Millions of immigrants from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar and other poor countries seeks Malaysian citizenship. So the government has to make it difficult
Yes it's true. It's a privilege to gain Malaysian citizenship. I know it's difficult. My friend got his PR after 20 years of perseverance.
Wishing you all the best.
is it worth it
20 Years???? Oh my days
Malaysian can be so salty sometimes lmao. Relax she isnt saying anything that bad its just her opinion….
that's us especially the Malays....you can do whatever you want but never 'touch' about our belief, 5 Rukun Negara - the National Principles
Her opinion, that is correct. But do some research upfront before going to Malaysia about citizenship, salaries, etc would be better. Then you know what you can expect.
You pay taxes because of the infrastructure that you are using,roads,lights ,security etc…that doesn’t give you the right to be a citizen.it’s fair and square,Malaysian also pay taxes for all that except we had special priviliges like,cheap healthcare and education.PR or citizenship can’t be bought for something as simple as paying taxes.It’s priceless.
LOL you're just looking for people to praise your country. If you want foreigners in your country, the foreigners also want to know whether they can plan a long term future there. That includes PR and maybe citizenship so these things matter when people are making decisions.
Despite the imperfect aspects, a great number of foreigners choose to stay in Malaysia.
@@Whamku India is a useless country for welcoming foreigners. Malaysia is much better. I have no problem in saying this. However, Malaysia can do better to attract people.
@@harisadu8998 he says fact tho, what most expatriate dos not willing to give up was to renounce they previous nationality. malaysia doesn't accept dual nationality. same as indonesian too. as i know phipipines alows it. i don't know about hong kong as she says, since the region have china control now. being malaysian citizen.
do 10 year living and pay tax.
know bahasa language.
and renounce your previous citizenship. or you so special dude play football for malaysian team or special political sanctuary for some people.
that's all. keep any language or culture to your self or community but be 1 as malaysian. that's why we are so diverse.
@@wansyahreen7839 That's because your definition of expats are just Western Europeans. A Russian citizen won't mind taking Malaysian citizenship instead of Russian citizenship. A Ukrainian also won't mind.
It's true that citizenship is a privilege in Malaysia. This is due to our history. Foreigner at best score a PR. It's not as tough as Japan but Malaysia is really up there, quite close.
So many countries don't have granted PR and citizenship. Canada doesn't have granted PR. You'll need ask for it and after some time, you can ask for citizenship. Doesn't mean you'll get it, even if you are married to a Canadian it's not granted. As for the salaries, depends on the cost of living. In Canada, salaries may be higher but cost of living is also high.
My friend worked in UK more than 10years. Now he back in Malaysia because taxes there quite, high almost ½ from his income.
Ha ha... he just realized after 20 years. The reason why i didnt work in the west is just that, when many of my colleagues decided to work there. I chose to work in Singapore, be in Malaysia on most weekend.
Kat negara barat cukai memang tinggi...kita nie kire beruntung lah lagi.cukai pendapatan tak tinggi sangat
@@mbb5496 Bro at least his healthcare is taken care of. In malaysia, some hospital even don't work on PH.
@@sleepyearthas a Malaysian living in the UK currently, the condition of the healthcare is horrible atm
@@sleepyearth😂I'm in Quebec Canada and health care system sucks! We pay the most taxes in the country and we have the worst system. It may be free but you'll have a hard time finding a doctor and have services. Some people even died at the emergency because they took too long to take care of them lol.
Listen to that malaysian. Be grateful, respect and love each other.
true about the salary .. low income but high price of food source.. fish, chicken, vege now is quite expensive if u compared how much salary we make ... but under 3k salary no need to pay tax
i'm Malaysian and I totally agree with this policy
Agreed, The 🇺🇸 needs to adopt Malaysia's strict citizen and permanent residency policies pronto.
Nomad Capitalist has details about Malaysia 🇲🇾. The founder of Nomad Capitalist Andrew Henderson has a house in Kuala Lumpur.
