Finally, after umpteens (12x) participation in FIDE-rated classical events, he got his FIDE-rating for the classical game...thanks mainly to his recent performance in the 8th Asian Dragons U-16 tournament in Taiwan where HE got 2points against 5 FIDE-rated Players.
Refer Amir Faiz's FIDE Rating.
Am not really bothered by what his rating is as his game would commensurate with the published ratings. The savings from a reduced entrance fees is the reason for the celebrations. As an example, if I were to register him for the Johor or Penang Open - I'll save RM50 per event.
Having said the above, I was always under the impression that a player needs to have played against at least 10 FIDE-rated players and getting at least 1point before getting a maiden rating. What I don't understand is even though he secured 3points, why is getting a rating after playing against only 9 players? Perhaps, the newly introduced rules have something to do with this.
Hopefully, as a result of this the pairings when HE participate in the 10th Asian Schools C.C. Later this month would be in his favour.

(12) 8th Asian Dragons International Chess Tournament, U-16 Open (TAIWAN)
