According to a representative of the High Commission of Malaysia, a child born abroad of a Malaysian father and a foreign mother will receive the nationality of his father only if he is registered in a Malaysian diplomatic mission before he reaches the age of one year (12 May 1993). Any attempt to acquire Malaysian citizenship beyond that age could involve a lengthly process (Ibid.).

No additional and/or corroborating information on this topic is currently available to the DIRB in Ottawa.
