Mykad
|
Today I went to JPJ Shah Alam to change my IC into Mykad. I went there expecting the place to be less crowded. The counter lady gave my que number 714! The current number was 614. Not to bad I said to myself. 614 didn’t move to 615 for 15 min. Horror.
Determined not to let the Malaysian civil service beat me I decided to stay instead of coming another day. While I was sitting there listening to other people’s complaints about the slow que, a mother and her child came and sat beside me. The child was running around normally. Then the mother started to feed him and he almost finish the whole bottle when he started to puke!. The whole row was vacated.
I went outside trying to escape the smell. Outside I meet a chap who works in the same floor as I am. We asked each other’s que number, and he handed me a ticket numbered 707. He took 2 tickets so he can offered it to a beautiful chick. Super. I made a mental note to follow this technique.
My number came, I went to the counter, everything went fine until the clerk in charge ask me to pay a compound of $30. This according to her was because I didn’t change my IC on my 18th birthday. WTF, I thought the compound was waived. No according to her. After paying I asked my friend about this and he said he didn’t have to pay. Something fishy going on here. The 3 hour + wait had left me in no fighting mood. I got the receipt so I decided to challenge this when I collect the stupid Mykad.
