..at least for now, he can breathe another sigh of relief...:cool:

He deserve to get it thou. I hope he will soon or latter couching his origin country.

did he even apply for PR? i didnt know you can get PR if you don't even apply.

did he even apply for PR? i didnt know you can get PR if you don't even apply.

haha..i guess this is kinda way to 'force' him to stay with BAM...:D

haha..i guess this is kinda way to 'force' him to stay with BAM...:D

this just goes on to show how much politics is involved in BAM. im sure someone on the board knew someone in this other place and said some stuff and the guy processed it right away. a sri lankan or bangladeshi worker who has 3 young kids who need food and clothing, struggling to find work in his home country applies for PR in malaysia but it's been 2years now but it is still being 'processed'.

Well at least Rexy's position in Malaysia is sort of assured for now.

haha..i guess this is kinda way to 'force' him to stay with BAM...:D

Which means that it is even harder for PBSI to entice him back. Rexy has a reason to stay longer in Malaysia now and if his charges perform above expectations, he can say bye bye to Indonesia, at least for some time to come.

So INA has to do something much better if they want Rexy back! :D;):rolleyes:

Even PBSI has been consistently lure Rexy back.. but Rexy remained firm that he wants to stay in Malaysia.

that's so malaysian...did Rexy ask for PR in the first place?

anyway, glad that Rexy chooses Malaysia.

He finaly get his PR status..I heard tat he will continue his contract for 2 years wif BAM..

yup.. he renewed his contract not long ago around the SC tat time..
besides MAS PR he also got Bristish PR

Just curious...did malaysia give away the PR or rexy request for it?

i think is malaysia give away the PR.. not sure though..

Many countries do confer honorary citizenship or permanent residence status to people who are deemed to have made valuable contributions in sports, business, education, etc., etc. As a matter of fact Singapore just conferred an honorary citizenship award to the outgoing chairman of Exxon for his contribtion to Singapore business.
If Rexy is given or awarded PR status this is a greater honour than getting it through the normal immigration application procedure. I don't think it is fair to compare Rexy's case with another working immigrant's case, because honorary prs or citizenships are awarded for valuable services of national importance. It is like a spike in evolution when you get a new positive gene that kickstarts your tribe's evolutionery journey. This is much better than to have a recessive gene that sets into your tribe's gene pool and takes you backwards.

PR does not prevent Rexy from leaving. As long as his wife wants to stay in Malaysia Rexy will continue to comply even his contract expires.

Rexy, Family Get Malaysian PR Status

PUTRAJAYA, July 27 (Bernama) -- National badminton doubles coach Rexy Mainaky, who almost single-handedly resurrected the supremacy of the country's doubles pairs in the international arena, and his family members were Friday given the Malaysian permanent resident (PR) status by the government.

The 39-year-old Indonesian, who was once World Badminton doubles champions with Ricky Subagja, two years ago started coaching the Malaysian doubles pairs who went on to win numerous titles in the world of badminton.

He received his MyPR card from Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad in a simple ceremony here. Present was Badminton Association of Malaysia president Datuk Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.

Rexy told reporters later that the PR status came as a "surprise" and that he was indebted to the nation.

"I had at one stage denied Malaysia from winning the men's doubles title at the Olympics but now my target is to ensure Malaysia wins the title. We would start by winning the World Championships (to be held in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 13-19)," he said.

In 1996, Rexy and Ricky won the men's doubles title for Indonesia after defeating the Malaysian pair of Cheah Soon Kit and Yap Kim Hock, who is now the national chief coach, at the Atlanta Olympics.

Rexy moved into the coaching arena upon retiring and is now considered a hot property for coaching doubles teams after he was able to prove time and again that he could turn mediocre national players into world beaters.

On the upcoming World Championships, he said Malaysian doubles teams stood a good chance of bagging the title provided they were not hampered by injury woes.

Meanwhile, Nadzmi said he was confident that Rexy would be able to take the national men's doubles teams to greater heights, especially after obtaining the PR status.

