Given the Joyce decision, Senator Penny Wong is at the mercy of the Malaysian Government

by Ganesh Sahathevan

Penelope Wong Ying Yen, 
 Senator Penny Wong, was
 born in Kota Kinabalu ,State Of Sabah,
 Federation of Malaysia. Her father Francis Wong 
is a Malaysian citizen,which makes Wong a Malaysian
 citizen by birth.

The High Court has decided that Barnaby Joyce and others are disqualified form sitting in  the Australian Parliament despite their  having no knowledge of their foreign citizenship.

Penny Wong on the other hand cannot deny knowledge of her Malaysian citizenship, and rather than provide proof of renunciation, plays with words that only Malcom Turnbull seems to
accept (for reasons best known to him).

Regardless, our dear Senator Wong is especially now,given the High Court's decision, at the mercy of the Malaysian Government,
who would be silly not to use the fact of  Wong's citizenship against
her,and to the detriment  of the  Australia's national interest.

Senator Penny Wong born in Malaysia,and born a Malaysian citizen-Has she officially renounced Malaysian citizenship, and can we see proof?

by Ganesh Sahathevan






Penelope Wong Ying Yen, aka Senator Penny Wong, was born in Kota Kinabalu ,State Of Sabah, Federation of Malaysia. Her father Francis Wong is a Malaysian citizen,which makes Wong a Malaysian citizen by birth.


While she moved to Australia in  1976,that would not have caused the loss of her Malaysian citizenship.
Many Malaysians who later in life took up citizenship  of other countries assumed that by doing so Malaysian citizenship was lost  automatically, but this is not the case.

There is ,provided for in the Malaysian Constitution and arising laws a process which requires citizens who wish to renounce their citizenship to make a formal application to do so.It is up to the Malaysian Government to determine if the application should be accepted.

If the Government determines that the application is to be accepted, then the applicant is issued a formal notice of that fact,with a copy of his or her Malaysian birth certificate marked with  words in Malay and/or English  ,"No longer a citizen of Malaysia (paraphrase)".

None of this has ever been provided the public in the case of Penny Wong. Indeed the question has never been put. We are simply expected to accept  that Wong is not a citizen of Malaysia, despite the facts.
