PASIR GUDANG: A father of seven finally admits that his ignorance has led six of his seven children being “stateless” without birth certificates and MyKad.

Md Sani Pannot, 47, said this all started 20 years ago when he kept on delaying registering his marriage to Fatimah Sulaiman, 49, with the Johor Islamic Religious Department. (JAIJ)
