I got my 1 year Non-B in Penang in July ‘18. I applied a Monday morning. I arrived about 7 AM and were among the first 5 in the line. When they opened, they checked my paperwork and we got into the building. About 9 o’clock I was out again. Came back next day and collected my passport after 2 PM; took 10 minutes.
