Technically there are 5-6 types of IC in Malaysia and Mykad is just one of them or considered the most common most complete prove of citizenship. haha.

As for British family, they won't be eligible to apply for a Mykad unless one of the parent to the child is a Mykad holder. Let's say, your kid wants to apply and your wife is a Mykad holder then your kid might be eligible for Mykad if you and your wife is registered here as marriage couple.

Other than that you have to stay here for at least 5 years to get MyPR and after obtaining MyPR another 5-10 years to eligible for Mykad.

To not wait for so long and get instant resident status. You can apply for MM2H kad.

Correction: 5 years to be eligible to APPLY for PR

Another 2-10 years to get PR (varies on your local immigration "mood"

Then another 10 years to infinite (again varies with your local immigration "mood") to get citizenship

There have been several cases getting their citizenship on death bed, those are the "lucky" ones

Maybe I am abit ignorant but can I know what is the advantage of having a PR or citizenship in malaysia? Why is it so important?

a) to stay here, leave & enter whenever you want
b) to be eligible for epf
c) to vote
d) to get free medical at govt hospital
e) to get local rates for education
f) to get a JOB

List just getting started. I have foreign spouse so I learned the hard way how this works. These things which seem trivial to you can mean everything to someone with out either of those cards
