It is my understanding that Indonesian law does not permit dual citizenship. Therefore, by Indonesian law, to become an Indonesian citizen, one must renounce one’s non-Indonesian citizenship, if any.

When Obama admitted on his website that he lost his Kenyan citizenship at the age of 21, I noticed tht he did not mention anything about his Indonesian citizenship.
I've assumed that Obama still retains his Indonesian citizenship since he remains mute on the issue. Oh, so many potential problems that may creep into Obama's future.

Sure, if you're an adult and can renounce your US citizenship. But a child cannot, nor can their parents do it for them. Again, the only person who can renounce one's citizenship is oneself.
Therefore, if Indonesia didn't allow dual citizenship, then Obama simply wouldn't have been able to become an Indonesian citizen.
