MCA: Amend Constitution to remove discriminatory practices against women


PETALING JAYA: The Federal Constitution should be amended in the next Dewan Rakyat meeting to remove discriminatory practices against Malaysian mothers, says the MCA.

Its spokesman Chan Quin Er said Parliament should consider tabling amendments to read that “either parent” or “either mother or father” or “both mother and father” may confer citizenship to their children born overseas.
