You are allowed to bring a guest or family member along but they will not be seated together with you. They will be seated at the rear of the hall together with the rest of the other guests.
Don't need to be kiasu and reach there too early, reach on time will do. The event has been designed for late comers, I'm guessing that is why dinner is served first. The ceremony starts only after the buffet dinner.
Not the whole place at Mountbatten CC is air conditioned. They set up a tent with evaporative air coolers and not all the air coolers are in working air condition. While Singapore is in equator with its hot and humid weather, having a tie put on will definitely make you perspire.
Do you know if we change to Singapore IC still can convert Malaysia license to Singapore license?
ReplyDeleteHi Penny,
DeleteI don't think so, because in order to convert you need to go to JPJ to get the JPJ extract which is a report of how many accidents you were involved during the duration you had your driving license.
If you are already holding Singapore NRIC, that means you do not have a valid Malaysia driving license anymore.
You will need to take their local test. If i'm not wrong, only the theory test.
DeleteI also wait for that day, still have more 17 days I can get my original citizenship certificate. My pink IC had collected as I was requested to get first for purchased a new flat and subsidy entitled. After this ceremony, I want head down to Malaysia PBB Bank to update my bank account and another day to KWSP withdraw my all funds. Thanks for your information, it was helping me a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Kahlen,
DeleteYou're most welcome :)
Kahlen, How did you request ICA to give you in advance? also via calling them and wait 3 weeks to get the real pink IC?
Deletehow long you wait for this letter?
ReplyDeletehi,
DeleteThey will only send you this letter when there is an upcoming ceremony. I think I got this letter two months after I have my borang K based on the time line of my blog post.
I got the letter within a week after I submitted the boring K. So yes it depends on your luck :)
DeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI just registered for Sg citizenship and passport.
I'm not sure what are the sequence next.
I understand I've to collect the Borang K form 3 months later, but the letter ask for certified NRIC, how to prove to Msia if I haven't attended the ceremony yet?
Hi, why do you need to prove to Malaysia that you have attended the ceremony? You can only attend the ceremony after you obtain your Borang K. Malaysia already know you have successfully renounced if they returned you the borang K.
DeleteYou will need to request for Certified true copy of your Citizenship Certificate and NRIC from ICA. Call them to inform and you can collect at level 6 of ICA after 2 weeks. You will need both the certified docs to collect your form K
DeleteHi, can you advice what to do if I am unable to attend the scheduled citizenship ceremony ? Will they be able to reschedule me to attend the other ceremony session on later date ? Who should I contact regarding this issue ? ICA or People Association or the respected GRC (organiser of the citizenship ceremony)?
ReplyDeleteHi Vivien,
DeleteI would think its best to notify them about your unavailability to attend the ceremony. My best guess is to contact ICA about it.

DeleteI just got my pink IC in the ceremony. However , I haven’t received my borang K and birth cert. Is it normal?
ReplyDeleteI got the letter for citizenship ceremony which going to held in March. Same, I have no news on borang K too since early Sep.
DeleteSame here. My citizenship ceremony is going to hold on early June 2018, but no news on the borang K and birth cert. Anyone else experience the same?
DeleteHi, me too, according to Kevin's procedure, after 3-4 months i'm expecting to received letter to collect Borang K from MHC. But received a letter from ICA to attend ceremony on mid July 2018.
Delete@Kenny and Alan, can please update us what happened to your Borang K after attended the Citizenship ceremony.
Besides, I have not declared anything to my property Msia bank of my citizenship conversion. Intending to sell off my property after got my Borang K.. Thanks.
I think it is due to the new duration of complete renunciation (8 months now as stated in MY-RN1 form, previously was shorter). I took my oath at ICA in Feb and earlier this month I got a letter from ICA to attend the Citizenship Ceremony in July. Guess we have to wait till Borang K is released then we can do epf withdrawal and property conversion in Malaysia, even though we have obtained our IC and citizenship cert.
ReplyDeleteHi. Benjamin.. have u received ur borang K?
DeleteI get my slip on Nov 2017 until now not yet received any letter from ICA regarding my Citizenship Ceremony. Do i need to call ICA or which is the correct department to call?
ReplyDeleteHi all, any updates on your boring K and birth cert? I submitted High com Apr 2019 and attended SG ceremony got pink ic already. However, not receive high comm letter to collect back my birth cert yet. Ten months passed.
ReplyDeleteHi All, i jz call high comm aft 10 mths from my birth cert submission, they said my borang K is ready and they email me (although i not receive). Will collect tmr, the MY official say just photocopy my sg IC, sg passport and sg certificate will do to do collection.
