KUALA LUMPUR: Come this Dec 31, Sri Paranthaman Ayarpadde can finally celebrate his youngest son’s second birthday without being reminded of the loss of his Malaysian citizenship.
The 35-year-old scrap metal merchant had his citizen status restored by the High Court after the Home Ministry, National Registration Department director-general and the Government consented to a declaration that the revocation of his status as a Malaysian since Nov 14, 1997, was void, invalid and had no effect.
