MALAYSIANS found holding dual citizenship would have their Malaysian citizenship revoked automatically, said Home Affairs Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Ibrahim.
He said those found with dual citizenship would not have the option to choose which citizenship to keep.
He said the penalty is similar for those with two passports.
"To date, we have revoked the citizenship of 5,310 Malaysians for having dual citizenship and also 1,930 Malaysians for having two passports.
"Once we detect Malaysians with dual citizenship or two passports their Malaysian citizenship is automatically revoked. There is no room to negotiate or choose," he said, in reply to Senator Mariah Abdullah.
However, Abdul Rahman said those who had their Malaysian citizenship revoked could apply to the Government to be citizens once again.
"It would be at the sole discretion of the Home Minister to approve their application or to reject it," he said.
Abdul Rahman said the Government detects dual citizenship from reports from Malaysian embassies and consulates overseas, the Immigration Department, Police and also the National Registration Department.
