malaysian passport in Singapore. This time is easier compare to 5 years ago where I had to queue up to submit form and payment in the temporary high commission at Hill Street.
Before I proceed to renewal, I downloaded the Malaysia Passport Application Form IM42 from
www.imi.gov.my or http://www.malaysia.org.au/downloads.html
I planned my trip after I signed my appointment letter and reached there around 10am. And complete the submission around 10:45am. Collection was in afternoon 2:30pm onwards.

Forms and Documents required for Malaysia Passport Application
Before you get in the premise you need to change pass at the Guard House, please don’t use Malaysia IC or Singapore IC as the ICs are required to apply Malaysia Passport. The queue number 1067 was issued after the officer review your documents and forms at Counter 11. After the number called, the officer at the counter will counter check the documents scan your finger print couple of time. Then proceed to payment counter to pay the fees. That time was S$126.
For driver, you can park your car along roadside of the landed property near by eg. Jervois Garden.
At collection, same thing you need to do to change pass at Guard House, but the number issue is the same as queue number, the guard in the waiting area will call the number to form the queue for collection.
After collection I noticed the expired date is extended 5 years from your old Malaysia Passport’s expired date. This was a bit surprise to me as my ex-colleague mentioned to me the expired date was 5 years from the application date. eg. old passport expired in 28 Dec 2009, new expired date is 28 Dec 2014. In the sense you don’t lose single day even if you renew it 3 months earlier.
After obtain the new passport the next logical thing to do is transfer the Singapore Re-Entry Permit for PR to new passport. 5 years ago I need to make a trip to ICA office in Lavendar to pay $50 to add new stamp to new Malaysia Passport. Now I can do this by E-services in ICA Website (more…)
