FOREINERS MARRYING LOCALS JUST TO GET PR STATUS?

Marrying to get PR status

2011/03/19 KANGAR: Men from developing countries are marrying Malaysian women in southern Thailand every year.

It is believed that some of the marriages are just for getting Malaysian permanent residence (PR).

Songkhla's Klongget district marriage registrar Shafie Kayem Manaf said many of the women fell for the "charm and good looks" of the foreigners, especially Pakistanis.

Pakistanis top the list of those marrying Malaysian women in southern Thailand, with 45 marriages recorded last year.

They were followed by nine Bangladeshis, eight Indian nationals and three Nepalese, whose marriages were also listed by the Malaysian consulate in Songkhla.

Shafie said many Malaysian women failed to realise that they were only being "used" to obtain PR status by these foreigners.

"They are known to be sweet talkers and many Malaysian women fall prey to their promises, especially those in 'Bollywood dream land'.

"Many of them come to the marriage registrar as they need proof of marriage to apply for PR.

"I believe many from Indonesia and Myanmar who marry Malaysian women have the same intention," he said when contacted.

Recently, it was reported that Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Mahmood Adam said PR applicants need not wait for five years to get an approval.

He said they could just go to any National Registration Department office to apply.

The counters would then open a file under their names, regardless of how long they had been married. Applicants could also apply online via the ministry's website.

The report also said although some PR approvals could now be obtained within 24 hours and online renewal of passports was available, the secretary-general assured that there would be no compromise on national security.

Recently, the Malaysian Consul-General in Songkhla, Mohd Aini Atan, revealed that out of 3,260 marriages registered in southern Thailand last year, 782 involved Malaysians.

The highest number was between Malaysians and Thais (419), followed by Indonesians (228), Pakistanis (45), and Filipinas (18).

Malaysians had also registered marriages with foreigners from Cambodia, South Africa, Singapore, France, Nigeria, South Korea, Japan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Denmark, America, Iran, United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan.
