Has anyone from the ten countries that you are permitted to register for the immigration e-gates on arrival managed to register? If so, how did it go?

Edit October 2024

An update as most of this thread is redundant. 63 countries are now included in the program. See:

You need to complete a Malaysia Digital Arrival Card before arrival. Ignore all the stuff below about registering with an immigration agent on your first arrival - experience suggests that is ancient history, (but things can change so do check the end of the thread for latest experiences).

Also in the link above, it says you need to register for your Malaysia Digital Arrival Card at least three days before arrival. My experience is you can't register until there is three days or less to go, and I have on one occasion registered while taxing to the gate! But by all means give it a go at more than three days!
