MY SECOND HOME - BY MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS
Boasting of our performance is the Politicians way of signing checks which the body can't pay. Today onwards, we will conduct the various performance of our system, each governmental departments performance and how we analyze the performance in comparison with the Bland talk of politicians.

I am a foreigner married to a Malaysian professional and I applied for PR status about three years agoI am still awaiting a reply. Even the Indonesian cleaners who used to clean my house possess citizenship although they have not been here long. I come from a country with first-world status and I possess a first degree from a university of world-class standing. I also hold a post-graduate degree from a developed nation. I have two lovely boys who attend the local government school. I have resided in this country for 13 years and have contributed much to the nation in terms of professional development and work. It is incomprehensible why it has to take years before I get a reply from the department as in my home country, foreigners are assured of a reply within six months. Each time I checked with the department, I am given the usual answer of “still processing.” Isn’t it the least that the department can do for foreigners who have settled comfortably in this country and are committed to doing their best for the country?
But how is it that foreigners from certain countries are granted PR status and citizenship easily without having to go through the agony of waiting endlessly. Even if such selection may be part of the Government’s planning, perhaps it is time to look at the alarming rate of crime. More than half of so-called petty crimes have been committed by migrant workers rather than those who are professionally qualified. However, my concern is over the selective granting of PR status to foreigners and the specified time that applicants have to wait before they receive a reply.
QUESTION: PLEASE MEASURE THE PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY & WHAT KEY PERFORMANCE INDEX SET BY THE GOVERNMENT?
On June 25, 2004, Home Affair Minister, Datuk Azmi Khalid announced that the Government had relaxed conditions for foreign citizen wishing to join the "Malaysia - My Second Home" programme. How is it that a foreign spouse who had been working here for the last 13 years is unable to get the PR Status? Are we all nuts being unable to understand your initiative announced as above?; Over to you, Datuk Azmi Khalid????
