A man who was previously stateless expressed his gratitude and joy after his efforts paid off when the Penang High Court approved his application for Malaysian citizenship. — Bernama file picRM10 bonusBUKIT MERTAJAM, Nov 20 — A man who was previously stateless expressed his gratitude and joy after his efforts paid off when the Penang High Court approved his application for Malaysian citizenship.
Lawyer Habib Rahman Seeni Mohideen said his client was discovered as a baby in 1984 by a woman named Rohaida Abdul Rashid near a garbage bin at Chow Kit Market, Kuala Lumpur, wrapped in a white towel, with his umbilical cord still attached. The lawyer said newly uncovered information from Rohaida helped answer questions about Mohd Razwil’s background, which enabled them to reapply for citizenship after previous applications were rejected due to lack of information about his parents.
He said that his status as a stateless individual denied him access to stable employment, disqualified him from free healthcare, and subjected him to exploitation by employers who paid him meager wages.
