High Court declares 5-year-old ‘citizen’, directs reissue of birth certificate FMTNews
The High Court has ordered that the national registration department issue a birth certificate reflecting a five-year-old boy’s status as a Malaysian citizen within 30 days from today.
In an oral ruling delivered online, Wan Ahmad held that the boy had fulfilled all the requirements of Article 14 of the Federal Constitution read with paragraph 1 of Part II to its First Schedule, making him a citizen “by operation of law”. In his affidavit in support of the application made in June last year, the boy’s father, a 27-year-old hawker, said his son was born at a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur in July 2018, a month before his marriage to the boy’s Vietnamese mother was registered.In November 2021, the father applied to JPN for his son’s birth certificate to reflect his Malaysian citizenship but received no reply.
