Why some people in Malaysia can have both identity as PR of Singapore and Malaysian?

There are a few reasons why some people in Malaysia can have both identity as PR of Singapore and Malaysian.

1. Dual citizenship is allowed in Malaysia

Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world that allows dual citizenship. This means that Malaysian citizens are allowed to hold citizenship of another country without having to give up their Malaysian citizenship.

2. Singapore and Malaysia have a special relationship

Singapore and Malaysia have a close economic and political relationship. This is due to the fact that both countries are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and share a common border. The close relationship between the two countries makes it easier for Malaysians to obtain Singaporean PR status.

3. Some Malaysians have jobs that require them to travel frequently between Singapore and Malaysia

There are a number of jobs that require employees to travel frequently between Singapore and Malaysia. These jobs include sales, marketing, and engineering. Malaysians who have these jobs may find it convenient to have Singaporean PR status, as it allows them to travel freely between the two countries without having to apply for a visa.

It is important to note that having Singaporean PR status does not give Malaysians the same rights and privileges as Singaporean citizens. For example, Singaporean PRs are not allowed to vote in Singapore elections and they are not eligible for certain government benefits.
