Hope of finally getting citizenship dashed

I AM married to a Malaysian, have four Malaysian-born children and six Malaysian-born grandchildren. I have lived in Malaysia for over 20 years, am 67 years old, retired this year and have been a permanent resident with a red identity card for six years.

I love this country and want to be buried here when I die. My family members are all here. I am prepared to give up my British citizenship and passport to fulfil my wish to become Malaysian and live out my twilight years here with my family.
