        yaya, i find it so funny why is it the index finger print not the thumb :scratchhead:
        Cos' our passports already have thumbprints?
        Index fingerprints (both hands right?) is more for being KIASU?

        Saw the news on our customs exploring this retina scan thingy... more powerful! 🙂

              I also got dusted last weekend. I’m not so happy about it, because I feel it’s a violation of my personal being, but I have to go along because I like visiting Malaysia, might one day even settle in Malaysia.


              It’s a necessary evil I suppose. However, best would be if we could do away with the passport chopping altogether, since we’re already surrendering our built-in passport, our fingerprint. After all, it shouldn’t be hard to set up a database of all fingerprinted visitors and monitor the days left on their visa.

              If and when there’s an overstayer, the system will flag him/her and that person will be dealt with accordingly the day he/she passes through customs.

              At the same time, any evil-doers that try to cross into Malaysia will also be caught instantly. Of course, the system will take some time to accrue all fingerprints. Perhaps this is the reason we’re still doing the passport chopping too.

              Maybe one day…

                umm, regarding overstayer, I thought they are very zealous when it come to checking for that entry chop in the passport?


                Anyone reckons if they will jail pp next time for not leaving behind a pair of fingerprints upon entry?
