Always good to be able to communicate in mutiple languages.

I think it depends on the curricullum. Your school perhaps teaches MY curricullum?

back then we're still SPM but we're only allowed to speak English at school...of course i'd give my hats off to my BM teachers who are very dedicated to show us the versatility of the BM language, that's also how I got interested in reading pantuns and writing karangan

I think it is high time for Malaysia to rethink about dual-citizenship. While I understand the decision of bar dual-citizenship back then, nowadays the world is like a global village. People work everywhere and anywhere. It is better for come people to have a choice of citizenship if that is on the table. Malaysia need to be smart about it. Maybe they can offer something like MM2H benefit and term and regulations. Just my 2 sen.

Good point. I wany my UK citizenship and Malaysian citizenship both. Many countries already do this. But I guess it's a start

The mother was in Germany, study, work married a Chinese German citizen. Can see his picture in Star article

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2023...lly-a-malaysian

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/malays...ysian%20fathers.

In CNA article, mother said her husband quit his job in Germany to come Malaysia join her. She came back to give birth to 2nd kid cos of 1st daughter citizenship problem

As to why never stay in Germany there get citizenship there like what some /k post, she didn't say. Could be language, job opportunity, Covid or just dual citizenship in case divorce.

Nowadays can do online business from anyway in the world. The parents can travel back & forth Germany.

MCA got hope if they get rid of those useless sobs. Bring back calibre people like Ling Liong Sik, Ong tee keat, the late Chua Jui Meng.
