Exceptions are given only to Malaysia’s permanent residents, Malaysia Automated Clearance System pass holders and those transiting or transferring through Singapore without seeking immigration clearance, the Immigration Department’s MDAC website said.

[josephm]

These few weeks lotsa foreigners visiting MY will have headache filling in MDAC...no WiFi, no link, no app, children, grand parents... Immigration gonna have a havoc time.

This new regulation wasn't decided weeks ago when then all can get prepared but it was cut in yesterday without any grace period.

Looks like nothing much has changed in MY. If can't manage such a simple thing how then to manage Digital IC?

Some blamed the chaos on the sudden introduction of the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card on Dec 1, which applies to most foreign travellers, said Malaysia’s Immigration Department....many incoming travellers were caught off guard by the announcement of the new regulation.

Yes, coz that's an arrival card. You'll be arriving 5 Dec then, so go do a fresh submission.

Need. Just do it.

If forgot or really can't, you've until Dec 7.

But I'd just do it, to save the officer having to ask/remind you.
