This instrument approves a version of that form in the **Malay language** (Form No. 15 MLY).\n\nThis allows Malay-speaking passengers to provide required customs information about their personal effects in their own language, rather than using an English form.\n\n**Why it matters**\nIt helps ensure Malay-speaking travelers can understand and complete their customs declarations correctly, making the border clearance process smoother while ensuring proper declaration of goods."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-11-of-2012/documents"}}
