KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail’s attempt to defend the federal government’s proposed “regressive” amendments to citizenship laws...
Woman gets jail for trying to bribe Singapore’s Changi Airport staff with S$70 to let her board flight without valid visaDHRRA said these persons were born in Malaysia and have never left the country since their birth, adding that these cases include babies and children abandoned at birth in Malaysia and later adopted by Malaysians, as well as children born to Malaysian fathers who had yet to or did not register their marriages.
“While it is understandable that governments may have legitimate concerns about the status of foreign individuals in the country, it is equally important to ensure that the rights and interests of Malaysian citizens are protected,” DHRRA said. Currently, such children in Malaysian families face challenges to be recognised as Malaysian citizens and could even see their citizenship applications being rejected repeatedly.
DHRRA said that during an engagement session with the Home Ministry on September 12, civil society organisations had asked if the claims of “floodgates” and “foreigners” used to justify the proposed amendments were backed by data, but noted that the ministry did not give any concrete explanation. DHRRA said it was disappointing for the home minister to equate the plight of abandoned Malaysia-born children who do not have links to any country, with that of migrant children who still have a country to call their own. — Bernama pic
