We'll see.<br /><br />nicoletta: Oh, I didn't know about how the children of Malaysian women with non-Malaysians are considered aliens. This is far worse than the surname thing. So, what citizenship is Julian eligible for?<br /><br />shanaz@RS: Thanks. I'm surprised not more people are saying these things. And no, I didn't know about the Malay clause. Also, I heard that it doesn't matter what race the mother belongs to - the kid's official race will be the dad's.k0k s3n w4ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564727389837796019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246194140200675056.post-54325576085737631442013-05-10T01:50:55.289+08:002013-05-10T01:50:55.289+08:00You're awesome for writing this because this s...You're awesome for writing this because this stuff has just got to be said and you said it brilliantly. <br /><br />Oh btw, did you know that if only one of the parents is Malay (doesn't matter if it's the mother or father), the child will automatically be Malay. In this case, the gender seems to simply not matter lah!

Apparently in order for a child born overseas to be considered Malaysian, the father has to be Malaysian. The mother can be any bloody nationality and the child would still be Malaysian. It doesn't work the other way round, as I learnt. <br /><br />ACK WHAT JUSTICE IS THIS.<br /><br />And that's such a wonderful thing, letting your son take his mother's name :)<br />nicolettanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246194140200675056.post-10940736240265312592013-05-05T09:56:39.894+08:002013-05-05T09:56:39.894+08:00When you quoted the passage in the law, it does ap...When you quoted the passage in the law, it does appear to be flexible.