The last I remember, expatriates working in Malaysia enjoy high salaries & perks compared to locals. Surely you cannot compare the salary levels here with developed countries because it also commensurates with inflation, cost of living, taxes, etc.
Yes, you are right. Some of the bosses have a driver to office. So, what you said is untrue. May be you are not an expatriate but you stay in Malaysia and apply job by your own. We Malaysian also also cukup cukup makan. Cannot be a millionaire
In their country they cannot compete, so they flock to asia...and so we think they are smart in everything..we see them as the best from their country...not always true..the ones who find it hard flock like seagulls...
She is not comparing herself with locals. She literally just said that compared to other countries, if you want somewhere to work and save up, Malaysia is not the best place to go.
whats the expat minimum package like
I am a British Citizen working as a train driver. I dont think il earn the same in Malaysia but i want to visit Malaysia in the next couple of years. If i like the country, i want to buy a property for retirement. Maybe rent it out for 15-20 years.
It's a country for the benefits of malays, its literally called malaysia, what do u expect?
Citizenship SHOULD be hard to get.. you have to earn it, its not given smh
But at least give a guide on how to be one?
Salary is no doubt low but tax rate is likewise low relative to other country compared. Rental rate and rate of inflation are also low relative to other countries in the region.
PR and or citizenship have been awarded ...at point of independence substantially. But it is possible to get in view of significant contribution among others. These issues are country specific where such is even impossible elsewhere.😊
Gini sis pindahlah kenegara2 yg anda puji2 berkenaan knapa masih mahu tinggal lama di negara kami pelik sungguh anda ini dtang anda ke negara kami tidak dipaksa jdi disilakan tinggalkan kami jika anda rasa negara kami tidak sesuai dgn anda k.
Agree. Sebab negara pernah dijajah jadi mungkin perlu strict dari aspek beri hak warga negara. Our country's rule protect and prioritize our citizens that born here.
rasanya dia ada ckp dlm video lain yg suaminya org malaysia
Low salaries yes but for 10 dollars only you can get your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Can survive in Malaysia but hard to travels out..low salaries n small currency
Yeah but u will have to live your whole life in Malaysia, say goodbye to travelling.
If it's roti canai only for all three meals, ten dollars will be enough. But still go to bed hungry.
10 dollars?? we get salary in Ringgit not dollar.. for rm10 you only get bugget meal..
For ten dollars a day for meals will get you to bed on a hungry stomach.
Twenty years ago, maybe.
Not today.
Despite of whatever you people thinking of Malaysia 🇲🇾 many foreigners still want to come and plan to live here .. whether illegal or legal.. they keep coming..keep flocking here from east, west, north and south.. from everywhere on earth.. As Malaysia is in the centre and truly Asia and has everything these people disregards our imperfections. You also can find some villages of Koreans, Indonesians, Rohingya and also literally many from Japan and Singapore, westerners migrated or buy their second homes and properties here..
Can you find any other country like this humble and harmony Malaysia 🇲🇾 ??
"Harmony?" You have policies in place that directly benefit a specific ethnicity. You have an ethnostate that gives specific subsidies, and reserves specific spots in educational institutions and public office for the ruling majority ethnicity, whilst actively putting down the rest. What "harmony?"
Just a bitter, racist nation built on the premise of ethnic superiority.
you talk like the whole world wants to move there you people are brainwashed
I wonder what is the purpose of your videos on Malaysia? Well, I hope it does not stop with Malaysia only.. I would like to see your videos about expats in other South East Asian countries....
Bukan buat video untuk kita. Untuk business people to come and invest in Malaysia.
Video ni tidak bersifat buruk. Ia cuma menceritakan hakikat di pihak dia. So, tak salah pun tujuan video ni
100% true. Salary scale need to be review and increase as to expand Purchasing Power Parity. PR should be inclusive as to ensure Top Talents are here to stay. Without expert n intelligence people, Msia will suffer in progression. Losing out to its Asean neighbours who are ferociously scouting for Top Talent.
Nak jadi warganegara Malaysia kena tengok juga apa yang anda dapat beri pada negara Malaysia
Main bila confirm boleh jadi warganegara
Gomen bukan jaga rakyat pun...evil, bathil, jahat
$$$ talk.
