Lets discuss.

If you're married to a Malaysian already then I'd go for the LTSVP (they can add a work permit to it easily enough after six months or in my case I already had a work permit so they did so right away). The first LTSVP was for 3 or 6 months, next one for a year and my current LTSVP is good for 5 years. Thus for 5 years I can not worry about renewing either my work permit or visa.

Added - I wouldn't get married however just to get a LTSVP, I love living in Malaysia but the primary reason I'm living here is that I'm married to a Malaysian.

it may be beneficial to be under LTSVP but the process of obtaining the pass itself take ages.

The documentation is too many and tedious. My preference is an Employment Pass as the company will apply pass for me which is more easier.
