Permohonan dalam talian diterima tanpa mengira tempat tinggal.

Permohonan means application or request in a formal sense.

It is formed from the root mohon, which means to request, to ask for, or to apply for. The pattern peN-...-an often creates a noun related to the action, so:

• mohon = to request / apply
• permohonan = application / request

In this sentence, permohonan is a formal administrative word, so it fits well in an official notice.

Dalam talian means online.

Literally, it is something like in line / on the line, but in normal usage it simply means online or internet-based.

So:

• permohonan dalam talian = online application(s)

This is a common formal expression in Malay, especially in websites, forms, government notices, and customer service messages.

In Malay, modifiers usually come after the noun, not before it as in English.

So:

• permohonan dalam talian = literally application online
• natural English: online application

This noun + modifier order is very common in Malay:

• kereta merah = red car
• bilik kecil = small room
• permohonan dalam talian = online application

Because this sentence is using the passive form.

• menerima = to receive / accept active
• diterima = is received / is accepted passive

Here, permohonan dalam talian is the thing being acted on, so Malay uses the passive:

• Permohonan dalam talian diterima... = Online applications are accepted / received...

If you used menerima, the sentence would need a subject that does the action, such as an office or organization.

It can suggest either, depending on context.

• received = they will take in the applications
• accepted = they allow or approve such applications

In an administrative sentence like this, diterima often means something like accepted or welcomed for submission.

So the sentence may imply:

• Online applications are accepted regardless of place of residence.

But in some contexts, received is also a reasonable translation.

Tanpa mengira means regardless of, without taking into account, or without considering.

Breakdown:

• tanpa = without
• mengira = counting, calculating, considering

Although mengira often literally means to count, in this expression it means to take into consideration.

So:

• tanpa mengira tempat tinggal = regardless of place of residence

This is a very common formal phrase in Malay.

Literally:

• tempat = place
• tinggal = stay / live

So tempat tinggal literally means place of staying/living.

In natural English, it usually means:

• place of residence
• residence
• home address depending on context

In this sentence, tempat tinggal is best understood as where you live.

Malay does not usually need a verb like to be in the same way English does.

In English, you say:

• Online applications are accepted...

In Malay, the passive verb diterima already carries the main verbal meaning, so there is no separate word for are.

This is normal in Malay grammar and does not make the sentence incomplete.

Malay does not have articles that work like English a, an, and the.

So permohonan can mean:

• application
• an application
• applications
• the application(s)

The exact meaning depends on context.

In this sentence, the general meaning is plural and generic:

• Online applications are accepted...

Malay often leaves nouns unmarked for plural when the meaning is already clear from context.

So permohonan can be singular or plural. Here, because the sentence is a general policy statement, it naturally reads as plural:

• Online applications are accepted...

Malay can mark plurality in some ways, such as reduplication, but it is not necessary here.

Yes, it is quite formal and sounds like the kind of sentence you would see in:

• government notices
• official websites
• application instructions
• institutional announcements

Words and phrases like permohonan, dalam talian, and tanpa mengira are all common in formal or administrative Malay.

Yes, to some extent.

For example:

• Tanpa mengira tempat tinggal, permohonan dalam talian diterima.

This still means essentially the same thing: Regardless of place of residence, online applications are accepted.

However, the original order is very natural for an official statement because it starts with the main topic:

• Permohonan dalam talian = the thing being discussed

So the original wording sounds smooth and standard.
