Amend Constitution to give mothers same rights as fathers in citizenship issue, says senator


SIBU: The Federal Constitution needs to be amended to allow Malaysian women to confer citizenship to their children born overseas, says Senator Robert Lau Hui Yew.

The Bawang Assan SUPP chairman said that an amendment to the Federal Constitution needs to be done by inserting words to include "mother" so that Malaysian women are afforded the same right as Malaysian men.
