Borang K

Finally! I obtain my borang K. Below is what I did.

1. Went to Immigration & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) in the morning
2. Take the lift to level 6
3. Get a queue ticket by pressing "Enquiry"
4. When my number is called, show my temporary Singapore NRIC as proof that I'm who I said I am.
5. Get my certified photocopy of
• Singapore NRIC
• Citizen certificate
6. I was told by ICA officer there isn't any photocopy services within the building. Never really went around to proof her wrong. So I went to a nearby photocopy store. There is one opposite burger king and I photocopied these
• Singapore NRIC (2 copies)
• Citizenship certificate, front & back (2 copies)
• Passport, bio data page only (2 copies)

After that I head to Malaysia High Commission (MHC) that opens at 2:30pm. Seems to me, they open earlier than 2:30pm. Every time I'm there before 2:30pm, there are already people finished their task and leaving the place. This is what I did there.

1. Go straight to the left most counter in that room
2. Hand over the photocopied documents.
3. Got my borang K and my birth certificate.
4. Head over to the other room where Malaysians renew their passport.
5. Photocopy my borang K, front & back.

Head over to ICA.

1. Take a lift to level 6
2. Get a queue number by pressing "Collection"
3. When my number is called. Hand over the photocopied borang K and show the officer the original for verification.

That's all. Next I'll be going back to Malaysia to sell my parent's car which is under my name and also to withdraw my EPF.

Request for Citizenship Certificate

 Finally received a confirmation letter from Malaysia High Commission (MHC) after 4 months.

1. Bring this letter to Immigratrion & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) level 6. 
2. Get a queue ticket for enquiry.
3. When your number is called, show the officer this document. They will give you a date of collection for the citizenship certificate. 

Oath of Renunciation

My appointment for oath of renunciation at ICA is 3:15pm and I was worried that I might be late so I went there early. As a result I was there early, way too early. I reached at 2:00pm and my queue number was called at 3:30pm. Word of advice, reach there 5-15 minutes will do, just don't be late.

When my number was called, I submitted these documents

1. Original MY-RN1 form returned to me from Malaysia High Commission
2. Photocopy of my birth certificate with a stamp by Malaysia High Commission
3. Photocopied documents of both above
4. Blue Singapore NRIC
5. 4 passport photos

It is preferable to take photos from level 1 of ICA as it is totally non glossy because they will use this photo on your temporary paper NRIC and stamp an ICA watermark on it. If it is glossy they will reject as the ink on the stamp will not stick on the photo.

During the handover of documents, thumb print was taken using thumb print scanner and SGD 70 was paid with NETS.

Now I will have to wait for Malaysia High Commission to return me my K form and submit to ICA in order for me to collect my pink NRIC. I was told that I do not need to make any appointment to submit my K form, just go get a queue number.

Lastly I wait for my turn to swear the oath of renunciation and pledge allegiance to Singapore and sign some documents before I received my temporary paper NRIC while awaiting for my actual pink NRIC.

With the above done, I can apply for Singapore passport on the spot but I applied online as it is SGD10 cheaper.

Document Collection after Renunciation

At the end of the first visit to High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore to renounce my citizenship, I obtained a pink slip that tells me to collect some documents 3 days later between 2:30pm-4:00pm.

Today is the day!

1. I reached there at 2:20pm, went to the guard house to get a pass. Just tell the guard that you are collecting your renunciation forms, he will give you the correct pass. 
2. Go to consular section, you will see an officer or an usher in the middle of the waiting area very busy taking inquiries. 
3. Tell him/her you are collecting your renunciation forms and pass him/her your pink slip. 
4. Wait at the waiting area for your name to be called. I waited for 5-10 minutes only.
5. Once called, verify the documents if they are yours.
• MY-RN1 form that you previously printed, filled up and submitted.
• Photocopy birth certificate.
• An official receipt of your previously paid SGD 10.00 in yellow color.
6. You will need to pass these documents to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

Renounce Malaysia Citizenship (July 2016)

I am currently renouncing my Malaysia citizenship at High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore. I had been referring to this website/blog and it had helped me a lot but it was a blog written in 2012 and I thought it would be helpful if I had it updated.

Documents to bring

1. Singapore citizenship approval letter from Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
• Photocopy 2 copies of the letter.
2. Malaysia NRIC.
• Photocopy 2 copies of your Malaysia NRIC front and back.
• Bring your original NRIC
3. Singapore blue NRIC.
• Photocopy 2 copies of your Singapore blue NRIC front and back.
• Bring your original Singapore blue NRIC (they took my photocopied version without verifying, anyway just bring it with you just in case).
4. Birth certificate.
• Laminate your birth certificate.
• Photocopy 2 copies of your birth certificate front and back.
5. Malaysia passport (no need to photocopy).
6. 3x passport photos with white background.
7. SGD 10.00 cash for processing fee (Please bring exact amount).
8. Filled up Borang K (K form).
• Can be downloaded from High Commission of Malaysia website or the link above.
• Fill it up with ball pen in black ink in capital letters.
• This is not the final form that you will be submitting, just a practice form that you filled up so that the person there can verify before handing you the actual yellow colored K form for you to fill up again. 
9.  Filled up MY-RN1 form.
• Can be downloaded from High Commission of Malaysia website or the link above.
• Fill it up with ball pen in black ink in capital letters.
• The birth certificate number to fill in is your Malaysia birth certificate number, not the Singapore birth certificate number.

Procedures

1. If you are taking bus like I did, you can alight at Valley Point Condominium.
2. Walk along SPC, up Jervois Road then turn right onto Cable Road.
3. Get a pass at the security guard station. He will ask about your purpose of visit, tell him you are renouncing your citizenship. He will then give you the appropriate pass. The pass to renew passport is different from the one to renounce your citizenship.
4. Walk to towards Consular section and queue outside the door. I was there at 7:45am, 15 minutes before it was open. The pass number you obtain at the security guard station is not your queue number.
5. Once the door is open, go in, keep right along the wall and queue to wait for your documents to be verified. Once verified, he/she will give you a yellow K form.
6. Fill up your yellow K form. I suggest you bring your own black colored ball pen (not gel or fountain pen) to sit down and fill up the form instead of standing there at the table attached to the wall, crowding with the rest of the people queuing, waiting to get their documents verified.
7. Please be considerate and give your seat away to mothers whom are carrying their newborn baby when you are done with your forms. The room is so darn small and it is for people to renounce citizenship, register their marriage and register their newborn babies.
8. Once you are done with your form. Have the officer who verified your newly filled up yellow K form. You do not need to follow the initial queue, there is a separate queue for people who had completed their yellow K form.
9. The officer will verify your form and if everything is correct, he/she will take your thumb print with black ink pad onto your yellow K form and have you sign the yellow K form. He/she will give you a queue number to submit your documents.
10. Once your number is called, hand over your documents. He/she will then verify your documents again. If everything is okay, you will be leaving the place without your Malaysia passport, Malaysia NRIC and your birth certificate. Wait for your number to be called again at another counter for payment.
11. The payment is SGD 10.00. Please bring exact amount, they do not break a $50 for you. I was given a collection slip 3 days later from today to collect my documents between 2:30pm-4:00pm.