Bagi sana, bagi sini....berlambak yg dpt kerakyatan.
Actually .. tbh.. even foreigners married to Malaysian also.. they rely on Malaysian spouse to take loan. Pity foreigners actually in MY. If our gov is smart, they should welcome foreigners to work/ stay/ invest/ get PR then they invest even more. Then we also can grow. no benefit as spouse .. or no benefit even after u stay in MY >10yrs.
@@renaw.m6042
Can not take in any more foreigners to be Malaysian because why hah our people already crowded Maa .
No more place to stay already .
Foreigners come buy our land cheap cheap and we suffer more the price rocket high .
No lah, we no need expert, we just need some Bangladeshi workers that work 10 over years without asking for citizenship and back to their hometown once a year.
Import the 3rd world become the 3rd world
Be Indonesian first then come illegally to Malaysia then Malaysian government will grant you PR or citizenship. Don't believe me? Go to the national school you will see thousands of Indon kids with Malaysian ic schooling there.
Guys daripada bagi Indon dapat PR. Lepatu bawak masuk suku sakat dia dalam Malaysia yg takda permit sah. Baik bagi orang macam dia ni. Atleast bila dah jadi kerakyatan dia cuba naikkan nama Malaysia. Bangga dengan Malaysia. Daripada jenis2 ic merah ikut jalan tikus dapat ic biru ni.
@bench9967...betul betul betul...
because Malaysia is among the top spot for human trafficking. that's why the government is very strict about giving out citizenship. you still get a lot of benefits from PR (permanent resident) status.
Foreigner do not share the same view as Malaysians regarding constitutional monarchy and Islam as it federal religion.
That is the main reason.
She is just stating her opinion. She did not belittle religion or the people here. But few commenters straight up tell her to marry Malaysian or convert or fly to HK? We could have been more polite in explaining, I thought “Budi bahasa budaya kita”. Some comment sounded so salty it’s embarrassing.
if there are so many foreigners got Malaysian citizenship, I bet we became the 2nd America yikes
Yess...it is not easy to become a citizen....its previlege....
Its the same to many countries these days...😊
its PLENTY FROM INDIA!...MOST OF THEM NO1 MAKE PROBLEMS MALAYSIA!...that the reason why difficult u cant get "PR"
We only give pr and citizenship to refugee from Rohingya, illegal worker from indonesian and Filipino..😅
Last time I checked,. Lot of malaysians wanna move out abroad as they were 'suffering' in this country.
well... I'm sure you know where the airport is.. and you can get ticket to HongKong, online.. good luck with your PR application in HongKong 👋👋
Becoz of immigrants from Indonesia, Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar . It's quite easy in late 80s/ 90s
Malaysia keep your laws very strict. Love it. Keep making it a privilege. Don't give it to anybody. They need to earn it. 100
Worked in Malaysia for 26 years. Soon my status will be no different from a visiting backpacker.
What are you talking about lady. Of course it is a privilege to be a citizen here. Taxes have to paid as you are using the infrastructures. As an expat your salary is high. Haish...
Wish the USA did this . We let people illegally come into the country. Tax payers will have to support them , then the government will make them citizens and tax payers will still have to support them.
Salary is low yes it's true, but u still can survive here the value of usd10 u can get breakfast lunch tea time dinner or u can leave malaysia as well work n live in other countries that can pay u More 🙂
If salary is high, then everything would be expensive. Food, services etc
Every country have policies to follow because valid reason for the security of the country, if you dont like or prefer Hongkong then leave and go to Hongkong,
for such open people you malays in the comments sure look nationalistic, collectivist and defensive to me
You married to Malaysian, so not big problem. If not, i don't think it's worth it.
Still working class they are, try in your country the same you asking here... It be a dream, a dream very far
Good. Malaysia should stay that way. PR and citizenship shouldn't be éasy.
