Hi..

Before going for P.R you need to apply for a Spass first.
If you have an education and have been working here for a few
years i see no reason MOM will reject your Spass application.

After two years as a Spass holder then you can try to apply for P.R
It took my Malaysian friend three time applying and finally he got it last month.

Best of Luck for the Spass
