Can anyone provide any assistance with my birth certificate being witheld from me?

[wangaturtle 4]

Hi everyone. Can someone please help. My mother and my father are holding my Malaysian birth certificate from me. We have tried calling the police but they laugh at me and tell me to make up with my mom and ask her for it (she refuses to give it to me "for my protection"), we have tried contacting Malaysia but they're saying in order to extract a birth certificate they need my parent to come with me to get it even though I am 20. My whole family is against me because they don't want me to leave the country and I am losing hope. Please if anyone knows anything that we can do to get my birth certificate because I need my final interview done. I am begging for anyone who can give any advice at all.

That does not sound tight how would you get one if your parents were no more.

That's exactly what I was saying! But they still said multiple times that I need one of my parents there I have no Malaysian ID is the reason they said.

I have lived here in the Philippines my whole life.

Look up the reciprocity schedule.

If you need further assistance, reach out to the closest Diplomatic mission for Malaysia. 

 

Which passport to you intend to use to immigrate?

My Philippines Passport. I don't have a Malaysian passport. I just need my Malaysian birth certificate for my interview because I was born there. The only way I can get any certified copy, I was told I need my parent with me in Malaysia.

Read the reciprocity schedule again.

Yes. I have. The only way you can get an alternate document for a birth certificate in Malaysia is doing what they said which is having my parent with me.

Yes that is what it says but the government in Malaysia is saying otherwise. We have both called multiple different government bodies in Malaysia and they have all said the same thing.
