Conversion To Singapore License

For Malaysians who have been staying in Singapore for a long period and would like to convert their Malaysian license to a Singapore license, they need to submit the driving history record during their application for conversion. This driving record history can be retrieved from any JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalanraya @ Road Transport Department) branch in the country.

As agreed between the two countries' government, a citizen can only hold one license from either of these country. The conversion is only is only applicable for class D and B2 license.

Please let me loosely translate the items in the document on left to English. The document is the letter accompanying the driving history record.
