This ensures Malaysian-speaking passengers can understand and complete their legal declarations properly, rather than struggling with an English-only form."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-24-of-2012/documents"}}
