It's an equal rights win, Liew says of move to grant citizenship to overseas-born kids of Malaysian mums

KOTA KINABALU: The move to amend the Federal Constitution so children born overseas to Malaysian mothers can gain automatic citizenship is an equal rights victory, says Datuk Christina Liew (pic).

The Sabah Pakatan Harapan Chairman said the move was welcome and should be lauded, since Malaysian mothers with foreign spouses have been crying out for justice for decades, so their children born abroad could be granted automatic citizenship.
