registered for MDAC 1st time earlier this week and went in JB yesterday. Went to the counter beside e-gate and check with officer who asked me to go manual counter to check in as normal. Luckily Q was <5 pax around 10am+ so my turn was fast. when reached the counter, check with officer who said next time can check in using egates.

Went to ksl to do shopping and eat. Turns out they are giving rather good rates between 3.27-3.28.

will test egates during next visit. but is there an expiry or valid date after MDAC registration? like 6 months or 1 year or based on passport expiry date?

By right MDAC 30 days expiry, but best to apply for each visit.

Based on my experience, I didn't apply MDAC once I've verified that I can enter through e-gate. Till now I'm still able to use e-gate even without applying MDAC

Looks to me like one month into the launch:

Some still aren't sure of the difference between MDAC and MACS 2.0, and how they're related

Or what exactly is MDAC and its purpose

Or MACS 2.0, for that matter

Malaysia boleh....!!!

Malaysia boleh....!!!

they save identity according to non unique "name" rather than unique identifier like passport number?

that is called #MalaysiaBoleh

like this all the common names all cannot use sia.

all the wei long, wei kiat, wei ting, whole life know quite a few.
then with common sur name tan, lim, lee
gg to them

 

[Yiyong]

And if their system so rabak .... Cannot tell which is which who is who...

But so smart can detect ex-malaysian.... Dun let them use

 

[TapInTapOut]

Ya seems like what I suspected. Their system cannot detect names properly one.


First time I register MDAC with name as per passport eg "Tan Ah Kow", then egate failed, "Passport Verification Error".


Second time register again, same name format, also same error.


That time I realized the e-gate screen detected my passport and displayed my name as "Ah Kow Tan". Then I suspect MDAC registration must follow this same also.


So third time I register with "Ah Kow Tan". Then successful already...

Since there are others who don't submit MDAC, you can try...

Did you have to queue and do biometric verification with the customs officer 3 times?

There are times E-Gate will gives an error message & ask you to proceed to manual counter.

Try a few other E-Gate lanes, & go to manual counter if unsuccessful. Try too the ones on the extreme right of the hall.

Supposed to requeue if you want to try another egate, otherwise go to manual counter. Most won't like the idea of having someone cut queue.
