i'm a malaysian citizen and not holding any status in uk. my son was born in london 4 years ago. his father was born in malaysia but holding a british passport(british citizen),we're not married and seperate 2 years ago(no contact at all ever since).
my son have a british birth certificate, but not a british or malaysia citizen by birth(stateless).As a single mum,it is hard to obtain a birth certificate, passport from malaysia embassy in UK, i'd make a application 3 years ago, but nothing came out yet.
In malaysia immigration law, child born out of wedlock, outside of Malaysia, and to a Malaysian mother is not consider as a malaysia citizen.
if malaysia embassy decline the application, my son will become stateless, but on the other hand he will then entitled to apply for a british citizenship base on his status(5 years old and stateless).
