actually?
are citizens of other countries living in malaysia
by four categories which is:
1. Family class (closely related persons of
Malaysian residents living in Malaysia)
2. Economic immigrants (skilled workers and
business people)

humanitarian or compassionate reasons
4. Refugees (people who are escaping
persecution, torture or cruel and unusual
