Please read through the forum. As of what I remember, you don't need to translate, if it is in Malay.

I called ICA to confirm, start from August 2016 those in Malay documents need translate to English, hope someone can advise where and how much need to pay for the translation. Thanks

Not strange at all. If you have ever read any business letters typed by the vast majority of locals you would swear that they failed English as well.