This video will make everyone in the world know about Malaysia and experience themselves. Malaysia is One Piece. 💖🇲🇾
Too many foreigner want to become citizen. We don't want to end up like spore
low salary, atleast you got job easily and high salary than the local...hmmm..
U need to react like Malaysians to get it.. or marry one 😅😅
Even children of Malaysian mothers born here are not given citizenship automatically.
If U got a problem how Malaysia do with citizenship don't blame us, blame the British/colonizer. They the reason Malaysia citizenship is hard to get.
During that time, the colonizer bring many Chinese and Indian (probably other races too) to Tanah Melayu (West Malaysia). Bcs of that, many Malay either lost their job or work at a rice field.
At the end, Malay do not dislike people become Malaysian. Just pls give Malay some room to work in other field beside rice field.
Why would it be easy? It's just another plus for Malaysia
Also.. this woman is beautiful, does she model or is a celebrity there?
Mostly expat received higher salary.....it is normal malaysian work in singapore and australia uk usa and arabs......same goes to indonesian bangladeshi pakistani chinese and indian come to work here in malaysia
I heard it's pretty easy to get citizenship in Ukraine...
Since Malaysia is so cheap, expat can save money a lot. PR or not money s an important factor if people suddenly decide to move elsewhere.
you can ask the Pakistani how do they got their Malaysian citizenship
as an international student here,what is real? the real thing is I am paying 100K for an undergraduate degree in medical college and then got a 2k monthly salary after you graduate from that in Malaysia. you know what, I found the same job from other countries with 20k monthly payment, why foreigners will love to stay in this country for nothing? and we still need to pay thousands of ringgit for visa and buy the car for a job to feed ourselves with experienced healthcare services and high inflation rate. omg, after 10 years , I am still a foreigner . So , please tell me , what are you looking for in this country as a foreigner? Free ? Water? be a human being with nothing?
U have a choice 😅
@physiotherapist...good for you to leave...Rm100k for your course is USD 23K...a very small price to pay indeed.BTW an intern getsRm4500 monthly.As a GP of 5 years ...Rm8000 monthly at least...for locals It's not bad.Of course we'll not miss you at all for this world is quite well bedecked with choices !
Japan way more difficult😅
Malaysian is like that, you must be born there to get PR easily.
It would be better to go elsewhere like Singapore.
Expat complaining about low pay 👏
I see all your videos it's like you hate malaysia 🤔
Malaysia
U must be muslim is priority
We are Malaysian... if we follow the rules. Even some are not following & shame on us as Malaysian
She is absolutely right
You are right about low salaries.. That why our talent worker leave and go other countries. But i am still saw a lot of korean adn japanese lived in malaysia especially KL and peneng.
That's because they earning high salaries here.
There r better places than this msia
Malaysia appreciates blue collared workers from other countries... They encouraged overstayers even.. But a professional expat.. A no no..the reason.. Maybe the government including government servants are worried that the expats will outsmart the locals. The funny thing is, we've already seen the imported blue collared workers are already ahead of the locals.. They run businesses (openly illegal) but this is not a problem.. 🤦🏼 It's a strange system and attitude of Malaysia gov/gov servants
I am friend with many expats living in malaysia, their salary is more than what they earned in their country... and they live like a king. Well, if you are are here from the first world country doing the third world country job then it is a different story. We have a program in malaysia call malaysia is a second home... which you can buy a house for certain amount and make malaysia your second home. Not a problem at all. You just need money to be able to do that.
😂. Dream on @ #MALAYSIA !!!!! 😅.
"As open as Malaysia is" sry what
Please educate yourself
This was good information to share thank you
A lot of Malaysians on here seem to have all kinds of justifications for why their country makes PR and citizenship hard. There is no real justification and the only conclusion to draw is Malaysians want their ethnic makeup to remain the same. It would be nice to be honest like the Japanese.
