Senator Penny Wong has been reported to have said that she has nothing to prove for the there is no evidence of her Malaysian citizenship.
Meanwhile; from the Penny friendly SBS:
When Penny Wong moved to Australia, it was summertime and her parents had just separated.
It was 1976. She was eight years old.
“I think Australia smelled dusty,” she said. “It just looked different and smelled different and the light was different.”
“I remember the first time I jumped into the sea here, and how cold it was," she said. “Obviously, in Malaysia it’s near the equator and pretty warm there, and me thinking, 'what’s wrong with the sea?'”
But she says she remembers "feeling like I didn't belong for some time," especially at her new school.
And , as reported here before:
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.
