Hey,

Dunno about BB as i have always avoided them, but for the data plan on your mobile phone via Maxis you can get unlimited for 120RM a month, and same goes for BB I think. I used Maxis plan back then, and it was quite good. As for pre paid, it might be a killer, when I put my prepaid Maxis card on my Iphone when visiting Malaysia, it dries out my credit in no time.

As for the USB dongle, i have tried Celcom prepaid. And will not ever try it again! It was really really shitty to say the least. Cumbersome software, never getting 3G connection (forget about HSPDA...). I am yet to try P1 Wimax, but it seems wayyyy better. Of course that is if you are in KL. The yhave now prepaid plans:

199RM for the modem + $G of data looks pretty good to me.

From my experience it takes up to 10 working days to complete phase 1 which is only the approval of your request, then it will take another 10 to 14 days to finish phase 2. After this you have your working permit.

Personally I think it's ridiculous that you have to pay process fee, the hospital should do this, they need you right?

Not sure if he will work withing a special agreement or something but a foreigner should earn at least a 5000RM if I'm not mistaken. Maybe someone else can confirm this.

Buying in KL?

I am not an expert, but as I understand it the RM500,000 minimum applies to all foreigners purchasing property in their own name or foreign companies purchasing property.

The RM500k limit was already in place for MM2H for a long time. It has onlt just (1 Jan 2010) been introduced for any foreigner. I guess it also applies to foreigners with a work visa but that is nothing more than a guess - you should get advice from a lawyer. Perhaps there are more lenient limits for people with a work visa.

If you don't know a lawyer, I've used a legal firm in KL named Tee Tek Yek and been pleased with their work. Tel 03 4041 2297 Address: Suite DG 6 & 7, Ground Floor, Plaza Pekeliling, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, 50400.

Please come back to the forum to post any useful findings as I'd like to know what you discover and I'm sure it would help other people too!
