[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 109744, member: 189"] Narayanjot Kaur Ji... Their lives are one constant STRUGGLE. In Malaysia the LAWS of Immigration are very lopsided. IF there is any "divorce" within 5 years of marriage..the Foreigner spouse is DEPORTED immediately and has to take her "Malaysian Citizen" children back with her to her country of origin. IF she manages to stick around for at least 5 years... AND she has a Malaysian CHILD....then she can STAY on a YEARLY Basis VISA renewed every Yera on Year Basis..no "permanency" !! ( No fixed rules are followed by the authorities..some get 1 year some get one month. 6 months..so one huge hassle all their life..as the "officer" on duty the day they go for visa gets to decide..no appeals !!). The YEARLY VISA is just for STAYING..NO WORKING..allowed....unless she applies for a Yearly Work Permit..but then she forgoes the Other Visa and puts herself under the WP Visa rules which allow the WP for 5 years..and after the last one she has to go back....There is a "law" that allows permanent resident status...but there is ahuge BACKLOG..and all applications end up buried in boxes lying somewhere..no light of day...many have been waiting 15 to 20 years !! PR means the person can Stay and WORK - without Visa but he/she retains her ORIGINAL Citizenship...and has to go to her embassy to renew it..so she gets no Social security/Employee provident fund benefits etc..so employers exploit these . So all these poor souls are in "PURGATORY"...bringing up their children single handedly any way they know how and can manage..a few do manage to find a benefactor..a charitable family etc for help...but essentially no ORGANISED EFFORT yet. Their children grow up not knowing when their mum may have to leave them...and IF the hubby is still around ( in jail or lying stoned somewhere in some back alley)..then he and his fmaily CAN THREATEN to SEND MUMMY HOME TO INDIA..wehnever a "dispute" arises..Once on a visit to the local immigration Office to help one such..i came across another "sikh Family" there..husband, his mother and one daughter of about 3...and I distinctly heard the Daughter telling her MUM...Bahlla na bol...tenu des bhejduun...( Dont Talk so much..I will send you back to India !!( This was when the child was naughty and the mother tried to pull her back...i saw clearly that this threat to send mummy back was a common affair..at least in THAT "family"..and MUM in LAW was the HITLER in Charge....obviously strong enough to turn daughter against mother !!). Being far away from her PARENTS and family is a big disadvantage for them...so can be bullied easily. I have personally helped a few of such unfortunate single mums...but there are too many. The Sikh Community has a few Private Punjabi Schools run on weekends...their organisers employ these women as teachers ( because originating from Punjab their Punjabi is "better" than the locals..at the very least they can SPEAK Punjabi even if they never went to school !!..so a small income is generated for them as they get a weekly allowance..others sew clothes..baby sit..do tuition...etc etc for survival). With political upheaval in malaysia happening recently..i hope these women will also get a change in their fortunes....as now even the "minorites" are valuable votes...:yes: [/QUOTE]
