MACHANG: Amendments to the Federal Constitution related to the citizenship of children born overseas to Malaysian mothers will have a big impact on the Home Ministry, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution .
"There are applications in this category so that is why the amendments will have to go through the due process and it will have a big impact on several components of the Home Ministry," he said. Earlier, Saifuddin and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said in a joint statement that the Cabinet had agreed to the proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution to allow children born abroad to Malaysian mothers married to foreigners to obtain Malaysian citizenship.
The proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution on this matter is to replace the word ‘whose father’ in Part I and Part II of the Second Schedule with the words ‘at least one of the parents’ to enable Malaysian mothers to receive their just rights according to the Federal Constitution.
