Phew! Made it to Changi Airport and using their FREE Internet Access (KLIA - Are U Listening??) to post this before my Tiger Airways Flight to Chiangmai.
Trip was nearly over before I even got started as I neglected to check my passport which has Expired on the 2nd October05. Stupid. I Know!
Anyway a mad rush to the passport office early morning and luckily everything was sorted out. Thank you En Ibrahim and staff!!! U guys are great! Was issued an Emergency Certificate of sort 2 allow me to travel. Then it was a mad motorcyle dash to the airport. Motorcycle? Thats another story which I’ll give the details when I am back!
So it was a happy but nerve-racking day! Now I have checked in and are waiting for Huey and JunPing!
Phew! And I am so grateful to all the people in the government service who helped me. Sorry for ladies for making you nervous when you were busy rushing/preparing the travel documents for me. I have a healthy respect for you folks now I must admit! Terimah Kasih! Gotta run now!

Lucky you. We had a similiar problem before and the Malaysian passport was 5 months and 26 days BEFORE expiry, and we were not allowed to board the plane.
Somehow, somewhere, it is written that you must have 6 month passport validity before you can travel, even when you have a confirmed ticket stating that your trip is only 3 days!!!!
I am glad you made it and when you called that Friday afternoon, I was in a board meeting. Thus, conversation cut short (”,)
Miracles do happen - read the book “A Course In Miracles”.
I have no other explanation for it. I was resigned to the fact that I was not going to travel that morning - but I did! Miriam was dumbfounded when she saw me boarding the plan as the last passenger. I was also not taxed at all for my overweight checked-in luggage!
How do you explain that?
Good luck?
Anyway I am glad and very grateful. Thanks.
finally got it
admire your writing skills
i know you have many other skills and talents, which we do have to elaborate and as i said you might brag
once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY
