Children born abroad to Malaysian mothers qualify for citizenship

Kim sent me the link to this article and I'm very grateful she did that.

You can read the full text here.

A little background from this topic could be found in one of my posts here.

I hope this is for real and Aelig could automatically quality as a Malaysian soon. She will most likely need to choose between being a French or Malaysian when she reaches 18 years old as Malaysia doesn't recognise double citizenship. However, seeing how serious the brain drain phenomena Malaysia is facing, I wouldn't be surprise if one day the government starts granting double citizenship to overseas Malaysians.

  1. I hope one day S'pore allow its citizen to hold double citizenship.

    I'm so happy for you. U can easily get it done including Passport via Malaysian embassy once the law has changed to make it possible. We did V's citizenship via S'pore embassy in Paris. However u need to get lots of things translated I think. For the birth certificate, u can just ask it from the government dept. It can be printed in multilanguage for free.

  3. Hi Cass Goh,

    If the French manages to find a job in Malaysia, his employer can apply for a work permit for him and it would be an easier process. If you want, I can direct you to someone who had been working in Malaysia.

    Thanks
