GERAM! GERAM! GERAM!! IMMIGRESEN

I am so geram and panas hati of my own "Stupidity", "ignorance" of the whole process renewing one's passport... Passport Malaysia Antarabangsa (PMA) of mine gonna expired in March 22nd. And heck you will not be able to travel if your passport has less than six months to expired. So clever of me .. now that I am a bit free.. why don't I renew it ... Bad mistake..... I renew on the 4th of August, and didn't noticed until today.. That they treat my renewal as new application..i.e. starting date of 5 years is from the date i apply.. I want clarification.. but as Saturday the lazy bums are on holidays... (come on u have to agree with me on this.... imagine banks or companies having the systems of issuing numbers become u can be served.. and they attitudes sucks man!! I can go on and on due to this panas hati!!) i cannot call them to ask ..

One.. panas hati, I thought they will not replaced the old PMA, just renew it just like before.. they required photo, being on impulse, i took the instant photo, sumpah! it look like a mugshot of a gila woman ... I thought, lantakla, they are not going to use that picture.. HOW WRONG I AM..... new PMA, and new mugshot... SAKIT SAKIT HATI KU>......

Two .. money wasted on the passport renewal.. the portion lapsed without being used.. How come? Ok the story ..I noticed that my new PMA expiry date is on 4th August 2011... heck.. shouldn't they renew it the way we renew licence when they should take into account the unexpired portion of my passport... Asked my colleague and they said, this has always been the way.. BODOH OR NOT . they are cheating on us..

If this mathematic is correct..

First passport nearly five yeara ago.. cost us $300 - this exclude the copy writer fees $5 ke or more (Amit insist on having the old chap completed the form for us then when we perfectly able to write ourself.. of course he is short sighted laaa!!), divide that by 5 years, so about $60 per year... hmm half year cannot use.. so that is $30 wasted... (a full tank of gas my my kancil - kalau ikut harga tahun 2000 la hahaha)

SEcond time - 2 days ago - cost $300 - includes the first passport six months of uselessness so that is $30 wasted again kan . ok double counting not count.., still wasted la.. what about the last six months of the second PMA life waster another $30. And me stupidly renew it when my PMA still has 8 months life.. rugila dua bulan lagi ten ringgit...

So if this is correct I lost from $600 paid, $60 from the less than six months cannot use.. plus $10 because I renew it earlier.. total $70 .. heck it is a lot more than 10% rugi...... who untung.. the government laaaaaaaaa .. sapa rugi? aku laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SAKIT SAKIT.....

HMM has people ever complaint about this unfair practice ?.. where are all the lawyers?? fight for we the humble and helpless citizens .... BENCI BENCI....
