Kuala Lumpur: Most applicants for citizenship among the elderly fail the Malay language proficiency test, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the Malay language proficiency test is one of the requirements in the application for Malaysian citizenship.“In other countries, their ‘best practices’ require a mastery of the official language or speech of the country concerned, that is, those who apply for citizenship are required to be able to speak the official language of the country that they are in.

This is one of the constraints that the home ministry faces,” he said during the oral question-and-answer session at Dewan Rakyat.
“Most of the applications involve cases of adopted children and ‘illegal children’. They cannot go to school and have to pay expensive hospital bills .“We tell home ministry officials to resolve this first, instead we have been accused of approving tens of thousands of citizenship applications for Chinese nationals. This is mischievous,” he said.
