QUESTION​

Yang Berhormat Dr. Awang Haji Mahali bin Haji Momin​

YANG BERHORMAT DR. AWANG HAJI MAHALI BIN HAJI MOMIN asks the MINISTER OF DEVELOPMENT to state whether the Ministry can explain efforts to provide a standardised and easily accessible Jawi spelling guide, given that amendments to or rejection of signboard applications not only delay approval but also add costs to business owners?

ANSWER​

Yang Berhormat Menteri Pembangunan​

  • Thank you Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua. Thank you as well to Yang Berhormat Dr. Awang Haji Mahali bin Haji Momin for the question raised.
  • For Yang Berhormat's information, based on the statistics of signboard applications handled by ABCi, only 5% of the total number of applications were rejected or amended, which was not due to the use of Jawi spelling, but rather due to matters such as incomplete information, installation locations not being in permitted areas, or technical adjustments such as the height of the signboard for the safety of road users.
  • In general, the first step for business companies wishing to apply for signboards is to submit an application for translation and Jawi script as well as Roman script together with a sketch to the Language and Literature Bureau first for verification. Guidance on the use of Jawi script may be referred to the Language and Literature Bureau, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
  • After obtaining verification of the Jawi script and Roman script, only then does the applicant submit an application for permission to install the signboard to ABCi through the online system, namely the Onebiz System, by attaching the prior verification from the Language and Literature Bureau as one of the required documents.

That is all Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua that Kaola is able to convey in answering the question of Yang Berhormat Dr. Awang Haji Mahali bin Haji Momin.
