Philipkee Twincharged May 24, 2011 Share May 24, 2011 I have been using MACS for the past few months, thinking it will be more convenient since I do not need to write the white card anymore when going JB. What i realise is that the malaysian customs officer will just take a look at the MACS and then I am on my way. Dun they need to scan it or something? Just look at it? Or are they doing something I dun know? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boboshooter123 Neutral Newbie May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 They are using something more advanced than we can ever think of............... ...............its called eye power! Below are the steps used in MACS process 1. Hold passport up to eye level 2. The human iris receives passport image and channels to the retina 3. Retina passes on image to the brain, simultaneously it processing our information 4. The brain will update your exit/entry via telekinetic waves to the massive immigrations Server located the Cyberjaya KL 5. For the advanced grade of immigration processors, above steps do not apply as they use bluetooth technology to communicate with the passport, bypassing the need to even handle the passport Hope the above helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianmo Hypersonic May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 I think the MACS is actually a smart chip ..................the counter took just to cfm no need to chop only......................they would most likely have recorded once we pass their custom...........just like our ERP reading our IU ...........................

Berncsp76 6th Gear May 25, 2011 Share May 25, 2011 ya applies to both in bound and outbound. But depending on the officer's mood I guess. Sometimes I show them liao then just too a cursory glance and return back, some will take and key in some info etc etc...but all in all still faster than having to chop passport and the white card. Peace of mind too that I do not have to worry if my white card will fall out ( happened once dropped in my car) anytime. Last visit shown to a minah officer, after she return the passport in <3 seconds her smile was so big and still say Thank You to me...my OC and me think she was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
