Political will needed to allow citizenship for children born to M'sian women overseas, says Nurul Izzah

NIBONG TEBAL: There must be political will to allow citizenship to be automatically conferred to children born to Malaysian mothers with foreign spouses, says Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar.

She said the nation's top executive authorities such as the Attorney General and the Home Minister could help to ease the passage for such a proposal to be tabled in Parliament so that it can be made into a law.
