Strange. My wife got her PR in 2 years following the document checklist issued by Shah Alam immigration. We didn't listen to any hearsays or used any runners. Just directly to the officer who advised us on what to prepare and submit. They were polite, firm and professional.

I heard that it's (somehow) easier in Shah Alam.

[@vincentchin88]

@@jameswang362 Not sure easier or not but the officer reminded to provide info from checklist accurately. We did that. Maybe some applicants submitted their docs partially or haphazardly that resulted in delay or rejection. Cincai submission gets cincai results.

[@tartanpimpernel6358]

Different state's departments apply the same policies wildly differently, from experience this goes for immigration, private education, and local councils. This isn't a surprise though as Malaysia is heavily heavily bureaucratic and overly centralised with a very autocratic culture which applies to the civil service. My experience years back was that the Selangor immigration department was massively helpful. The KL one is a black pit of despair where you need to not do your homework (it'll be wrong), where immigration officers sat next to each other contradict one another, there is no information provided or practical workflow for customers but you can get what need. Bring water, a book and a local.

The immigration is strict over long-term visas or PR because over the years Malaysia has been getting quite popular and a lot of these PR applications are cheats. So the immigration has to be detailed and strict over any application they received. However, my dealings with the immigration here has always been professional. They have been very helpful and polite. I'm applying for my husband's PR soon, the checklist is long but that's the immigration process anywhere in the world, I reckon.

As for me, I moved to live in Australia and had young kids for their best education is our top priority though we missed our favourite durian, local M'sian foods and the far away beaches in the east coast. But nowadays, best M'sian foods are easily found all over the world and durians are grown in Darwin Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hainan Island of China. With the best money 3 times of Ringgit, we are happy to travel 3 times a year via M'sia to other part of Asia. We found M'sian food in M'sia are no longer taste like M'sian which are greatly diluted by migrants taking over the traditional hawker stalls and restaurant outlets. M'sia living cost is still hard for ordinary income earners unless you're like this young lady who earn S$ and spend in M'sia. Asian people are generally helpful, kind and friendly as culturally they have no fear or feel suspicious for foreign people unlike foreigners who are polarised with their wealth, status quo and prefer to keep their privacy to themselves. And I was told M'sia is a much easier country for Muslim to migrate from the middle east if I'm not wrong.

The PR amd Citizenship process is discretionary in Malaysia. The entire process and qualifications are stated in the Constitution which is its sole document. So, just keep applying and re-apply if rejected (seek legal counsel first) until you get it. Yes its annoying and troublesome but thats the process. In addition to it write in formally to the Home Minister seeking your intention as it is the full authority of the Home Minister under the Constitution to approve all and any applications.
