You may check whether your IPO application is successful or not using your IC number or company registration number at MIH website http://mih.com.my/enquiry.php. Unfortunately it seems MIH has not even putting up the list of successful/unsuccessful applicants in website, opposed to what they normally did for the past IPOs.

Alternatively, if you were applied online through online banking, you may check through your eIPO or eShare status. This method is seem more efficient than the delayed MIH website, as the banks will update the IPO application status in your online banking and refund your application monies immediately should your application is not successful. This is way more faster and efficient than you buy a bank draft and submit your IPO application form manually.