"What we want now is the support from the fans. Since the World Championships are being held here, it would be good if we have our own supporters to cheer our boys.

"We've never been champions so far in this tournament and I hope this time around we would win the doubles title," he added.

Just curious...did malaysia give away the PR or rexy request for it?
It was Rexy who request Malaysia PR in Mac after bring KKK/TBH to their glory in All England ..here the full news from Berita Harian (http://www.bharian.com.my/m/BHarian/Saturday/Sukan/20070728002001/Article/Sport_html)

PR does not prevent Rexy from leaving. As long as his wife wants to stay in Malaysia Rexy will continue to comply even his contract expires.
Agreed with u .. He is a family man.. However i am really wondering how long he will remained here withe the MAS team. He already gained a PR status in Egnland but he quit the Eng Team eventually after receiving the offers frm MAS.
I wont be surprise he will quit MAS team any time even he is the PR there

haha... maybe to places like scotland, italy or france??? bringin up the game there>??? :D

its more convenient for him n his family with Malaysia PR status ... plus if he decides to stay and develope the mix double for malaysia to the standard of world class (which he has done before) ... we have more hopes for more golds n trophies .... isnt it a good thing for malaysia ???? i think its a great step !

Yup, Rexy apply for the PR status, and he was surprised to get it in less than 2 years as it normally takes 10 years.

It depends on the special skills of the applicant and the need of the country for those skills.

Rexy is a happy man. :)

He will be happier if any of the Malaysian doubles win the WC. =)

yup.. he renewed his contract not long ago around the SC tat time..
besides MAS PR he also got Bristish PRdoes rexy has INA citizenship too? if so that would make him a tri-citizen :p

does rexy has INA citizenship too? if so that would make him a tri-citizen :p

you are funny :p..

rexy still holds indonesia passport :D

you question should be : does mas government give rexy a citizenship too ? :rolleyes: :p

this awarded will give rexy a pressure..
if he fail... .. go back to ina lah.... :D

Regarding Rexy's new status, i thought it's just a Malaysian PR?? Similar to green card in the U.S. or Canada?? If so, then he's not a citizen of M'sia, yet.;)
As far as his status with England, the last time i chatted with Rexy, he told me he & his family have a British citizenship...or maybe not??..:confused:
As far as his Indonesian status goes, as far as i know, he should still hold his Indonesian passport..not sure abt his wife & children, though..:confused:

But, check this out:
Indonesian law prohibits anyone from having dual or multiple citizenships. If one is caught holding dual or multiple citizenships, s/he must relinquish his/her Indonesian passport. And in most cases, the authority will only check the status is one wants to extend his/her Indonesian passport. If i remember, in the renewal application form, it'll ask whether "You have applied or become a citizen of such and such country". And the only way a person can extend his/her Indonesian passport, eventhough s/he is a citizen of another country, is to lie/not tell the truth. This is true, at least for U.S. But then, of course, we are talking abt Indonesia here..:p
Now, if he & his family still hold the Indonesian and British citizenships, i don't know what type of special compromise was given..:confused:..If i have a chance to chat with Rexy again, i will ask him briefly abt this..:p
*I think this law is similar to China (and another country, which i forgot) as well, as they don't allow dual/multi-citizenships(correct me if i'm wrong)..Entering those countries, will require visa(additional fee)..:p

Most countries, including the US, do not allow their citizens to hold multiple citizenships, except for England, Australia, NZ and a few others. However, there is nothing in any country to prohibit one from having multiple PR status of various countries but keeping only one citizenship. As a matter of fact it is better to have PR status, except when you want to be the PM or President of that country, as it gives you the flexibility of the rights and benefits of more than one country.

Successful application of PR status and fast tracking occurs in other countries such as Australia (as one example). It depends on the special skills of the applicant and the need of the country for those skills.

i am pretty sure someone threw some words around here and there for him to get his application approved so fast. it is not surprising if that is true.

does rexy has INA citizenship too? if so that would make him a tri-citizen :p

he is still the citizen of indonesia.. for both british n malaysia, he jz hold the PR status.. PR is not same as citizen as they may not have some special rights that hold by the citizen

chris, not only indonesia, malaysia also prohibited his citizen from owning dual citizenship ;) i think what rexy mean is tat he own the PR n not citizenship :cool:

So malaysians,he is not our people.He works 4 our country and thats all.

