We would like to inform you that the Buddy Translation Service System is available for you, whereby you will be able to get one of your Malaysian friends to be your translator. The details for the translation service are as follows: 

The Buddy Translation Service is to provide translation services to International students who are experiencing difficulties in getting translators when they are in the Ministry of Health’s facilities. They can get assistance from their Malaysian friends to translate for them. 

  • Malaysian students, who are translating for their international friends, will be paid RM100.00 per hour and they are limited to a maximum of 2 hours of translation per day.
  • The students (translators) will need to fill in the ‘Student Buddy Translation Service Claims’ Form. Hard copies of the form are available at the Student Affairs Office while the soft copy is available on MOODLE, under Student Affairs.
  • The International students will need to verify and acknowledge the translation service in the ‘Claim Form’ for the student translators.
  • The student translators will hand in the hard copies of the form to the receptionist, Ms Nurkhuraishah, for approval by the Dean’s Office. Submission must be done by the 17th of every month.
  • The reimbursement period of the form will be from the 16th of the preceding month to the 16th of the current month.

For example;
Approved: Submitting a claim from 20th August to 12th September
Rejected: Submitting a claim from 3rd August to 15th September
In this case, a student will need to submit 2 forms; which will be for the period of 3rd August to 15th August, and 16th August to 15th August.
