No need translate. I did not translate when submit my application

I got mine translated, but the officer didn't actually ask me for it when I submitted my documents over the counter (I submitted my application late last year before online applications were introduced).

But for some peace of mind, just translate lor.

I know this forum has been saying that, for Malaysians applying for Singapore PR, there is no need to get a English translation of the Birth Cert (issued in Malay). However, the "Chat replied (Ask Jamie @ICA) from ICA website" indicated that it has to be translated to English. Is there any latest info on this Birth Cert translation issue? Would appreciate feedback from recent PR applicants. Tq.

When in doubt, translate. Simple.

I submitted in Jan 2020, completed my formalities recently.
My birth cert is in Malay without translation, no problem during formalities too.
As I understand Malay is the national language of Singapore, it is not necessary.

* But then again, please don't blame me if anything happen to your application due to this

Yes I presume there are Malay staff at ICA who could read it. However, for other languages, it's best to translate ie: Vietnamese, Thai etc. But to err on the side of caution, translate to avoid any unnecessary delays in your application.

Jun Jie, in total how many months did you have to wait for the application to be approved?

I applied for mine end of March and have not heard from ICA yet. Am wondering if the Covid situation lengthened the processing time...

In any case I just found out that the birth certificate need to be translated but I didn’t do for mine... hopefully it will still go through like yours
