Been to my mechanic and searched for 4 hours and we still could not locate the OBD2 point. We checked all common area at front engine compartment and interior both passenger and driver side but failed to locate it. Now at wits end as no OBD2 diagnostic, i cannot know what's wrong with my car.
By the way, my front cluster panel do not have any Check engine indicator at all.

normally they are all under lh side of dash it may have a cover over it. when vehicles went to OBD2 all manufacturers were required to install it there .then go to a mazda dealer they will find it or know where it is.
