RFID passports

While doing research for a project (about RFID technology) I stumbled upon this passage on Wikipedia:

RFID tags are being used in passports issued by many countries. The first RFID passports ("E-passport") were issued by Malaysia in 1998. In addition to information also contained on the visual data page of the passport, Malaysian e-passports record the travel history (time, date, and place) of entries and exits from the country.

Hmm...I certainly didn't know that Malaysia was the first country to issue RFID passports!
