DNA test results will not be used as the sole conclusive evidence in granting citizenship, says Deputy Home Minister Datuk Mohd Azis Jamman (pic). He said DNA test was only to support a citizenship application to confirm the blood relation of an individual and family members especially between a child and their parents or other siblings.
“This is because each (citizenship) application still needs to follow other laws including those related to marriage registration and valid residency status in the federation, ” he told Datin Paduka Dr Tan Yee Kew (PH-Wangsa Maju) during Question Time.
