Registration of Marriage (ROM) for Foreign Spouse in Malaysia

Ok, here I am now trying to refresh my memory as much as I can about the whole process of getting my ROM (Registration of Marriage) done in Malaysia early this year, 2014.

I'd like to record down all the processes I've gone through when applying the legal procedures that need to be done as a foreigner wife staying in Malaysia. The steps may vary from case to case but this is based on my experience as per my application in August 2014. I thought that I should share it too and hope it will be useful to other foreign husbands/wives who plan to stay in Malaysia.
