KUALA LUMPUR: The Citizenship Amendment Bill 2024 must be amended further to be retroactive or it will be meaningless for the current batch of children born overseas to Malaysian mothers who are still non-citizens, says Family Frontiers Malaysia.
“Malaysia signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women , a UN convention, 30 years ago. Suriani Kempe, whose child had been denied citizenship for being born overseas despite being born to a Malaysian mother, said that the pending Citizenship Amendment Bill, which has gone through the First Reading in the last session of parliament, if passed will not be retroactive.“The Home Minister has approved many cases of children born overseas to Malaysian mothers, but there are those who have been denied.
“The officers at the Home Ministry told me, if you are not happy, apply again. We have no idea why they were rejected and where we have gone wrong. “It makes me feel guilty for not returning to give birth to my eldest in Malaysia. The Malaysian embassy in Jordan had told us before birth that there would not be any problems. It was my first pregnancy and it was high risk and we did not want to take any chances.
