Thanks bro for your reply and addition recommendation of Batam. It's very heartening to see you share the countless advice, life experience and hardship encounters which you have gone through. Despite the 10 over years you have resided in Malaysia, it's very sad to see that Malaysia won't even recognize you as a "PR". I really do not understand why between SG and MYR, it's a one way affair. We offer so many jobs and "high paying salary" to Malaysians. They get to work in Singapore and to live and retire like a "king" back in Johor, while we Singaporeans suffer and work till we die in our own home country. I feel sick just thinking about it. it should be mutual beneficial that both countries help each other to live and "let live." There is one thing i don't understand. We apply for LTSVP at "Setia Tropika Block A, #10 "? This is a government place? Isn't there a number i can call to enquire if brothers or sisters qualify? If anyone else has any experience / success with LTSVP, please do share. Thanks guys / WuQi.
