    I was one of the passenger of this flight today.. Posting this right now from KLIA.. Heard from the MH staff at transfer counter telling us that there was technical fault with one engine on the equipment..

     

    May I ask anyone knows which exact plane that suffered this technical fault? Just curious..

     

    Anyways, many unhappy passengers because flight now becomes MH 721 at 1350 instead of MH 717 at 0955.. Meaning a 3 hr 55 min delay..

     

    Many passenger will miss their connecting flight at CGK.. and some are on business trip and hence will miss their meetings too.. The best MH could do was to get us on to MH 721 because other airlines flights are either full or no flight.. And as compensation they gave us meal voucher..

     

    For meal its stikk alright as I am not in rush or anything.. In fact. I can stay airside and explore satellite building and sort of plane spot all the heavies inclusing a380 lol.. Plus i get a free meal at delifrance.. Not exactly free, the voucher is worth RM13 according to delifrance staff.. I still gotta top up a little bit.. But not bad overall :)

    Guys.. according to Visit Japan Now's Facebook.. Visa exemption is only for new biometric passports.. Old passports will still need to apply for Visa..

    Here's
    additional news that you might want to take note with regards to the
    visa exemption on Malaysian passports. For more enquiries, kindly please
    contact the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia. Share this important news to
    your friends.
