Yes employer has to do it normally as usually part of job offer BUT that isn't the law. Or you need to pay someone specialised to do it as doing it yourself would be difficult as all forms in Malay (and a lot of Malays struggle to understand the Malay on these forms lol)

BTW min salary 5,000 RM or you are in trouble....
