On May 20, a Singaporean's trip to Malaysia was ruined by an unsavoury encounter with "impolite" Malaysian custom officers.
The disgruntled traveller, Abdul Qayyuum Rahim, took to Facebook to unleash his ire. VIDEO
Displeased with M'sia custom officer's passport chopping and attitude
After an hour's wait at Tuas Checkpoint, Qayyuum and his wife arrived at one of the two opened counters on the Malaysian side of the border, only to be ordered by a female officer "with an impolite tone" to remove their passport covers.
Upon receiving back their passports, the pair were dismayed to see that the officer had wasted their passport pages by chopping, voiding, and re-chopping on separate pages.
"The officer purposely left a blank page on my passport and for my wife's passport, she chopped on page 27 before scribbling it [out] and re-chopping on page 28 for no good reason."