..(i forgot to mention)taneepak, the U.S. DOES ALLOW dual citizenship and it is perfectly legal, though it is not encouraged in case some problems arise from it..See reference below:
http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/dual_citizenship.html
http://www.newcitizen.us/dual.html
http://www.richw.org/dualcit/
As a matter of fact, here's a link showing a list of countries which allow and prohibit dual or multi-citizenships(not sure how updated it is); quite a few to my surprise;):

..yes, thanks for confirming that, winnie..So, in that case, i think Rexy might've said he has a British PR instead of British citizenship..will confirm, if i have a chance..;):cool:

so can rexy buy and own real estate in MAL or he just a 'permanent tenant' ?:D

Many non-PRs and non-citizens do own real estate in Malaysia. I am not sure , but at one time there was a certain monetary limit or that freehold land was excluded.

..of the Mainaky family, upon receiving their M'sian PR..:cool:

No need the title, no use. Money is more important.

Off topic :
Foo Kok Keong though lives a very down to earth lifestyle. The Star interviewed him a month or 2 ago. Other than being ambassador for Fusion Excel, he's just like any other uncles. Too bad he didnt want to be coach(that's what I heard).

Anyway, Rexy got his PR status which is easier for him & family to live in Msia. And he reportedly said very happy to stay in Msia.

Rexy's statement over his life in malaysia is actually goes straight to my heart.It is nice,isnt it?He could be hypocrite or anything he wants to be.
But i feel great about his statement.

And Foo Kok Keong,we seems rarely talking about him recently.

It took Han Jian 8 application, 10years to get a PR.

Why Rexy can get 1 application, 2 years to get?

Han Jian Help msia win the thomas cup 1992...

he got his PR after he go public about the failed 7times... If not he will still fail.

Double standard for China & Indonesia?

Thats True... my staff who is a Chinese from China but married to a Malaysia is still not a PR. She needs to apply for some special VISA and still trying to apply for PR. And she has been staying in Malaysia for many years. I jokingly told her the other day to convert and she might get the PR faster. No offence for the Muslims or Malays here. But that is just how the system works at the moment.
I've heard from some people that there are alot of non-skilled worker from other Muslim country get their PR much faster and easier than those who are skilled workers who are from China and other non muslim country. And that is very sad.

Try this: convert to muslim, get your PR, and convert back to whoever you are.

you are not allowed to convert, under the Syariah Law, to other religions if you are a Muslim (in Malaysia).

from what i know, men from other country who married malaysian woman more easier to get PR compare than woman from other country who married malaysian man. so, that why your staff not get her PR yet.:cool::)

you are not allowed to convert, under the Syariah Law, to other religions if you are a Muslim (in Malaysia).

Didnt really understand the Syariah law. But i known some of my friends who is Muslim before but converted into other Religion in Malaysia.

Hmmm anyway i think we are out of topic.

Probably so.... but still its a long process.

Han Jian is Chinese whereas Rexy is Malay....:D:D

No lah, Rexy is NOT "malay" in the race sense, and he's not Muslim. So one doesnt need to be Muslim, but Rexy does come from Muslim country.

Pity Han Jian also, the top guns in those days maybe not baddy fan, dunno he's "the" Han Jian that helped win TC 1992.:D The immigration top gun said they gave Rexy the PR as appreciation & so he wouldnt run off to some other country to coach, must be baddy fan this top gun.

haiya, now we are talking about syariah law and races ar??:D:D

It is two-sides story.And u have to listen to both.
I didnt know that to get a pr status,ur religion is also count.Is that the system here?

haiya, now we are talking about syariah law and races ar??:D:D
hmm..sub topic.But,i think we have to gradually remove those issues.It is related to the main topic.make sense they are here.But do not talk about it totally.Beware of the limit
