Australian Citizenship

Michael and his kids will be attending the Citizenship ceremony today. After all, they are no longer Malaysian but Aussie! Of course, hubby and I are honored to be the guests for this special occasion.

After the ceremony, we're served with sumptuous refreshment ~ Puffs, bacon, salami, cheese, sandwiches and dim sim! It's super yummy...

Last but not least, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Michael and his children. He has been anxiously waiting for this day long time ago. Finally, he made it! A big applause to 3 of them. ;)


FYI, to be an Australian:
a) Sit for a test of 20 multiples questions and pass at a min of 60% (based on a booklet ~ Becoming an Australian Citizen)
b) 2 years Australian PR.
c) Good character - No crime records!



On or after 1st Jul 2008 Australian PR (just like hubby and I):
a) Sit for a test of 20 multiples question and pass at a min of 75% (based on a new booklet ~ Australian Citizenship Our Common Bond)
b) 4 years Australian PR. 
c) Good character.






P/S: I am holding the two books. BTW, you can get the book FOC [either through online or by calling the office]
