Leaving Malaysia... unchopped!!

Have you ever tried leaving a country without the "Departed" chopped on your passport?

Happened to me... first time...

All happened only because my brother forgot to bring along the key for his car pedal lock. So I had to drive into JB just to pass him the key so that he can carry on his journey to his Kelong Fishing...

On the way out, I was just following the cars infront. Because I seldom drive into Malaysia, I didn't see where the custom is... And I simply drive through it without getting my passport chopped...

All the way home... I was still thinking something is wrong.... but what can I do now that I'm already back in Singapore...

Made a few calls... and the same reactions I get is... "You are in for it..."

That got me frightened... so called another friend to check if he is free to accompany back to Malaysia. Picked him up and headed back for the woodlands checkpoint.

At the immigration... told the officer what had happened. He checked with his supervisor.

And then told us to just go ahead into the country and to get the passport chopped on the way out...

Phew.... it was pure luck that they were in a good mood. Because I did check online and it seems that some people were detained...

That was it. Always remember to get your passport chopped...

Hehe...
