2. Submit borang W applicaton(Malaysia High Commission @ jervois rd) - Baby has to be present. They will only provide the form (2 copies) there. Documents needed such as passports, ICs, birth cert, marriage cert etc...(please refer to below scan version). Need two photocopies each...photocopy and photo taking services are available at the premises. The fee is S$15. They will hold your ICs and baby birth cert. 7 working days for collection of Borang W in morning hour. After submission done, go to passport section to have your baby shown to the officer so that the baby don't need to be present for passport application at later time. The officer will stamp a date and sign on the passport application form. 2 Malaysia passport size photos needed for Borang W and 2 for passport Passport. Photo size 5cm*3.5cm blue background.

* The locaiton is 301 Jervois Road. It is not an easy place to locate in Singapore. See the exact location on Wikimapia.
* Applications must be submitted between 8am and 11am.
* There is a photo-taking booth in the office that you can use. I think it’s S$6 per shot.
* There is no convenient parking nearby. Go for illegal parking, unfortunately, along a quiet road opposite the complex.
* There are no nearby MRT stations too. Alight at either Tiong Bahru or Orchard, then get a taxi.
* If you somehow find usefulness in calling up, the Immigration Dept contact number is 6732.8067/62350111.
More tips:
- If you are married and register in Singapore. Please make sure that you do a marriage registration in Malaysia. They are only interested in Malaysian Marriage Certs.
- Make sure you have 2 copies of everything. I mean every damn thing. Passport, IC, Birth Certs, etc.
- Take a cab instead of driving there, not to worry, it is rather easy to get a cab there.
- Bring another identification card i.e. Driving license or Insurance card. cause, you will need to keep your Malaysian IC and Singapore IC. Else, be worried that you will need to hand over yr bank card.
- Bring some food or drinks with you. If you are lucky, you get out in 1hr, if not sit there and be amused like everyone else.
- After you are done with Warganegara (Borang W), then proceed to counter 11 to get yr kids passport form verified so that the poor kid need not to come back for another round of waiting and etc.
- Be there before 8 or else wait and wait.
- Relax and have a sense of humor, you are going to need it.

Double Boiler for Chicken Essence
Type 1:
Recommended by the sales assistant from CK Tang, seconded by some neighborhood aunties when we were searching for it. Not easy to find.
Got it from:
Sia Huat Pte Ltd
Bought APR2009 for SGD43.50 (Can ask for discount)
Address:7, 9, 11 Temple St Singapore 058559 Tel:62231732
Ingredients:
1) Black Chicken, 1 for SGD5 or Kampung Chicken, 1 for SGD7.80 (If use Kampung chicken, 1/2 will do.) Ask the stall to chop into 6-8 pieces, remove skin and fats.
2) Chinese Berry 杞子王 around 10
3) Jing Xuan Huai san 精选淮山 1 piece.
Method:
Put the chicken inside the inner boiler with holes, then put the Chinese Herbs inside the inner boiler without holes where the essence will store during boiling. Initially, use strong fire to boil for 10-15 minutes, then turn to small fire to boil for 2-3 hours. After that, turn off the fire, leave it there without open the lid for another 2-3 hours. Finally, open the lid, remove the meat and drink the essence.
