JIM has capped all new passports at exactly 10 years and is offering free replacements for affected holders, plus priority service at immigration offices. Why: If you hold a Malaysian passport with validity exceeding 10 years, you should apply for a free replacement before your next international trip to avoid being denied boarding.
