Muhyiddin: Home Ministry taking proactive measures to resolve issues on citizenship application
Saturday, 28 Dec 2019 08:46 AM MYT
Its minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the standard operating procedure concerning the matter had been improved without the applicant having to wait too long as was the case previously. “If the child that was born remained without valid document, this would pose numerous problems. This is what we will try to resolve,” he said in an interview with Bernama.
Thus, beginning next year, citizenship application received for individuals below 21 years would undergo a more efficient process that is three months 14 days at the National Registration Department and eight months at the Home Ministry . Muhyiddin said in order to ensure the issue was resolved as contained in the Pakatan Harapan manifesto, particularly concerning children without documents, the KDN had formed a special task force which was entrusted with the responsibility of speeding up and resolving all matters concerning citizenship application.
