PETALING JAYA: Either renounce or risk revocation as there is no other way out for dual citizenship holders. “Dual citizenship holders need not pay any penalty for failing to renounce their Malaysian citizenship. It is an individual’s personal responsibility to renounce their Malaysian citizenship after obtaining citizenship in another country,” said a department official. To another question, the official said it did not have a special data bank on Malaysians holding dual citizenship. He said the department welcomed feedback from those with information on dual citizenship holders.
