1. If the parents are foreigners but permanent residents (PR) in Malaysia, then the child would carry the status of citizen of Malaysia. Right? IF THE CHILD BORN IN MALAYSIA.

2. This child after getting Malaysian Passport; can he/she hold another passport according to his parents country (that country allows dual citizenship). Does Malaysia govt allow to hold 2 passports?
Someone says till 18 yrs old, the child can hold 2 passports, right?

3. If the parents are foreigners but permanent residents (PR) in Malaysia, BUT THE CHILD BORN OUTSIDE MALAYSIA. Can he/she get Malaysian Passport?

Gravitas

Yes, the baby could have Malaysian nationality if born in Malaysia to PR parents.

Malaysian citizens can only hold one passport
