Hi,

I have a friend who is 50yo. She has an old red M'sian IC; not MyKad. Her father is a red IC holder too. Her mother is a Singaporean citizen. She has gained a HK passport and has been living abroad for the past 20 years but now wants to return to Malaysia. Is she eligible to apply for Permanent Residence? How's the process of applying?

Hope someone can assist me in this. Thank you.

She could apply for MyPR at JPN. Malaysia Permanent Residency doesn't lapse.

Thanks for the reply. Ya this is what I thought too; take the risk to apply to renew her red IC

When she enters Malaysia, she should prove to the immigration officer that she is a Permanent Resident of Malaysia. Once the immigration officer stamps the date of entry on her passport (without a date to leave) it is certain that the database still has her residency record.

It shouldn't be a problem to renew the Red IC at JPN subsequently.

Hi, what was her original nationality prior to obtaining HKSAR passport? Would you mind to share how did she apply for the Permanent Residency back then? I would like to apply PR for my wife.

She is always a M'sian. Born here to a Msian father & Sgporean mother. The father holds a red IC because he's involved with gangsterism. Just like that, JPN gave her a red IC when she turned 12 & changed/destroyed her life

why should she prove to Immigration she's a PR? because her M'sian passport has already expired aeons ago, she'll be using her HK passport to enter.

If she is a MY PR, she will be given indefinite leave to remain on her HK passport. Else, she will only be given 30days social visit Visa.

Appreciate if she could share what actually happened so that the people know how Malaysia immigration function.

From what I heard, during registration for the IC, my friend was accompanied by her Malaysian stepmum and her father's friend (her father didn't go because he held red IC and didn't want to affect the process). The clerk was about to grant her a blue IC, but for reasons unknown, this friend blurted out that her father is a red IC holder. The clerk upon hearing this cancelled the blue IC and gave her a red one. She went home crying sad.gif This is all I know
