Stateless student’s teaching dream in limbo


All 18-year-old Mei Mei wants is to finally get her citizenship and go to university.

SIBU: Having scored 10As in the 2018 SPM examination, Chieng Mei Mei has high hopes of going to university to become a teacher. But there is a major stumbling block to her ambition – she is stateless.

Without personal documents such as birth certificate and identity card, it will be difficult for Mei Mei to enter public university despite her good results.
