Iphone6 Plus read mykad using kad reader

Today I saw 1 of my friend's show me a "IN" thing, he is using his brand new iphone6 Plus (first time ever also i saw the real iphone 6 plus after it launch in Malaysia, i am a cheap android guy:P ) to read the Malaysia IC - mykad , the screen is good and clear ( of course la iphone ma) ,the iphone itself don't have reader, so my friend plug in an additional reader to his iphone, and read use the app, well, good to know this :), it is so convenient nowsaday ; we tested can read new and old mykad.

Window 10 is a must for the future read mykad smart card reader to support

Recently read an article of Microsoft said that is hit to 1 million registrant for window insider program to test and feedback for beta window10 before it is official launch in the 2015, this is amazing and so excited news, by looking on the numbers, you will know window 10 will be the future, all hardware device have to updated the driver to compatible to it (hopefully it is not much change on the hardware support), if not then our wallet have to spend again to run this upgrade, that's why i hate update the OS(operating system).

renew or apply for International Passport Malaysia in Puchong Selangor branch

I decide to have this short note record for whoever try to search this relevant info on internet, i found it is no able to found the updated info of this for year 2014, luckily i had successfully done it on the date i went there, however i wish to share this info may helpful for you. 

kindly please be inform the passport Malaysia is issue by Immigration department(IMI) not the Jabatan pendaftaran Negara(JPN). 

For the puchong case sometime is confusing, why confusing?

ok, peoples was telling me that i can do the Passport Malaysia in Puchong , the place that we apply for the ID card mykad. Ok, i know where it is but can JPN do the passport for me? if not wrong last time the JPN Maluri Cheras branch can't. This is the first question come into my mind, but my friend told me that he read from the web some people said they do it at there, so i decide to believe what my friend read then.. in the 7am+ i arrive there, already 16 people queue there, so i follow the queue, but the queue is toward to JPN office, at first i don't realise the immigration office is on the 2nd floor, so i start doubt to myself whether i am in the correct queue and correct place, i asked then confirmed, it is correct place and queue. I have to queue and go in the JPN puchong to get the number, then whatever passport transaction have to go immigration office in 2nd floor. then i know that is 2 department in same shop lot different floor. 

i try to searching on the internet, that is no 2014 latest update what i had to bring and fill up in order to renew/apply the new Passport Malaysia. 

Tips for applying or renew International Passport Malaysia (red cover)

The address of the puchong branch is: 

67-69(2nd floor) , Jalan PU 7/4, 
Taman Puchong Utama, 
47100 Puchong, Selangor 

It's near Carrefour Puchong Utama (you can't see this Immigration Dept/JPN puchong branch from the main road, so it will be good u try googling the google map for find the way to go there before you go.

*There are few documents that you require to bring along while going to the Immigration office:

1) old passport. if you are renew your passport

2) Malaysian ID card (mykad) - make sure it is workable, as the officer will require to verify it. 

i) for children without mykad should be the birth certificate 
ii) Also kad Tentera ..-  

this 2-i and 2.ii,  i am not 100% sure, you can check this at  http://www.imi.gov.my/index.php/ms/perkhidmatan-utama/pasport/pasport-malaysia-antarabangsa
 
However, i found the info not really updated to latest by July2014 , please double check ya

3) passport photo. no need anymore,as they have a camera there for direct shooting without addtional charge. At least for puchong branch no need. 

4) Cash (Ringgit malaysia MYR)  The immigration dept don't accept credit card ya

Passport Fees

1. RM100.00/RM150 for 2 years( from imi.gov.my is RM100, but some forumer is saying RM150, so it is good you call to check or bring RM150.00 for back up)

2. RM300.00 for 5 years (i am getting this 5 years package)

Go there earlier if you don't want to wait too long. it will wait long did i mean process is slow? no, may be due to the volumne/demand is not big the demand is not keen, so in puchong only 1 counter for process to apply and renew the passport malaysia, another counter is payment (pembayaran) and another is passport collection. So that is 3 counter and each counter had it own function, so this will make you feel it is slow. Anyway, it is moving actually, be patient. 

How long you can collect the passport? 
after the payment, you can collect it for 1 hour, the process is quite in satisfactory speed.

you can also come to collect more than 1 hours, this i confirm as i check with the officer there. based on the receipt it this passport had to collected within 3 months, so i guess you can collect within 3 months, however, please check with the office there, and unless you have some urgent matter, else please collect in the same day, since you pay for it already.

More and more Cash register in the market come with mykad reader

Nowsaday when i go to buy stuff in the retail store, those cash register with cashier operating will have the mykad reader, to enter the member data, then issue us an member card or gift card for reward. This is good for encourage buyer come back again to buy again. This mykad reader i found it is good to make the efficiency, can prevent long queue in front of the counter. opps am i wrong for the cash register is different with the Point of sale system(POS)? sorry, i am not the technical guy, i check on the internet for the Point of sale system is like PC but the cash register with small LCD and the keyboard only. Correction add on: Mykad reader is the device with cable link to PC or machine, it can collect the data from mykad then pass to the PC, laptop or any machine(i assuming).
