Long wait for permanent residence status


THE path to permanent residence (PR) status varies between countries but at least, in most cases, information is provided ahead of time so one can decide if it is worth applying for it.

Without going through the travails of what we have endured in Malaysia, I simply wish to point out that inefficiencies and bureaucratic inertia coupled with vague, inaccurate information plague the path to obtaining PR in Malaysia.
