Legalization of our Degree (Part 2)

Read part 1 here.
http://rsmu2009.blogspot.com/2009/04/legalization-of-our-degree-part-1.html
From the Part 1, there are 2 packages. But I'll only be doing the one through Moslanka. I can do both option 1 (without apostille) and option 2 (with apostille). It's hassle free, it's quick (5 working days for option 1, 10 working days for option 2), all done on ORIGINAL copies and if anything happens, we all know that Moslanka is still in Frunzen.

So in conclusion:
From Lingoservice agent: Not worth it, dangerous because most agents can only do on copies. On original copies should be more expensive and we won't be responsible if anything happens. We are not going to handle this one. It's up to you.
Without apostille = 7000ru in 5 working days, on notarized copies. Total = 7000ru.
With apostille = 7000ru+5800ru in a total of 10 working days, on notarized copies. Total = 12800ru

From Moslanka:
Without apostille: 5000ru in 5 working days, on original copies. Total = 5000ru.
With apostille: 5000ru+7-8000ru in a total of 10 working days, on original copies. Total = 12-13000ru
*please note that 7-8000ru is just an estimate I get from him, he can only confirm the price in few weeks time.*

All students inclusive of the govt. sponsored students will have to fork out 5000ru for the service.
Govt. students can claim 5000ru later from the embassy (receipt from Moslanka will be given).
About the compensation/claim from embassy, so far JPA confirm will get back the money. For MARA students, it's still not sure.
Fees will only be paid through bank (so any 'setting up', undertable/coffee money will be minimized).

What do I need to do?
- YM me! I need your confirmation PERSONALLY.
- Give me your full name and the option of choice (either with or without apostille)
- Money will be collected later, I'll keep you posted about this
I need all your names ASAP, preferably by tonight. I'll send in the list BY Thursday morning. Latecomers will not be entertained. I won't include your name if I don't get a personal confirmation. So please reply me through YM.

Thanks! for your cooperation.

p.s. please let all your friends know about this. I've asked around for some legal advices (lawyers, MOH, MMC). Lawyers don't know what is apostille. MOH, MMC don't reply our emails. You can check back the 1st part of legalization, only some info from a not so accurate source (Farid).

**Thanks to Janet, Yan Han and Sze Voon for the help in getting the advices. A shoutout to Yuva, Bala and Navin for accompanying me to the few agencies and Moslanka.**

edit2: I also realized that MMA students are paying only 800ru for their degree legalization. http://mma2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/diploma-legalization.html
I've spoken to the president about this, and was told that their university will be doing the translation for them. The last day of their exam is on 11th of June 2009. Their dekanat will then proceed to prepare the diplom. The MID chop that the dekanat opted for, needs 14 days to be cleared.
Anyway, we'll get to the bottom of this, to find out why and how can they get such cheap rates. For the mean time, please still submit in your names and options, as anyhow I still need to know who is opting for what.
*If you have any info regarding this, just leave a comment below. Thanks!

Will keep you posted!