There might be a conspiracy theory that neighbouring Singapore may be looking to do the same too. While its gov't has long stressed the importance of remaining open to talent, with almost 40% of its population not citizens, ~60% of the 40% are blue-collar migrant worker short-term Work Permit holders with some similarities with the kafala system e.g. usually no marriage or pregnancy. & I've heard that Malaysian & Chinese can apply for PR & citizenship the most easily e.g. within 1/2 yr for PR, while I've also heard of other nationalities yet to get PR even after working in Singapore for 10 yrs. (Chinese are the ethnic majority & also have the lowest birth rate) The probablilty of getting citizenship is probably higher though if you serve conscription, & if you are born locally to migrants (especially if they later manage to get citizenship too)
We all pay taxes until we die.
You're cute.
the policy is crystal clear ...citizenship is a privilege, not a right. We do welcome foreigners to visit or work and pay tax in our country BUT that doesn't give you a right for a citizenship.
your tax @ money can't buy everything. it is indeed should be a privilege not been given for free just because you pay the tax. Your tax been deduct because you are already used all the infrastructure and facilities that being given to any Malaysian citizen. Malaysia is not a big country, if citizenship being given so easy to foreigner how many expat will flock Malaysia? Of cause we will protect our citizen first. Even children born out of Malaysia as half Malaysian, will not get the citizenship easily .
Moral: money can't buy everything... if you value Malaysia law by how many years you work here and pay tax, that's when you really not understand the aspirations of Malaysian. first... don't ask the country what they can give you, ask yourself what you can contribute for the country minus the tax (malaysian also pay the tax)
Not here, try Spore
Indeed. As a Malaysian, I agree with this lady. Foreigners or expatriates in Malaysia need to know this from the start if they really want to have a long term live in Malaysia. It’s not really a big issue here, unless one who easily felt insecure or needed rights wherever they go😊
hardest is better. to many immigrant here. avoid human population take over green tree and forest. avoid green house effect. and yeah the food here are very delicious, saving money is kind of sometime not make sense. even goldon remsey food taste normal here, atleast he use better quality recipe. cheap also can be better hayyahhh
It is difficult to be legally becoming a Malaysian citizen or pr but it is easier to become a citizen or pr illegally. You could ask millions of people fr China and Indonesia who have been here for decades...
To be citizenship bukan mcm bg medal kt sekolah..so sy rasa utk query Hal big issue tu tk perlu la kot..itu Hak setiap negara
One of the main reasons it's difficult to obtain citizenship or PR in Malaysia due to lacks of self confidence to be part of Malaysia . Love Malaysia as Malaysians . talk thinking behave as Malaysian . Exactly the same scenario and criteria applied to be Singaporeans .
Just be good at football ..
Low salaries? Nah, our minister can own million of money leh... ''Eat bribe'' 😂
She has a different benchmark, what she thinks is worse for her not necessarily the worst for others
yeah..anyway so many foreigners especially indonesians got PR status after they kept living n living long time..hope the govt would consider to grant PR 4 other nationals..forget indonesians..mostly petty traders n labourers. Terrorist? non issue at all about terrorist.
Listen to her interview in its entirety, especially on the PR application. I have heard of cases where application was still stalled after 20 years. There must be some set of guidelines and laws to follow, and the authorities should stick to it instead of throwing up roadblocks as and when they like it. We need to be more conscious about our rights and the laws of the land.
I was told you can become a citizen for RM 250,000 in the gray market. 😅
I'm singaporean and i never tot of becaming a citizen of malaysia and this short video made me realise its a privilege and hard to get .. oic
In 1990s some expatriates got paid more than rm100k permonth in private sector in Malaysia that is not cheap compare to graduate malaysians at that time received only rm1k per month...talking from experience...
You says the truth!
same as other develop countries 🤷🏻♀️
Oh please ! This is the right definition of *dah bagi betis... Nak paha* 🙄
Yes , salary is very low. Malaysian average salary increment is less than 4%. The Boss said it is high already.
Yes is true Malaysia is good not bad.
As u rightly pointed, its a privilege. Got to earn it and be part of the culture. Just imagine one someone freely come to your home asking for daughter’s hand, without spending time knowing her etc. be patient, you will definitely get it. And yeah, we don’t give dual citizenship. Either be Malaysian or remain with what u have 👌
