Azalina urges MPs to support Private Member's Bill to allow M’sian mums confer citizenship to overseas born children

PETALING JAYA: The Parliamentary Special Select Committee on women, children affairs and social development is keen to file a Private Member's Bill for a constitutional amendment allowing overseas-born children to be granted citizenship through their Malaysian mothers.

The committee's chairman Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, who is Pengerang MP, however said without an independent, impartial, and well-supported Parliament, she is doubtful of the opportunity for the bill to be tabled in Parliament 'to see the light of day'.
