Hello,
I'm Malaysian and my husband is French. Our son's birth certificate (he was born in Hungary) states that he is French, and he has a French passport.
I've been in touch with the Malaysian embassy here, and according to them, I can now apply for Malaysian citizenship. Does this translate into a Malaysian passport, or simply some kind of PR/right of abode in Malaysia since the child's mother is Malaysian?
Since the rules have changed as of 1 June 2010 (before this a Malaysian woman abroad did NOT have the right to give her child citizenship; the child had to take his father's), the embassy is uncertain about the outcome.
Can anyone who has gone through the process shed some light on this?
Cheers,
Sze
