Why Second Citizenship Malaysia?

Second citizenship allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of being a citizen of two countries. These include access to two social service systems, the option to live, work, and own property in both countries, and easier travel between them. Dual citizens can carry passports from both countries, which simplifies long-term travel and guarantees the right of entry to both nations.
