Under the Companies Act 2016 (Section 576), documents submitted to SSM in a language other than Bahasa Melayu must be accompanied by a certified Malay translation. This applies to foreign-language constitutional documents, board resolutions, and shareholder agreements submitted as part of company registration, branch registration, or any statutory filing with SSM.
Malaysian courts conduct proceedings in Bahasa Melayu. English-language documents are accepted alongside certified Malay translations. Under the Evidence Act 1950, parties submitting foreign-language documents must provide certified translations into Bahasa Melayu.

However, it is strongly recommended for employees whose working language is Bahasa Melayu, and some government-linked employers require Malay-language contracts as policy. Foreign multinationals operating in Malaysia commonly translate their standard employment contracts into Bahasa Melayu for their Malaysian workforce.
