Hi there about six months ago I tried to apply for a bumi status but cant go through the application. Apparently they needed my father's birth certificate and relevant documents even though both my parents have divorced since i was in secondary school.since i have lost contact with him for nearly a decade its not possible to contact him .Just want to know if anyone had a similar predicament like me and I was wondering if any here managed to get their status changed using documents from a single parent ? Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated and sorry for the inconvenience
