Even The Netherlands is limiting the possible reasons one can have dual nationality but in my case, I can still get la;) It is true that Malaysia does not allow it. Initially, I said NEVER! I will never give up my Malaysian nationality but precisely because one cannot have 2 passports, I might have no choice but to apply for a Dutch passport. The reason is, it's just so much easier to travel (esp business trips), I can live anywhere in the EU and so that I can have a say (vote). It makes sense since I do live here now but it's not something I am ready to do just yet as I do not speak Dutch fluently (therefore personally feel like I can consider myself 'Dutch') and because I can never get the Malaysian passport back. I mean, say la..what if I get divorced in the future and want to go back to Malaysia to take care of my parents?
