Follow up on citizenship application, Tawau MP tells Malaysian mothers of children born overseas

KOTA KINABALU: Tawau MP Datuk Christina Liew has urged Malaysian women with foreign spouses whose children were born overseas to follow up on their children's citizenship application.

She gave the advice in the wake of the Court of Appeal's dismissal of an application by the National Registration Department (NRD), the Home Ministry and the government for a stay of execution of the High Court decision in granting citizenship to children born abroad to Malaysian mothers married to foreigners.
