*Tip: Look for their White Card (Disembarkation/Embarkation Card) at the Immigration Office or ask one to your bus conductor and fill it out before going straight to an IO.
If they started asking questions...Just be confident answering, have an eye contact and be firm with your answers IO: STAMPED!
No need to worry the Bus will wait for everybody to finish Immigration before departing. I’m not sure what will happened if  one of the passengers being held  at the Immigration.

-Bus Travel to Kuala Lumpur (almost 5 Hours from the Border). I forgot if there’s a CR inside the bus. Semi Lazy Boy/Recline Seats.
