I heard because Malaysia doesn't separate our first and last names, when submitting visa applications that ask for name as appearing on passports it should be First : None , Last : FULL NAME HERE
Because for countries that separate names, it would appear like this DOE<<JANE (two) whereas ours is FULL<NAME<HERE all one spaces

what is so difficult

surname and first name also dunno ?

if Malay name after bin/binti is surname
Cainis First phrase name is surname
and others after AL/AP is surname
*
Read properly la
It's not that I don't know, it's because Malaysia doesn't separate the names so sometimes the names might not be what they expect
Say your name is Lim Ah Beng
Then because Malaysia doesn't separate names, your passport says your first name is FNU (First name unknown) and your last name is Lim Ah Beng
So if you fill in first : Ah Beng, last : Lim you might run into problems because the authorities expect your name to match exactly as your passport
