BBCW, yes of course it tolerates....sometimes they have toBBCWatcher wrote:Siv, that's not correct as you've wrote it. Malaysia tolerates dual citizenship among children/babies, in many cases at least. There are multiple references to that fact among Malaysian High Commissions elsewhere. It's not a general problem under current Malaysian citizenship law (which has changed very recently).
Singapore appears to be a special case. And I'm not quite sure why, actually, since I haven't yet been able to find adequate, current legal foundation for the reported practices of the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore. That doesn't mean that legal foundation doesn't exist. I just haven't found it yet.
One solution appears to be birth in Malaysia, across the causeway. (And no, don't try to cross the border while in labor. Take maternity leave, cross the border at the start of leave, then go into labor in due time.) It appears that Singapore has no problem with that (Singaporean mother, birth abroad, registration with Singapore). Malaysia is often rather fussy that the marriage must be registered with Malaysia before the birth of the child, so just make sure that's done.

Conclusion, am i right to say that after delivery my kids then
1. Go to register as Singaporean
2. Go High COmmision Malaysia and register as Malaysian?
3. Kids can decide to be Singaporean or Malaysian when 21 year old?

Big question mark on 2.
No idea on 3. Could be irrelevant anyway if fail 2.
Anyway, if the purpose of you having your child keep dual citizenship is just for the 2 years of being taken care of by grandparents in Malaysia, then I would not sweat it. Surely there is a way to get around that, without having to deal with the whole citizenship matter.
Again on no 2, it's really simple. You would need to show the hospital letter, marriage certificate and your IC. That's 2 out of 3 showing SG information. I'm just assuming here. Not saying you can't, just saying you have to be prepared if it doesn't pan out for you.
If it works out for you, then great. I stand corrected and we all learn something new
Good luck man.
In Boleh land, that kind of reply can be taken humorously or, depending on the victim - hand cuffed and thrown into jail.BBCWatcher wrote: On the off chance somebody asks "Where's the stamp?" then a truthful answer would be "Nobody stamped my passport." Dumb (and truthful) answer, but it's a dumb question.

Exactly! That's very common and getting more common. Stamps are rapidly becoming passé. So have you been (a) asked about your missing stamp by some other country, then (b) been thrown in prison in that other country for answering truthfully?Ps, there are times MY immigration scans Malaysian passports without stamping and other times, they do stamp. Not sure what's their rationale.
