Ah, but maybe we should be, after all, we are supposed to be lifting the sorely depleted gene pool here, not depressing it even further. No wonder the locals are yelling, more of the same!emelia1 wrote:errr.. you should just chill. i dont know why some people here are so worked up with their replies. nothing wrong with replying amicably. we are here to help each other, irregardless of how dumb their questions can be, not judging someone's intellectual.
However, we all know what 377A says as well, but the government doesn't necessarily enforce it either. What is on the books, like most things in Singapore, allows them to be as lenient as they want. So, while it's in black & white, it may well be not exactly what they are doing at any given time. That's why we find anecdotal evidence a lot more compelling the regurgitated copy/paste/quote the text answers. It's also why you don't get a lot a respect here. You are too dry, frankly speaking.

If the instructions have changed recently, then we cannot reasonably rely on past reports, especially well past reports, of others' experiences. If they haven't, then we reasonably can. I don't care whether the instructions changed or not, but I'd like to know what the facts about these instructions are.
On edit: Answering my own question, I've now found the March, 2014, edition of the "Explanatory Notes." That edition of the instructions also contains the "Official translations are required if they are not in English" admonition. Thus I think we can reasonably rely on late 2014 and more recent reports of successful experiences submitting untranslated Malaysian language documents to ICA.
