Mykad Application Woes
8 days ago, I made a trip to the PJ JPN office in order to change my Mykad - due to my new look and also because the smart chip was already rusting. On the whole I found the process to be rather efficient and within 30 minutes I was already done.
My only issue at that point was a confusion as to why it would up to 10 days before I could get my brand new Mykad! As far as I recollect, it supposed to be a 1-2 days thing - just like getting your passport. However apparently as our much vaulted government machinery moves at a shambles pace I look set to have to wait the whole 10 days!
Now to the next annoyance…
It seems there is a online e-service for applicant to check on their application status via the JPN website here. I was informed that on Day 5 onwards I could check online for the updated status of my application.
Guess what!
Come Day 6, then Day 7 and now freaking Day 8 and all I can get via the web-service is this (pic to the right):
That’s right! Our Malaysian government lives up to it much earn-status of having hardly anything much working as it should. That leaves the little man like me frustrated - a feeling I very much feel whenever dealing with any government machinery.
