Malaysia's Development

i was going through immigration department's website regarding Entry Permits application and to me there seems to be some flaws.

Entry Permit (EP) is a permit issued to foreigners who are not citizen of Malaysia entering to reside in this country. Those who have been issued with EP are exempted from applying for any type of Pass either for employment or other purpose.

Conditions Application Notes Wife of Malaysian Citizen residing in this country on long stay Social Visit Pass / Temporary Employment Pass / Employment Pass on a year-to-year renewable basis CONTINOUSLY for 5 years or more. what about foreign husbands of malaysian wives, don't these women deserve equal rights? Application can be made using an IM.4 Pin 1/93 Form with a local sponsor by husband of applicant.

Application can be made using an IM.4 Pin 1/93 Form sponsor by father / mother / close relative of applicant who is Malaysian Citizen / Permanent Resident of Malaysia. Spouse and children of Malaysian Citizen who posess expertise / skills and overseas working experience, planning to return and work in Malaysia (under the programme to encourage Malaysian Citizens with expertise residing overseas to return to Malaysia). what about children who possess no expertise skill and have been staying in malaysia for the past 16 years? Approval of this application will be given within 6 months from the date submition to the Immigration Department.

well my interest in the immigrations started off because of my friend. his mom his malaysian citizen and hes been staying here in malaysia for 16 years and yet these people rejected their application for the last 10 years of Permanent Residence. WHY? i have no idea. on paper its all good and he fits all the criteria's that they have asked.

so why is it that he was denied permanent residency (in a long strecth citizenship) by them?

being rather critical again, i was just commenting on a bad piece of work on the Sejarah Malaysia Website with its badly written articles. it was entirely boring.

i was trying to look up Malaysia's history on citizenships. the last time i spoke to was someone from Kementerian Keselamatan Dalam Negeri. the uncle was telling me the reason why he was having a hard time getting a citezenship was that it could be due to his Grandmother and Grandfathers (mother's side - malaysian) way of obtaining their citizenship.

funny aint it? 30 years ago of history is being made accountable for todays. where did they get the idea from? the story was (according to uncle) those days there was several ways of getting your citizenship, the legal way (those born pre merdeka), the almost legal way (.... ) and the not legal way (those via schemes brought through sabah and sarawak?). so the thing was my friend's grandmother was chinese, and his grandfather india (or mamak lah considering he's muslim).

i don't see the correlation either. but then again some civil servants do love to do your head in. the term budi bicara only applies to friends and family. it doesnt matter if someone is need of help but they don't know you then by all means GET LOST in the most nicest manner they could muster.

seriously i've work with some shitty people before... if only it was as easy to be accepted as it is kicked out. then everyone would work much harder.
