Not sure if it is michillen only problem. Mine also crack like that after 2 years. But with a lot of thread.

mine not on side wall ... is on the edge ... maybe cause by not doing rotation since replace new

It is normal for XM2.
My previous XM2 had such signs and changed them after 4.5 years with plenty of thread left.
The tires have hardened and ride is very bumpy.
So I changed to a softer and quieter tires but thread wear won't be as long lasting.
But heck, I can't wear out the previous XM2 so no point to use such lasting tyres unless I'm a Grab driver.

if is normal ,only front 2 tyre like this , do i need to rotate to back ?

normal...due to softer compound used on XM2

if i put front to back , 7 people in car will it burden the back tyre ( previously front tyre )

it is normal to rotate (front back) the tyres for even wear and tear.

From the picture, the front tyre wear still look OK.
I think no need to rotate.
Don't worry about the tyre, it's normal for XM2 wear to look like this.
Your tyres are just 2 years +, just in mid life.
Enjoy your trip and don't worry so much.

maybe because of my working place is JALAN MATI , so everyday need 3 point turn 2 times a day ( lunch and home )
when turning the steering, only tire turning car not moving ....
